ericofarabia Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 With the possible exception of the Norwich Goal, and Man U offside goal, we seem to be culpable in all the goals against us, rather than good play by the opposition!! Sunderland - 2 minutes, the shortest player on the pitch wins a header from a corner Norwich - good play by Redmond, but he got past JWP too easily and Wanyama seemed to pull out of the challenge before Redmond shot. Man Utd - good through ball BUT, Rooney was offside, so it doesn't count Stoke - 12 seconds in - simply WTF was that. Will probably never happen again in my lifetime Hull - over casual play by both Artur and Wanyama. Mentally switched off as we were so much in control? Arsenal - I guess you could say it has been on the cards for Artur to get caught out at some stage. No excuse for not wellying it when the situation was spiralling out of control. - Soft penalty. If you look at every corner over the match, similar incidents will have passed unpenalised. I think we had the record for least goal attempts against us a few games ago, not sure if that is still the case. But conceding only 7 in 12 games that include away matches at Liverpool, Man u and Arsenal really is an amazing feat, BUT amazingly it could have been so much better. Bizarre.

Micky Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 Totally agree, think of the points that we could of had now with a little more care and better preparation in some of those situations. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 nearly all goals are avoidable. few are just worldies. some goals are completely avoidable, like yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfp1 Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 He may have gone but every goal we have conceded has a touch of the early Adkins prem days about it. We must have some sort of record for the most unorthodox goals against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 You could say that we´re in control of our own destiny, not all teams can say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmacian_saint Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 I guess you could say that 4 goals should've been conceded instead of 7, with Hull, Stoke and 1-0 yesterday as totally avoidable. Even then the Hull goal does seem to happen quite often in football so 5 and no one would spot it. Things like this do happen more than once in the season to teams though and we do seem quite stubborn about our "play from the back patiently" style even in adverse situations so maybe it's a price we have to pay.

CB Saint Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 (edited) By the same virtue, how many of our goals scored have come from the other sides mistakes and not the brilliance of our strikers Edited 24 November, 2013 by CB Saint shocking spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 24 November, 2013 Share Posted 24 November, 2013 It's probably harsh to describe Redmonds goal as not being down to good play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
