He didn’t switch off as has been suggested by north stander in eadt. He was alive for the direct ball. But as st bounced he’s decided to cut across to nod it away. But he’s not got there in that split second. He’s then had to alter his run back to goal but can’t as he doesn’t have momentum.
Maybe he should be just running back to goal in the first place as the safest option to deal with the ball
But I think he was a tad unlucky not to head it. It was just one of those things rather than a major slip. |  |

It's a pretty bad misjudgement but not a calamitous error as some made out.
Edmundson didn't do enough either with the initial clearance and Walton needed to stand up a bit more he made it easy for the player to et a penalty in that instance.
So all round a bit of a mare by 3 of our players, primarily Woolfenden but 3 players making errors.
It happens though, thankfully it didn't cost us, generally the defence was pretty good in the game, despite two goals conceded they didn't really give Portsmouth a sniff other than with some referee assistance. |  |

Yes, Scarlett was too quick for him.
Edmundson should have done better too, nudged by Scarlett but should still have got more on that ball.
I thought Scarlett was pretty anonymous for all his build up but he was very good in that passage of play.
'Northstander' is Terry Hunt so not worth paying much attention to his opinions on anythign after his vendetta against Magilton. |  |

I thought it was a big error by Woolf in real time, but I was more sympathetic on seeing the replays later on. It came past him at waist height, so hard to deal with, and Scarlett was just too quick.
So an error, yes, but not an absolute clanger. |  |

Looking at the incident side on from section 3 in Upper SBR, the ball didn't bounce as one would expect on a dry pitch,and skidded through at a lower angle. It was this that caught Woolfy out, so I wouldn't attach any blame to him. |  | | |

From Section 1 it looked like an odd bounce as well, but hard to tell from the replays I've seen. Just one of those things. If that's all we've got to be worried about, we're in a good place. Woolfy is normally great at out-positioning an attacker. |  |

He misjudged it, an error, but it happens.
We don't need to scrutinise every players error, they happen at every level of football.
There were calls to pull Edmundson out of the side after a sloppy pass last week, v Portsmouth he was instrumental in Ladapo goal with his drive forward.
You have to stick with them, appreciate that over a sustained period of time these players have performed very well and accept that mistakes will always happen. |  | | |

That entire episode was the fault of edmundson. Had he head that first ball away the rest doesn’t happen (from memory) |  |

In real time i thought it was a foul on Edmundson but watching it back maybe a bit soft. I had not been a Woolfenden fan for a while but his form over the past 9 months has been very good so 1 error like this, he doesnt need to be hammered for. I thought the fact that Bishop hardly had a kick and wasnt able to bully our CBs highlights what a good performance it was defensively. |  | | |

And accept that they are in the team for what they can do on the ball as well as defensively - both GE and LW instrumental in our build up attacks |  |

Actually watching it again it does look like he slips which messes everything up.
Watching live it looked more of a c**k up than it actually was, so yeah, Woolfie off the hook.
Not that he was on it anyway for me, just one of those things that happens sometimes. |  | | |

Yep, it was one of ‘those’. The Portsmouth lad was quickly onto it too and deserves a little credit. |  | | |

OP: It’s all about defensive decision making and I suppose that’s all I’m trying to allude to in other threads. First rule of CB’s is don’t let the ball bounce! But as usual in here you get hunted down and ridiculed for having an opinion or view. Gone are the days where you can actually discuss things in this forum … was that ever possible I wonder ?
Probably won’t bother anymore |  |

You're welcome to 'discuss' things but bear in mind if your point is a bit daft, people are going to discuss how daft they are. [Post edited 3 Oct 2022 10:45]

I've no agenda here. Not hunting anyone down. Just expressing my own football view as you've said.
I do think wolf can be a bit too casual at times. But it's a difficult thing to be totally consistent when as a CB you have to initiate play and pass the ball out. I think we have to accept that at league one level CB will sometimes mess that up. But overall it's worth it rather than play percentage football. | |

Yep, and also see where they aggressively pick the ball up to keep us on the front foot - which is what GE did there and then played a killer ball to cut players out of it | |

your first mistake there is bothering to read anything written by 'northstander'. The EADT boys do an excellent job - 'northstander' is an anomaly and to be ignored. |  | | |

Absolutely. We can probably find examples from every match when Alan Hunter or David Linighan or Ian Atkins would just have put everything into launching the ball over the stand- giving time for the entire team to get back ro defend the throw.
But our Centre Backs are coached to prioritise ball retention and building from the back, preferably by teasing attackers enough that they are drawn onto us in a press, creating space elsewhere. | | | |

Hate the extreme reaction by people for a mistake like that, same as Edmundson against Plymouth. Mistakes are always going to happen. |  |

People re definitely getting carried away innit. They good players no doubt, but they're still(at the moment anyway) League One players. | |

One minute they're folk heroes then a mishap or two and they're on the way out the door. |  |

Yes it's all very polarising nowadays. Perhaps it was always the case and I was a bit more oblivious to it, but one bad game or mistake and so and so is sh1t, non league standard, get out of the club etc. Maybe that's a slight exaggeration but you get the point.
Footballers are humans, they c0ck up from time to time, especially at our level. On balance I think we'll find we do so less than a lot of our opposition though, we're doing well. It's thoroughly enjoyable at the moment and when all is said and done that's the litmus test isn't it, enjoyability. | |

Davis has been a revelation, I love watching him play.
As you said before he was being rubbished five minutes ago.
Fridge was so central to us last year that when he was injured we had a prominent fan and poster writing to Currys asking for a replacement.
Recently we've had some fans questioning his worthiness to the club: should he be replaced etc.
Madness I tell you. | |

This is the nature of the social media era. On Twitter, Facebook etc. if you offer an opinion you're either wrong or right. A friend or an enemy. It's all very binary with no space for shades of grey any more. Bad times. |  | | |
