Play out a game

Sun Mar 12, 2017 9:46 am

Why does a professional footballer like Zohore when in possession of the ball in the 90th min of a game we are winning 1-0 decide to cross the ball into the penalty box which is over hit and goes for a goal kick.From the resulting goal kick the opposition go up the pitch and score. Why didn't Zohore take the ball down to the corner flag and slow down the play? Or pass it back to a defender and keep the ball?
We rarely seem to do the right thing at the latter part of a game. Surely the Manager has to take some responsibility of that? Forget all the crap about illness, small squad, this is basic even in parks football.

In the last 4 games we've lost 9 points from winning positions. That's not about an individual, that's a whole team / management failure and Warnock has got to get it right next year or we'll fair little better than this year. He is without doubt the right man for the job currently, but I did think when joined this sort of sloppy play would be a thing of the past.

Take a look at last 4 games or so and you will find most of the goals conceded could and should have been avoided by simple defending

I'm surprised Bamba got as many votes on the MOTM thread as he has! Caught out of position so many times, Morrison saved him with a last ditch tackle once and Richards saved him with a last ditch tackle for the second time!
