"Hoofball"

Sun Mar 04, 2012 6:05 pm

If we are going to hoof the ball towards the opposition defence at every
conceivable opportunity?shouldn't we be calling back parkin from scunny?

We may as well have sold Whitts for 5mill as all we do is bypass or midfield?

Faye had a walk in the park today against our none exsistant attack?

The worst thing about today is losing to an overated team(gutted)we were ok
when we played on the grass,but time and time again hoofed it to an out of form
striker!!

Hope it was just a case of after the Lord Mayor's Show!!

This constant long ball is doing my head in we keep lobbing the ball to miller who has got no chance of winning the ball in the air against 6ft defenders we play much better when we just pass the ball along the floor

A lack of width forces sides to resort to hoof ball something we have been lacking all season

There are no options to pass through a crowed midfield. If Whitts dropped any deeper he would have been in the family stand.

Our movement around the pitch is awful, we never create spaces to run into??
so static!!

It really is time Malky pushed Whitts further up again - at times today he was the last line of defence; how can he influence the attacks from there.

Lawrence started next game will give more us options to play it out wide more.
