skygod Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 1 hour ago, WWWWnnnnnn! said: Dont agree about Brophy shooting early. It is his thing and its good. Defenders n goalies love strikers to take a touch. He is a striker, give him it he shoots early before they are settled. Shooting early is fine, but he often "winds up" for a shot by taking two or three touches. If I'm a keeper and he gets the ball 18-25 yards out, it's predictable that he is going to try to shoot and I like that. What I don't like is the unpredictable. He needs to mix it up more but we've been saying that since SC was there so he must be getting instructions to shoot on sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we start getting more players around him and consequently more opportunities Brophy should adapt his game. When it's been one or two chances a game I didn't blame him for shooting on sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite keen for us to bring him back when it was rumoured under Clarke. Any time I’ve seen him for United he’s been a bit of a bomb scare.

Monk Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Pleased with that. United had some dodgy games on plastic last season and as I said, their back two can be suspect. watching the game back really don’t think we had a poor player on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember noticing that even when he was doing well overall he dropped a clanger just about every game, just like the one yesterday. At first he was getting away with them, to be fair often by recovering really well. The luck eventually ran out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 His decision making was always suspect, like trying to head the ball on the ground in the 3-6 at home to ICT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you've got your games mixed up. The 3-6 game was in November 2011. Connolly signed for us in 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guff92 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Not sure if it’s been mentioned but if you watch Mark Connolly after the first 2 goals he’s going absolutely mental at everyone bar himself....

Nice to see his still just as angry and s**te at football as he was with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember we were desperate for him to return from injury as he had been so important to the team. Who remembers his lying flat out on the ground header to clear? I think he did this a few times less successfully than the first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some feat Sometimes stats do not tell a full story......after going ahead we often sat off Utd and let them pass it around well away from our goal, far all their possession and corners.....they hardly created that many clear cut chances 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
