crosses into the box = goals!!!

Sat Mar 08, 2014 11:46 pm

Something we haven't done to much this season is get the ball in the box from open play but something we done today and caused massive trouble which gave us 2 goals and should of been 3 if Jones scored that header!!

Noone was causing mayhem as usual and he's the one we need getting the ball in the box!

I did lose complete faith after hull but after a better performance at spurs and 3 points today I'm finding a bit of hope again!!

Would be a massive achievement if we stayed up after the year we've had to go through as fans!! :ayatollah:

To be honest, we've been getting plenty of crosses into the box over the last few months, it's just that there's either been nobody on the end of them or our strikers have fluffed their lines.

Kind of in agreement with this.

Not enough of cutting teams open through the middle. We done a fair bit of it though under Ole, like Campbell v Villa, Bellars v Norwich.

Sorry guys but must disagree - the ball doesn't get into the box enough and when it does it often isn't quick enough. We are a long way off being a quality Premiership side so we've got to play the percentage game. The more balls in the box the more chances we'll create and the more mistakes the other side will make - the own goal yesterday is proof of that :ayatollah:

It's one thing I did notice yesterday the first goal there were men in the box and the 3rd goal mutch had the header with 3,4 players in the box aswell it proves more men in there the more chance of getting goals

We've been putting in crap crosses and not ones the strikers can attack. They were a bit better yesterday, mutch whips some nice balls in....noone put some decent ones in for a change but does need to whip it in quicker. We're getting there tho boys.
