God you are clueless
God you are cluelessIn a wingback or attacking fullback system you expect your CB to come across. Thomas always does this on the right Kitching never does on the left.

It's a difficult one with Wright. I agree with all that you've said above and I thought he looked more of a threat than he has for months, but then he missed the target from 3 yards with that header and lost his marker for the goal.Thought Wright did ok to be honest. Certainly not the lower scores being given above.
He was a great save and a lucky offside away from bagging a brace. His touch was decent and looked to be finding space behind.
Haji shouldnt be in the box defending at that point against 10 men , and really not against their striker
Just my thought
Bobby in attack: 9
Bobby at the back: 6
The left centre back needs to come and engage the crosser while Da Silva marks the space in the box, good oneSo you keep saying. Never any substance tho so I’ll keep ignoring.

Certainly Naive it's a bit different playing at home in control,and seeing out the last twenty minutes rolling the Ball around, always infuriates me anyway enough to leave the ground!I think we were pants tbh
I think I have seen it TBF, not sure how often though,of course IIn a wingback or attacking fullback system you expect your CB to come across. Thomas always does this on the right Kitching never does on the left.
Do you think the wind may have had a part, I don't know which way it was blowing but it was fairly strong ,and the pitch made keeping it low a bit difficult?The team kept laying off to Grimes to pump a looping ball into the far post from the left but he was overhitting the crosses.
Saka kept making space to get his crosses in but they were generally low and flat and intercepted by the defenders.
EMC proved quite dangerous on the left.
Was the Preston defender opposite DaSilva slow or something, in the 1st half Rushworth tried a throw past him for DaSilva to chase & I thought no chance DaSilva is one if not the of the slowest in our team but by heck he nearly broke free there.
I thought KKH was OK and looked a threat on the edge of the box but the dynamic between him & Saka isn't there like it is with Saka & MVE.

The pitch really didn't help with crossing, every lay off seemed to bobble up. The pitch is probably quite heavy underfoot as well which doesn't help aside from the bobbles.
It's hard to believe their pitch is in such a bad state not even half way through the season, it was as bad as any pitch I've seen in recent years even down to L2 level.
Agree with most of that but not the Dasilva part. Until the back end of last season I thought he was a weak link and opposition targeted him over the top or balls in the air, but never seen him as a slouch and always thought he was reasonably quick. Not as quick as MVE on the other side of course, nowhere near but not slow either.The team kept laying off to Grimes to pump a looping ball into the far post from the left but he was overhitting the crosses.

I wouldn't blame the pitch, I've seen Rudoni do similar at the CBS. He just messed it up.There was one pass from rudoni to saka { i think } towards the end of the game that looked simple but ended up going out for a goal kick , pitch was poor

It was obviously the pitch in this case to be fair to him, though I think he delayed the pass a bit too long anywayI wouldn't blame the pitch, I've seen Rudoni do similar at the CBS. He just messed it up.
I think we were expecting them to try and cross from deep there, they had two strikers on at that point, had five players in the box. Can understand why Haji was back.It isn't just your thoughts, it's mine too, tactical error by Frank Lampard and his coaching staff, if we clear the ball there's no one to counter attack plus it means they have to leave one or two men back to defend in case of a breakaway.
The goal was down to expecting a long throw but them going short instead and then our left hand side not bothering to track or make a tackle.I think we were expecting them to try and cross from deep there, they had two strikers on at that point, had five players in the box.

0.85714285714All 6/7 for me…
I saw it quite close up and basically he over hit it and got the angle wrong, he was quite displeased with himself.It was obviously the pitch in this case to be fair to him, though I think he delayed the pass a bit too long anyway
Rudoni was marking the guy who crossed for the goal running along side him. JDS came over as back up and the cross came over. Think that was really their only decent chance.That’s just the way he plays. It’s not tiredness.
