Their winning goal, my god, once again just a hit and hope 60 yard aerial ball up the middle of the park that Woolfenden somehow manages to completely screw up and let's them in to score, appalling defending. |  |

Just saw highlights on 22:53 - Feb 8 by BarcaBlue | That's what I mean by nonsense. Your previous post was saying Hirst or Broadhead should have played in place of Ladapo but neither of those are the pacy forwards you later talk about. Jackson is a pacy forward but wouldn't have had any space to run into. Makes no sense at all. |
No, I see you’re right now, Hirst and Broadhead are both slow (certainly slower than Ladapo) play in exactly the same way as Ladapo and nobody else (not even the stunningly effective Jackson) would have had any space to run into, spot on. Goodnight, lol. |  |

Just saw highlights on 22:52 - Feb 8 by Herbivore | So these pacey forwards are running in behind defences that are sat very deep? Are they making their runs into the terraces? |
We get it, given the choice between defenders comfortably holding a line outside the area, with no threat of a forward getting in behind them, or having a quick forward getting in behind, pulling them out of shape, dragging them towards their own goal and thus creating holes for advanced midfielders, or inside forwards, you’d play the hold up man in front of the defence and end up playing passes sideways 800 times a match between CB’s getting nowhere. I wonder why the second half performance v Cambridge was so different from the first? For that matter, I wonder why we seem to have looked a lot more threatening in the second half against a lot of the teams that are happy to let us have the ball, hmmm, think on that and see what you come up with.

Harness was less against Barnsley and given against us ..... |  | |  |

Cambridge's defensive line was rarely outside their area. There was virtually no room in behind for the kind of runs you think we should have been making. Also, you say that playing Ladapo means sides can push their defence up and congest the midfield to stop us playing, then the next minute you say these sides are happy to let us have the ball. So these sides are sitting deep and your solution is to play a pacey forward to run into the non existent space in behind to push them further back (you also claim we struggle against sides that sit deep by the way), and all the while these sides are simultaneously pushing up to stop us playing whilst letting us have the ball. You are, frankly, all over the shop. [Post edited 9 Feb 2023 6:43]
