R13 - Over the ditch against the Nix

[Josho Howe]

COME ON. They've let us back in the game and that was the chance. What a terrible attempt. Not hard to get that on target

Can’t agree FP. They strolled down the middle and Ziggy was the last line he came up way to high and missed the tackle.

The ball was then just played into space. A good through ball. Clisby was actually the only one close to getting back. Just because it was scored in his position doesn’t make it his fault.

2nd should of been closed by the mids. They are supposed to drop into to that corner pocket and double team and cut off the angle on those shots.

I think Clisby is coping hate today based on prior performances not judged fairly on today

Ageee on Ziggy but on Clisby... just watch it? It’s his man who once again just gets to just make an untracked run and get behind and easily sets up the goal. It’s not even happening quickly for this level, so much time to see it. But he’s oblivious.

That run is so bloody easy to cut out, all he has to do is the first and most fundamental of his jobs and actually be aware. And I’m only angry because he’s been doing it all season. And teams have. Wen scoring, It’s known to every side we face. He’s a huge liability.

Hard to take, would have been a quality deserved goal. Should be 2-2.

Good tackle by Clisby. Happy to give credit where it’s due. But it doesn’t make up for all the other dross.

Great tackle Jack!

 

[Josho Howe]

We should be at least level or up in this game. No one can finish to save themselves

 

[greenlig]

Yeah pathetic attack. Absolutely horrible, silvera has been abject. Horrible game.

 

[greenlig]

Our worst player forced an own goal. Match review right there. We huffed and puffed, but zero creativity facing the goal. We dominated the second half, but teams know that's ok because we won't score. Duric was sorely missed.

 

[Josho Howe]

We needed to get something out of that game. We can't afford to keep dropping points and falling further behind. A draw would have been a fair result but we come away with nothing coz no one could finish. Those chances HAVE to be taken by a team in our position.

1st half defence cost us dearly, credit to them 2nd half, we were the better side for the most part but you can have all the possession and good play but if no one can tuck it away, it means nothing

We have the lowest goals for in the league.

This is that extra quality we need to buy.

Staj has to take a lot of blame for that game back 3 didn’t work players out of position and resting our leading goal scorer. Like to see Simon and Jaír together up front

 

[nero]

What was that tripe? I actually like our coach I think he can improve this team but what is going on?

 

[Tevor]

Shit game and a team of mid level players that have no idea how to chase a win or draw. Oar can go IMO way too many mistakes and not enough quality from a leader. GG I don’t rate and DDS just can’t score to save himself and too often just tries to be flash not set up play. Muzz you have had your chances and sorry I don’t think you are going to make it. Looking forward to the clean out at seasons end after the third spoon in a row.

f**k that's frustrating. Had to get something out of that. Better team for basically all of the second half and got nothing to show for it.

 

[greenlig]

It's a worry when the creative backup to Duric is Silvera. He's looked listless for a couple of months now. Pity Nizzy kicked the shit out of Staj's dog.

Exactly right. If we had Ball or Hooper, where would we be instead of 2nd last and least goals in the league? No clinical striker = no goals and relying on midfielders for goals. No Milan and we have zero X-Factor.

 

[greenlig]

Jair can finish, there's just no service. Zero. We had ONE feed to Dasilva in the game, that was it.

Still not convinced on the first one. It’s really a back 3 and it’s more Rowles than Clisby.

Just saw a different angle on the second and he was horrible. Just lasadazical and weak. First time I thought it was other players but was him. GG dropped into cover him and he didn’t back up GG.

Just felt like everyone was all in on him and no one else when plenty others were worse on the first half. 2nd that i saw he was rubbish except the block.

I’ll happily conceed the argument based on the 2nd goal.

They comfortably parked the bus and we didn’t let them down with our toothless attack. Just rubbish and I don’t buy into we were the better team in the second half as they had just as many if not more opportunities for their third goal and looked more likely.

Been our problem for years

That and the rest of your post really does perfectly sum up the game.

Matty did well to set up two chances - but we’ll keep losing games until we have a couple of quality strikers and more than one mid banging them in.

Someone needs to have a word with the goal posts though. We can’t buy an off and in.
