Mantra Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Somebody said that all the Cambridge players look round at the ref after the tackle, body language of a couple of them is a bit of a giveaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 2, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2022 The linesman doesn't flag. So either he didn't think it was (needs an eyecheck) or did, but was wanting for the ref to make the decision (not doing his job properly). If the ref put the whistle to his lips, then maybe he was looking at the lino for confirmation? Whatever the case, it's a shocking decision. Again.

They’re all the same, frightened to death of making big decisions. That no. 4 should have been off for two yellows but he didn’t even get one. As stated earlier, Rico should have been booked too.

bwfc2003 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 If it wasnt a penalty surely it has to be a booking for Fozzy Bear, as he must have dived !!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Cherry Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Finally spoke to a Sunlun fan today who actually said we were a very good team. He was sat behind the goal and was very impressed with the second goal with Dapo starting & finishing & Keirans sexy flick!. Said if that had been scored by Man U they'd still be showing it on Sky. Good man he also fancies us for sneaking the play offs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanu Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Cambridge are decent away aswell, they shocked the toon at St James's & stuffed Cheltenham 5-0 away in the past few weeks so last night was very comfortable in how we dealt with them for the most part in the grand scemes of things. I thought we'd struggle at breaking them down but we cut through them with ease at times, the tempo of our passing has improved ten fold!

Possession base football worked well last season but it took IE a few months to realise we're not Man City and it doesn't work that well in L1. Trafford. He might be the answer to our keeper issues but the Im not convinced by the lad yet. Needs more of a Gilks mouth on him. Still, can't argue with his clean sheets. The ones in front of him deserve credit too. Agree with both of those points, its a breath of fresh air to see possession football AT PACE, not tippy-tappy, its all with purpose, there were few if any passing moves that didn't result in us getting further up the pitch quickly, chalk and cheese to a month ago. And on Trafford, really difficult to judge him, hardly anything to do in 4 games, but more minuses than pluses last night - that bizarre punch instead of catching it that immediately put us under pressure resulting in a corner; the one that hit the post, hardly reacted, where was the dive to tip it round the post? But no major clangers in 4 games, so he's ahead of the curve. And if we keep playing like this I'd have Crellin in the nets for all he'd be needed.

There is no point explaining it to people because if it needs explaining they will never understand. The fact we are looking to build in a sensible sustainable way with decent owners makes it all the better. Well said, couldn't agree more.

Johnnyrotten Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The 2nd goal last night, as much as it was a cock up by the Cambridge lad (who looked a really good player other than that), doesn't happen without Charles not going back to defend. I'll never understand the tactic of bringing everyone back to defend corners, and that goal was exactly why. Not only did we score but even without the cock up they had to turn back and not get a free hit and pumping it back into the box. Pleased for Bakayoko, but at the time I thought "he can't miss", having seen the goal cam I've realised he nearly did! Would have got a bit of stick if keeper had kept that out. Its just great to have 2 up front, to have bodies in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 By the way further to the discussion pre match about kick off times. The M62 was down to one lane in 3 separate stretches, the roadworks are extended late at night and sure if we kicked off at 19:30 would be much more Iikely to miss them. They are usually just being set up , so maybe they start at 10 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand the tactic of bringing everyone back to defend corners, and that goal was exactly why. Agree utterly. I know the tacticians have "done the Maths" but if a player stays up the defence needs 2, possibly 3 players staying back. It's obviously nice if a goal is scored but what actually definitely happens is that a cleared ball does not necessarily come pinging straight back in, unchallenged. It rushes defenders. It makes "the second ball" less obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Once Fossey has burned the full back a couple of times early doors, they should leave him upfield when we defend corners. Teams won't like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player that lad. I’ve been trying to think who he reminds me off - good call. Like Ross Barkley he’s always looking up in front of him to see if firstly he can make a forward pass.

Ani Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The first goal last night summed up how different we are compared to a few weeks ago. The ball is initially cleared but win 3 or 4 balls by players attacking the ball. We went about a month before Xmas where players did not win any second phase ball.
