Our players cannot shoot hard and low even when placed so close to the goal. Always skying their shots. Might as well play in the NFL and score through the upright.
I really hope we find a way to win this. Cardiff look so awful and losing or drawing with them would just sap our confidence and would be another missed opportunity in another winnable game.
The problem with our players is when we are moving forward, we seem to dawdle in midfield and pass sideways or backwards and let the other team get set up again at the back. I'd like for us to make a quick thrust forward when there is an opportunity to do so.
Think Simms need to come on. He's much better at headers than Bassette and should be able to get a goal here. Would do a world of good for his confidence.
Smart move on his part to wait to take over after those tough games. But if we cannot beat Cardiff (who really suck) and suppose we lose, the Lampard-bashers will be out in full force.
