I think the poster was agreeing that the ball was played too wide as the OP said it was hit as snail pace which is wrong.
Delivery was terrible tonight. Hardly anything went into a dangerous position and we must have had 20+ opportunities with free kicks corners and throw ins. This is where a player like Whittingham could do nothing all game but still create 2 good goal scoring opportunities in his worst game.
Didn't really help that Fulham seemed well equipped to deal with our main threat. We don't seem to be as effective at set pieces lately. I'm no Nelson super fan but he has been very good since the break apart from the Blackburn game but doesn't give you the threat Bamba and Flint does.
Also when we had Paterson on the right there was usually another target in the box.
