LS180312 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I’ve never felt less confident in the team than the past few weeks - you honestly struggle to pick a player who you think can contribute with a goal. We went through a similar spell with Clarke too so it does beg the question why an attacking mid hadn’t been identified for the Summer. Dicker and Power’s goal return is woeful. Need to contribute a lot more from midfield if the team is struggling like it has been 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re probably right about that, but it feels like we want to walk it into the net a lot of the time. I just think back to El Makrini’s shot that the keeper fumbled into the net against Hamilton and wonder why we don’t at least try it a bit more - there’s always the chance of the goalie making a blunder or a deflection leading to a goal, but our midfielders have clearly been told not to hit shots. It definitely looks like they never practice them which I find baffling. As I said, it’s all very well if you’re managing to grind out wins but it becomes frustrating when you can’t buy a goal. I see other teams doing this regularly against us but we seem to have an aversion to it. Edited January 11, 2020 by killie89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 A reluctance to hit shots is nothing new ... it's been that way for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
