Downsouth 6,175 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Why didn't Britt simply lob the keeper? Not many complaining about his golden chance 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not many complaining about his golden chance because I don't think it was that golden, he never got any good chance to shoot it because the second he did he was tugged off balance.

Fact, strikers miss more goals than they score. Strikers missing a few goals would not return statistic, P13, W2 GD -6, points 11. Not daft, facts. I’ll add, this team is better than its current position and form, so who is at fault? The manager. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 2 points in 6 games, who in our team can score to get us out of this?....I cant think of anyone tbh Britt when hes not scoring doesnt do enough and Fletcher misses sitters at crucial times. Get a striker in someone like Kike whos going to work his socks off and wants it from a foreign club (English players are too expensive) and we might survive. Link to post Share on other sites

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 If we are going to have to rely on Britt and Fletcher to score the goals for us then we're ***, we're going to have to pray that Tav and Wing start cracking a few in. Fletcher wants horse whipping after the miss of the season, cost us a few points this fella, he's excellent header against Cardiff being another one, garbage. Link to post Share on other sites

The manager. thats abit of an ambiguous statement you have to rate chances on their individual merits. in anycase, theres a difference between chances and open goals, id bet alot of money that most strikers score more open goals than they miss. (except ofcourse boro strikers). well if u look at the games so far, against luton we miss a pen at 3-2 to go 4-2 up and win the game (again most striker score more pens that miss i assume) 2 points dropped. next game brentford two goals disallowed that wernt offiside, dont go 2-0 up lose 3 points dropped. refs fault. obviously deserved a point v west brom open goal missed along side a number of chances. at least a point dropped. and obviously tonight 2 points dropped as we easily should have scored one of our many chances. an easy 8 points dropped this season which would have us 11th. again i dont think we've been great but i do think a mixture of bad luck and some terrible misses have cost. i mean weve missed about 5 open goals already this season. most teams wont miss that many all season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've said before and I'll say again, he put WAY too much stock in Mowbrays "find a way to win" comments post Blackburn. Immediately turned away from his way of playing and hasn't had a real identity since. Link to post Share on other sites

Its not unlucky to miss open goals its bad technique. Luck has nothing to do with it. These are basic rules taught on UEFA courses Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 It’s desperate isn’t it? I’m not really sure what we’re trying to do, no clear patterns of play (apart from getting to the byline down the right side when an earlier cross would be better), no confidence and no leadership. Where is the next win coming from? Draws and inability to score only results in one thing (as we learnt when we were in the PL) Link to post Share on other sites
