You need to post “happy clappy come on lads, we an do this” type of posts. Alternatively, you can be concerned and pissed off, but understand that there is a lot more left of the game and hope for the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other sides manage to contain Woods & Vedra. They’re hardly Toshack and Keegan FFS. It’s Burnley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 4 April, 2021 Share Posted 4 April, 2021 Just now, The Cat said: Drawing 2-2 isn't bad. The issue is we let in a goal and a load of people throw their toys out of the pram. There were already signs before their second goal that we were getting into the game and finding decent pockets of space. Enough to show that we'd create a few decent chances. Take one and the whole game changes, and that's exactly what happened. Yep. As usual the “big men” of the forum have made themselves look like total prats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 4 April, 2021 Share Posted 4 April, 2021 Well that was a strange half. I honestly thought it was all over at 0-2, because Burnley are usually very good at protecting leads and we always struggle/fail to score against those kind of sides. But since Pieters went off it does seem like tactically it has gone in our favour. Thought Pope should have saved Stu's shot but Danny's touch was excellent and he looked like the pre- injury Ings for his goal. I'm not overly confident we won't concede again, but I'll honestly take a point. Will be absolutely gutting for us to force our way back into it only to go on and lose.

Equally, I’ll give credit where its due to the lads for fighting back. Let’s hope it finishes 4-2 or something that would be nice Because we are shit defending today and the 1st 20 mins we were asleep .. pieters gone off has opened up some space .. good response from saints but gaping holes across the back needs to be addressed!

He's having a lot of joy against Bednarek, winning most duels. Woods isn't the type of player that centre backs come up against much anymore which is maybe why he's struggling a bit. Not sure if we're defending any differently against him today than we did last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's either a decent PL defender, or an absolute mess at this level. There's no in between with him. I'd be tempted to sub him at HT as he seems like a mistake waiting, but I know we won't.

You do know that strikers regularly switch positions to get the best matchups and if you've played football beyond under 8 the best way to deal with that as a defender is to pass the player across. You dont start crossing over each other as its chaotic. Bednarek needs to just deal with the physicality when Wood does move onto him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's facing away from goal, he's no immediate threat, so keep your eye on the flick ons and if he does bring it down THEN you get tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those ratings for the defence aren't good by any stretch. Bednarek has made some good interceptions which will have him rated as the best of a bad bunch right now. Surprised to see Redmond's so high as he hasn't had huge success in what he's done so far, although I think he's had a much better game than usual.
