canarytom 0 Posted August 3, 2009 What on earth was Donkerty doing for the first goal? That attempted tackle was terrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beauseant 0 Posted August 3, 2009 [quote user="canarytom"]What on earth was Donkerty doing for the first goal? That attempted tackle was terrible[/quote] Looked even worse live. N''Zogbia just dropped his shoulder and Doc went down like a redwood. Note also how Spillane simply stands off and lets him pick his spot. Getting caught square is also a bit of a worry as illustrated by the second goal.However, our overall defensive display was pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted August 3, 2009 We were very sloppy for their goals and hopefully that won''t be repeated too often. However Prem sides do tend to punish you if you make a mistake like that and I don''t think League One teams will be quite so ruthless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linco88 0 Posted August 3, 2009 on a posative note though how good was are third goal!? a counter attack and a beckamesk pass from wes n a crackin finish from whaley. we wouldnt have done that last season!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted August 3, 2009 That was a sensational ball from Hoolahan. A 30-yard first-time crossfield pass. If one of the guys at the big teams did that people would be raving about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He really made us tick and looked up for the challenge. I think he''ll be key this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,921 Posted August 3, 2009 Surprised the video made it past copyrighters, if I had known it would I could have put them up sooner! (thats my brothers account, by the way)I think Doherty wins the award for ''Most Sold Player In Pre-season Ever'' after his attempts with the first goal. He went down quicker than.... something.

ZLF 334 Posted August 3, 2009 The first goal was shocking all round - too easily lost in midfield, then Spillane is the defender who does nothing but back off, leaving Doc with ground to cover who foolishly swallows the dummy and dives to block. For me the main problem in that goal is the usual NCFC problem in recent years - backing off from an on running player - clsoe him down a bit and the shot becomes so much more difficult to score from and Doc need not get involved. Fortunately we will not face quality like that finish often this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NottsCanary 0 Posted August 3, 2009 To be fair, in the second half Spillane played very well, getting a few good tackles in there, but agree that the goal was made by us typically backing off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfcfan 0 Posted August 3, 2009 Oh dear Doherty, that was very poor defending. I don''t want him anywhere near the side, he''s a liabilty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delia Out! 0 Posted August 3, 2009 Cheers for the goals, Martin''s second was quite good, but great play by Otsemobor to set up his first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyLo 0 Posted August 3, 2009 [quote user="ncfcfan"]Oh dear Doherty, that was very poor defending. I don''t want him anywhere near the side, he''s a liabilty.[/quote]Leave the Doctor alone!!! You obviously didn''t go to the game, as you would have seen Wes Hoolahan try to dribble the ball out of defence as always and then lose it! Basically gifted the ball to N''zogbia, who is a Premier player, very quick, has a great left foot and he did Doc and Spillane. He made it look easy, but we''re not going to be up against players like N''zogbia in League One. Hoolahan was brilliant after that, so was Doc and we won the game!! Don''t complain people!!!

Lambert Revolution! 0 Posted August 3, 2009 Doherty''s challenge is the type I used to make when I was a youth at carrow road lol, trying to anticipate the turn and merely block it off.. sadly it doesn''t work against players with a brain and two good feet, that type of challenge is youth football and sunday league, fuck know''s what the Doc was thinking! Spillane imo was doing a good job standing on his feet but was too square, not showing him wide giving him space to work inside, was early in the game so just hope neither of them had settled in.. mind you game kicks off a 3pm, that''s when they need to be ready not 3.06.
