Quoted from Mariner93er
What I find totally baffling is the fact we've got 4 defenders who have all played at a higher level, and yet none of them have the slightest bit of composure to pass the ball.


I can only think of the following..


Panic, get rid attitude, and as far away as possible from their area of the pitch

Lack of confidence in playing an accurate ball in a tight area due to leg fatigue, hence safety first option

Lack of confidence in playing an accurate ball in a tight area due lack of confidence in recipient

Lack of ability in playing an accurate ball in a tight area

Lack of movement ahead to pick a safe pass

Quoted from oldun
He was a bit unlucky last night with his effort that thumped against the post only to rebound straight into the keepers arms[b][/b]. In the second half he regularly took the full back on and won several corners. We just don't seem to make them count. I thought a rest might do him good but he lasted the 90 mins well ad don't forget those around him were not playing too well and not making themselves available to receive the ball from him so had to go it alone most of the time. I would like to see more of DJ as well. I heard Tom is carrying an injury but nothing official has been said. On that subject has Shaun Macallister left the country?


Sorry, but he wasnt unlucky. He had 3/4 of the goal free and hit the post. It was a poor miss

Mostly these two, I'd have thought. We've not exactly been known for our flowing movement and passing through midfield in recent years and I wouldn't say that we've really got the players to perform well in a passing game as all of them have weaknesses.

Obviously the odd panicked clearance as well but then you see that at pretty much every level. Sometimes the best choice is just to hack it clear. Just need to make sure you aren't punting it upfield for the sake of it which is too easy when you're under pressure.

You may be right, but from I was sitting in the main stand it was difficult to see how much of the goal he could see.

Perhaps Scunthorpe think they can get the best out of Dembele . He is certainly on their radar and that is a fact

Plenty of empty net showing. Hit it too hard, when all he had to do was roll it in. Probably trying too hard at the moment, but he should have scored.

It was pretty much hit it straight and you score.

Agree with those saying that a shot hitting the post is not unlucky. If you hit the post you've missed. By a smaller margin than hitting it wide but still missed the target.

Hitting the post is as unlucky as conceding a last minute goal.

I've got a feeling that once he scores one he'll get a few in the games that follow. One week it'll just click for him - he was the width of a post away from getting one last night remember!
