Thought he was excellent tonight.Originally Posted by WJ99mobile
Huddersfield hardly opened us up.
24 shots to 8 (16 in the first half)
6 to 3 on target tells a story.
We were clearly the better side for most of the game but our finishing was woeful
The late winner doesn't disguise the fact that our style of football is of a bygone age and that the standard of passing in the team is absolutely woeful. Hoofing the ball up front is the preferred option for our keeper and defenders. And our finishing is not exactly impressive either.
The paradox of that is for all their sharp, quick passing Huddersfield created less than 25% of the chances we created. There was a moment in the 1st half when they strung about 25 passes together only to finish with an aimless punt into our keeper's arms. Yes, our football is direct but for every side that passes well and succeeds there are 3 or 4 that don't..
Didn't think we hoofed as much last night. From the keeper we aren't going to play it out and that's fine by me as we don't really have the squad for it. It's a balance though, Huddersfield persisted with trying it and got caught so many times. Actually made me annoyed and pleased to see them keep doing it. Huddersfield fans must have been so pissed off with it.
5 yard pass to cb, pass back to keeper, closed down so hoofs it to half way where we win it. For what? All under the misguided thought process that they are playing out from the back.
They would have been better off hoofing it more and using some of the pace they did have by being more direct.
