Over the years many strikers have suffered from not hitting the net early on in their club career, that can create fan and media pressure, followed by the players anxiety building up , we then see desperate goal attempts , from that pressure , perhaps the ' ' no crowd' situation is affording Moore an easier settling in period or one with less pressure 🤔
If Moore missed any of those chances yesterday he should never play football again.
The defending was not even league 2 standard at the set pieces
I reckon the players are loving it. Nice bit of training in the week then can concentrate on one way on the weekend without thousands of people shouting at them. Sounds idealQuote:

Moore doesn't look like that would faze him to me, he looks the part in the box and out.
I said on here when we signed him that I had a gut instinct he would be a success and expected him to get about 15 goals for us this season. There was something about his demeanour that nothing seemed to faze him as you said and so far (for club and country) he has done the business. Granted, it is very early days but for me he's ticking all the right boxes.Quote:

Imagine Eddie Johnson without crowds. 30 goals a season.....still a ledge
it wasnt about finishing them it was about being in the rigjt place and having the right movement.Quote:

If you can't see what a good striker's goal the second was, like his winner for Wales against Finland, then you haven't watched so many of our crosses across the six-yard box going to waste over the past few seasons.Quote:

He looks like a striker to me.
:ayatollah:
Nail on the head. Got to be in the positions to score them. He'll bag 15 plus, add that to our usual midfield goals and that's a great step forward.Quote:

The Moore signing excited me a lot more than when we signed Reid and Murphy. Your above summary is spot on. His attitude is first class.Quote:
