Thomason has more than enough time and space when the ball is played to him. 2nd goal starts with a loose pass from Ogbeta and then Santos has his pants pulled down. Looked like we'd got away with it until the corner came in... Agreed, no blame on Coleman. IEs tactic is the reason that happened, if the ball is played to Tomo in that position half a dozen times a game, he's going to miscontrol at least one, so don't ask the keeper to play it short/central to a player with his back to his opponent.

Borderline, but easy to spot the Barnsley lad is the closest by some distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 6 Site Supporter Share Posted March 6 When GT got the ball and the defenders had gone wide, everyone left the Barnsley player on the edge of the area. Between Coleman and Thomason they fucked up. Move on, learn from it. Batter Exeter. Stay second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a pen, but you have to make the ref know. On the pen, I was surprised Randall gave it up tbh. He grabbed the ball immediately and looked confident. Guess he'll be third in line after Dion and Morley now Not sure Dion's a shoe in is he? I might be wrong, somebody missed one this season but I can't recall who, or who against. He did miss in the pen shoot out (like most), and Ipswich last season. Scored v Stevenage and Derby. TBH some that he's scored have been very saveable whereas Morley's have 2 or 3 have been convincing. You'd think Collins would be calm and accurate too.  On Sheehan missing, I thought he was hobbling at the end after being clattered a few times, and I wonder if his weak pen was affected by being injured. Just grateful the keeper didn't get it away from the middle of the box, it all worked out well in the end but not sure who takes the next one.

There've been phases of this season when we've been better at both and hopefully we are now entering another one. If that's the case we are in with a genuine chance of championship football next year. Let's replicate that last 30 mins more often! This next few weeks is going to be a proper rollercoaster. Buckle yourselves in. We're already buckled in, the rollercoaster arguably started when we played Barnsley at home didn't it 😀 Been no let up. Must admit, I'll be ready for a breather after Derby till Stevenage 13 days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Barnsley would have been down to 9 men by then and we'd have already had 2 previous pens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be inclined to not pass to GT in that area in the channels yes, but Sheehan the only player I’d trust in that high risk area in the central part of the pitch on the edge of penalty area and with no cover.

Members DazBob Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 I really don't think it needs to be over-analysed. It wasn't a pass from our 'keeper that doesn't happen dozens of times every game. It was simply a mistake from Thomason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactamundo. We'll see this happen again. We play in a risky way where one mistake can be costly ... but that's the way we play. It's not going to change.

Ani Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 GT had taken a similar ball a few minutes earlier but it was bobbling and never seemed under control. The irony for the goal was that he took a good first touch. Evatts comments about playing behind their full backs explain why Coleman kept trying to kick into corners, or even throw it. It was like crown Green bowls with everything running out of play.  There was also a ball in first half were Sheehan looked like he just had to play it 20 yards forward and Collins was into space, instead he turned back and the chance was gone . Evatt went crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeversLeftPeg Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 I can't remember the last time I saw a team score against us and thinking that it was really good football or that it was an absolute screamer. Always seems to be a deflection, a bit of sloppy defending or a massive mistake.

Take Hunt Off Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 For me the game changed when Cogley went off , Jones moved over & Iredale slotted in on the left. We upped the pace , won second balls & there was plenty of space suddenly available particularly on the right where Collins really got into the game supported well by Jones. Maghoma coming on helped the flow & it would have been a travesty had we not got anything from the game. GT did fuck up for their first , plus he was on a yellow but what a performance from him that second half given the baggage he was carrying.True grit that lad plenty to learn but probably our most improved player , even though refs seemed to have his card marked. His foul was tame compared to the late one on Sheehan were the referee gave a bounce-up! Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evatts preferred 2 is Sheehan and Thomason, and then it’s a toss up between Maghoma and Dempsey…for the 3rd starter… my view is Dempsey is the better option and come the end of the season barring injury he will have played more minutes than Maghoma.. that makes him (Maghoma) the 4th best midfielder at the club, 4th best at a league one club can accurately be described as average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
