gsr600 0 Posted October 19, 2009 after watching the game i think the blame has to fall upon foster for the defeat, why on earth did he make the kick when the defence were walking away and had there backs turned, if that was theo that did that wed all be slating him as the worst keeper in history, yes foster made some fantastic saves but that was just stupid, we were drawing, with 2 minutes to go and he does that, why didnt he wait until the defence were ready and waiting.in my mind foster lost us the point we deserved.

Marty 0 Posted October 19, 2009 the guy made a mistake, but why on earth was Otsemobor staring into the middle distance? he could and should have prevented this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted October 19, 2009 I think its harsh to blame he defence. They''re hardly going to be standing on the edge of the 18 yard box , they always going to be high enough upfield to catch strikers offside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 17 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Defenders should always turn & face...basic stuffYes Forster''s kick was poor but Semi should''ve been paying attenttion...lack of concentration & ability to do the basics from 2 players has cost us a decent, well-deserved point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsr600 0 Posted October 19, 2009 yeah it was a mistake but a costly mistake that couldve been avoided, semmy for all hes worth couldnt of done anything about beckford as beckford is a superb striker who latched onto a stupid error by foster, sorry but it wasnt semmys fault for the goal it was fosters, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CJ 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Agree it was all down to Forster who also compounded it by running out either too late or too early depending on your view. He either needed to get out of the box and do the "professional " job necessary to prevent a goal or leave it late to let Semmy get back more and still be charging at Beckford when he was sizing up to shoot not stood still near edge of box.As a keeper I am afraid you only need one mistake and all the brilliance earlier is forgotten. Consistency is the key word, now as Theo knows we will see if he buckles because the crowd will watch and see, he can not afford another one for some time now.As I said I think he could have retrieved it with better challenge either in or out box that for me makes the mistake even worse.

Jules 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Looking at the goal again I''m not sure that Forster did the right thing in rushing out to Beckford. It would still have had to have been a good finish to beat Forster had he stayed just off his line, but running out made up his mind for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zippy23255 0 Posted October 20, 2009 At the time Forster kicked the ball Semmy and Beckford were near enough next to each other, one strolling down the pitch looking at nothing, the other keeping an eye on play. A bad kick by Forster, yes, but Semmy should have been watching the play because if he had I''m absolutely positive he would have got to the ball first.

KenBrown 0 Posted October 20, 2009 The goal was a keeper mistakeHaving said that I still think the whole defence takes some criticism for not really paying attention to play.It certainly appeared that defence was walking away with no real interest on what Forster was doing and this with so little time to play All the hard work gone in a lapse of concentration.
