Bradwell Yellow 0 Posted October 19, 2009 You are Jon Otsemobor..Fraser Forster has just done a terrible goal kick and you are the quickest one chasing back, do you...A) Try to stand him up and hope Forster comes out quite late after making himself big when Beckford''s near the penalty spotB) Try to get a foot on the ball on the edge of the box (What he did)or..C) Bring down Beckford from the edge on the box, possibly get shown a red and think that a red card is better that 0 points.What would you have chosen?

shefcanary 2,468 Posted October 19, 2009 i''m not his greatest fan, he was looking the wrong way when the kick was taken, but he did pull his hamstring in chasing back - he couldn''t have taken beckford out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No ''Possibly a red'' - you''ve stopped a 1v1 from behind so definitely a red. SO you could still end up conceding - from a set piece - and Semi is suspended for the Swindon game, leaving us with Francomb and no cover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6088m canary 0 Posted October 20, 2009 i guess the answer is concentrate (not just semi, whole back 4) and stay goal side when your keeper is kicking.Seems the obvious answer anyway :SThen if beckford does intercept, just hack him down 40yards away from goal,get a yellow and move on.

If he''d have given a penalty away we''d all be going mad at him. Fact is it was Forsters error 100%, nobody else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forster should be talking to Rudd about how to kick Forster''s kicking has never been spectacular and the defence should give him the cover that he clearly needs.His kicking from his hands was dreadful against L Orient.

Bradwell Yellow 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Simple rule of thumb is that when your keeper makes a clearance you turn and face the ball.I''d like to think the defence got the hair drier for slowly ambling towards the halfway line. It looked like Otsemobor had to double check to see whether Beckford was running! Still, hopefully Beckford will leave in January, enabling htem to run out of steam and for us to eventually take top spot......Ok but we can still dream :).

Syteanric 1 Posted October 22, 2009 C) anyone in their right mind would flatten him!Its injury time, take him out, red card.. see out the last 30 seconds with 10 men and a point in the bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G 0 Posted October 22, 2009 [quote user="Marty"]the answer is option D), stand like a lemon whilst staring into the middle distance.[/quote]I hope your not saying thats what he done? I think Forster would have saved if Semmy hadn''t got a touch. He should have snapped him on the edge of the box. We didn''t have any cover against Leeds so Francomb could have filled in and if he had to go off, Lappin move back and someone else fill in for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delia Out! 0 Posted October 22, 2009 To be honest, it is a no brainer for me, I would take him out and risk them scoring a free-kick rather than Beckford going through to almost definately score.Mind you, whilst Otsemebor was chasing back, in the 2-3 seconds he had to think about it, he probably thought that going for the ball would be the easiest option.

CDMullins 446 Posted October 22, 2009 Imagine you a fraser Forster, a professional goal goalkeeper that has been playing football for 10,12 more years??Do you A) Kick the ball B) Kick the floor?Quit trying to blame Semi, as much as I dont rate him, he wasnt at fault for the goal!

Howson is now! 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Try my hardest to win the ball fairly? Oh wait... That''s what Otsemobor did.It''s an unfortunate thing that should just be put to rest. The defence shouldn''t have turned their backs but at the same time how often does your keeper eff up on that scale with the last kick of the game. Plenty of people at fault, I''m still super gutted about it but these things unfortunately happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
