5 goals conceded against Cheltenham/Fleetwood

[GaryMadineGoalMachine]

Worst goal scorers in the league and we concede 5 - that is a massive problem.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Dya think!!

 

[doolan_legend]

All 5 goals conceded when not playing attacking forward thinking football. All 6 goals scored when going for the game. It’s so obvious what our tactics should be.

 

[zico_bamber]

Need a keeper that saves a few shots every now and then. Unreal how he has declined. Egg plant was shocking too.

Re: Cheltenham- Am I the only one who doesn’t care that we conceded because we still won?!

3 points. I’m not arsed if we got complacent because we put it to bed and broke our Tuesday night duck.

 

[Mike_BFC]

Grimmy conceded 9 goals in 2.5 games and probably should have done better with 6 of them.

 

[voyeur]

15 goals conceded in our last 7. With three centre backs.

 

[Joey_Rex]

Grimshaw has been extremely poor recently and our defensive shape is all over the place. The tactics and formation just isn't working.

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

And yet Critchley turned to that shit defense to try and see the game out v Fleetwood. When will he learn

 

[hertfordseasider]

If O'Donnell has a good game on Saturday I'd be tempted to give him a go

Eki is ok in a, 4 but very poor in a 3.that is why he got dropped. If we are playing 3 would rather Tharme than Eki TBH.
Agree Grimmy needs to feel challenged for no1 spot

 

[Camberwell1]

We conceded 7 to Barnet, I once remember; Tony Cottey

Got promoted ! (somehow)

Frankly, we haven’t a hope in hell of promotion but we need to try and get some joy out of this mess - GET yer chins up

Yes it seems

3 points wasn’t enough to prevent CJ, Critchley and Grimmy going into the stocks !

 

[1953forever]

Nine conceded in three games.
3 at the back is great Neil.

The maddest thing is, we’re being cautious in setting up and letting in loads of goals

 

[BFC76]

I suppose it does ask the question who is our best defence?

It also asks what is happening in front of our defence.

What's cautious about ...

Pennington Marv Hubby
Dougall
CJ Carey TOB Dale
Kouassi Rhodes

I urge for greater caution!

We had 5 forwards on the pitch and TOB staying too far forward. Dougall overloaded.

A flat midfield 3 against some teams is far too cautious. I get it at Oxford away but not at home to Leyton Orient or away at Fleetwood.

Anytime we broke Wednesday there was nobody ahead of Dougall (between the lines) to play into which meant us going backwards or sideways.

Two sitting and one advanced in midfield.

You might not see this on the telly

I've watched it twice through, and Carey and Boothe don't sit, they get well ahead of the ball a lot of the time. And the commentators cremarked about it, and the difficulty Dougall had dealing with it in his own. I suspect Boothe don't d not play according to his instructions. And got hooked at half time.

We’re playing a sitter and 2 either side of this, it’s like a DM, RCM and a LCM or in the modern world a 6 and 2 8’s.

The issue is that as you said Dougall is left on his own but we can’t get the ball forward quick enough to the other two who are stuck rigid in their positions. They might be more advanced but they aren’t available for the ball much or it doesn’t give us a better opportunity to attack.

Watch it a 3rd time but like I said on a telly as it’s following the ball you might not get a clearer picture of this. I saw it happening 1st half.

We need two sitting and 1 advanced.

Carey was up with the forwards a lot, and Oak Booth was just wandering around dazed. We should have made a concussion substitution and put Connolly on to help Kenny out.
