ChippenhamRed Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We are thoroughly on top here. Had the better of the game by far. Two corners, we switch off, two goals. Just no final product in the area on the attack despite a lot of good play, especially from Reid. Did we switch off, or was it two exceptionally good corners and two good finishes? Conceding goal is not always about what the defending team did wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 For all those that are saying Kodjia can't finish obviously aren't here, he's looking very impressive and showing some neat first touches to spin and run at players. He's just had Heaton on top form and some good defending. Linked up well with Reid who got better as game went along. Nice early goal and we're back in it as they don't have much at all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 This is the most frustrating game and it's Leeds all over again. Absolutely all over them going forwards, playing some fantastic football and making chances. Kodjia has been immense. Two goals conceded from two corners - Burnley's only proper chances. Really need to buck up defensively. With a bit more luck Flint and Kodjia could have two each already. COYR. Goals left in this game.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Played well today. Loss of concentration at two corners cost us. Burnley were pretty rubbish offensively but very well organised.

internetjef Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Our team may be suited to the system, but the system or the players are not good enough playing this system at this level. Defensively we are vulnerable and not organised, and when we attack we leave ourselves wide open. On the break we move the ball well but there is no final 3rd product, whether it be the ball to the strikers or the strikers attempts. 7/8 of our current team are good enough, sadly 3/4 are not and unless we are prepared to pay the wages required, this will be a long season. Our options on the bench are also poor, as realistically none of our bench is good enough for this division. no argument about lack of bench options I just think couple of quality additions needed but stick with the formation we have players we have suit it, understand it, plus we have been well in every game this season (bar Sheff Wednesday maybe) I reckon if we ditch the formation we are comfortable with and have no doubt trained pre season for then the wheels will come off A plan b would be good though for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Losing by the odd goal to Burnley does not in itself a meltdown make, or really should not. One point from three home games is not however clever, especially when we arguably at times 'battered' all the other sides. Not really the formation issue last two games. We are sounding like one of those lower league sides, who have a good go against a higher league side, seem to be creating all the chances, then bang, they are a goal down, either through a touch of class, or an error. All the fans then go home scratching their heads - but that is kind of what makes them a higher league side! No panic, just concerned right now. Mood music at the club all seems off key at the moment as well. Just need somebody to revive the thread from a few years back about 'we are going to hammer somebody 5-0 soon'. Worried.

Aizoon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Horace still curled up in a ball - wouldn't even come out for consolation goal so I'll comment. Burnley put nine behind the ball first half and scored two from corners. They came out a bit in the second (God knows why) and we had a few chances. ONLY plus is that the Codger scored, which will be good for his confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps: somebody on post on corners? Yep, every team I ever played for - from school to good levels of local football - we always had a player on each post at corners. It's a very simple defensive discipline and it amazes me how many pro teams concede goals from corners and free kicks that simply wouldn't have gone in if they defended their posts.
