Please don't only choose the nice results This just shows what a prick you are. 'must improve defending' you say someone points out we have conceded 1 in last 5, and that was a great shot. You then give examples of what we were like earlier in the season, pretty much a perfect example of how we have improved. Anyway let's see how your lot defend against City today.

There were plenty of opportunities to play for more time, IE could prob highlight half a dozen examples of what could/should have been done to run down the clock. I noticed Gilks managed to waste about 30 seconds at one point, maybe some learning to be done? It may come in handy next time we need to close a game down.

I think it was a combination of the changes which were made after we had taken the lead , which for me were unnecessary seeing as we took the lead late on , by all means Swallow time up with subs in injury time but for me when you take the lead late on go with what you've got.

Razaldo9 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I said at the time about subs. He was in such a tough position. You need to bring on some for a bit of energy, but don't want to negatively impact the momentum. We needed to keep playing if anything. Dropping in is asking for trouble. Maybe Tutte on to make a midfield 3 with Lee and MJ would have helped us keep the ball. But I think it was more about sitting deep than the changes.

Moderators Casino Posted March 7, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2021 I think it was more about them having little to lose, going 8 up front, getting a bit of luck the ball finding its way to rowe and a finish that you wouldnt normally see in div 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else notice none of their players rushed to pick the ball from our next and rushing to kick off again. They were happy to get a point before the game, during the game and after the game.

Dapo should have been replaced with Tutte or Thomason and we win the game - no need to take Isgrove off and their man wouldn’t have been free at the back post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 7, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2021 Their keeper came up for the corner just prior to their goal. Often that’ll confuse the hell out of a defence as they won’t have plans to mark the extra man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strike is top drawer, 99/100 in this league it is back of the stands rather than back of the net. The only lesson IE needs to get over is if that strike was at 2-0 it would be forgotten by now, killing a game off when on top is key. Bounce back midweek with a win.

marple whites Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 We can’t keep relying on trying to defend a 1 goal lead as anything can happen. we need to be killing these games off earlier. cheltenham and Exeter had both killed there games off yesterday by halftime (albeit probably lesser opponents), but none the less we haven’t really done that all season.

ianofcleveleys Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 It was a disappointing goal to concede, couple of chances to clear after the initial free kick (which wasn't very good) then a couple more from the corner. They'd properly gone for it by then though, every striker they have on the pitch, keeper up, the works. Chucked it in the mixer and it paid off for them, fair enough. Wouldn't have played out as a situation if we'd been two up, more the issue for me, not making enough of all the possession and approach play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those Blackburn games we looked anything but a defensively well organised team. 07/03/2001 Blackburn Rovers 3-0 Bolton Wanderers 20,318 Loss D1 04/03/2001 Fulham 1-1 Bolton Wanderers Frandsen 16,468 Draw D1 23/02/2001 Bolton Wanderers 1-4 Blackburn Rovers Ricketts 20,017 Loss D1 20/02/2001 Bolton Wanderers 2-2 Grimsby Town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
