swjf50 0 Posted May 7, 2013 scored any goals from outside the box this season? If we have I can''t remember them, it must be a long while ago. It''s about time we had our next long range goal.Also can someone tell our players football is a contact sport and you can tackle or stop an opposing player in his tracks. I couldn''t believe how easy it was for Agbonlabhor to run through our midfield without being challenged. One of our players was even running alongside him and didn''t attempt a tackle. If you can''t get the ball, at least bundle him over! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phyxius 0 Posted May 7, 2013 We let that Reading player do the same thing a couple of weeks ago. And Gareth Bale tore us a new one doing the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi 0 Posted May 7, 2013 We have little to no pace anywhere on the pitch which doesn''t help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted May 7, 2013 We actually have quite a bit of pace. Not really really fast pace, but decent enough pace.Howson especially. Bennett obviously. The FBs are no slouches, Martin is faster than he''s given credit for I think. Pilks is pretty fast on the ball. Hoolahan can also give a lot of central players a run for their money when he gets going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Walking Man 13 Posted May 7, 2013 Snodgrass has scored free kicks this season... In open play? Can''t remember! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted May 7, 2013 holt is not fast enough and that was shown with benteke, agbonlahors and weimanns movement on sat.I agree that pilks benno etc. have pace - but the real problem is passing pace is so slow - westwoods passes were first or second touch - makes foot pace less necessary when the ball is played nearly instantly - our defensive players take too long to pass, in part because the attacking midfielders are too close and hold and the attacking midfielders too static - oh for some movement and quick thinking.Thats what fox was so good at last year - the one touch pass creating space and pace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sussexyellow 55 Posted May 7, 2013 Whittaker at Swansea.May have been just inside the box but was a goal that sort of meets the criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
