WHY DONT WE SHOOT????????????

Wed Mar 13, 2013 9:00 am

Time and time again, not just in the match last night, why do we not take an opportunity to shoot when we can. Teams must look at us and know that that is something we do not do and therefore they defend /base their game play on the inevitable cross in to the box or attempt to walk the ball into the net.

I also might as well vent my frustration of the distribution from Marshall. Can't fault him as a goal stopper but when it comes to quick balls to facilitate a counter attack or indeed a kick with a low trajectory, it very rarely happens. His constant high balls only assist the defence of our opponents and his only other alternative is to give it to our defenders to gain momentum forward, which in turn sometimes causes mistakes for which we get punished. It really is an aspect of his game that he needs to work on to give us that etra attacking feature.

Left the game feeling frustrated but slightly happier with the 1 -1 draw against Leicester more than the same result against Derby.

Still believe..............but we must do better :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :old:

.....and this is not hard for our opponents to understand, so they will defend with that in mind!!!................let's try something different and SHOOT and change defence into attack quickly rather than giving them time to organise :roll:

Yeah, so many times we needed someone driving the ball forward but it's as if the players haven't got the legs to do it. Is this Malky's hardcore training regime throughout the season making the players hit the wall?

We need to freshen up the midfield anyway. More energy because at the moment our play in the middle of the park feels hesitant and laboured.

100% agree. I spoke about this as well and it definetly needs sorting out.
