I am no longer interested in seeing Gally hitting long diagonal balls.

I am no longer interested in seeing Robinson beating two men and then wasting the chance, or Barky outpacing the full back and having no one in the box. I could go on...

Let's give up 25% of the possession and get some efforts on target, which for me means two up top, with Maguire playing off Moult.

Preston will be playing 4 - 4 F%&king 2
 
Can we not make one goal a foot wider and higher, and change them round at half time when no ones looking . Hold on we will probably lose the toss or choose the wrong end .
 
Goals win games, and promotion, our goal difference is crap, and has been for several seasons. Let's go for the jugular not good having most of the possession if we can't convert it into goals.

What is the obsession with two up top as if that will make us suddenly into a free scoring attacking side. Our problem isn't creating chances it's taking them - there is nothing wrong with the system we are in the top half for a reason and if three of our 15 draws had be turned into wins then we would be level on points with the play offs. Fine margins

Isn't the poster saying he wouldn't mind seeing few more players in positions to score? Or would you rather, as your style often dictates, go in too footed and lean over the poster Keane on haaland style and tell them off?

Do you think a foot would be enough?

Hit woodwork twice on Saturday and with Browns pen against Derby but yeh your probably right maybe use the gap between the corner flags but think even a blind ref might notice that

I'm just pointing out the obvious - it's not creating chances which is the problem it's scoring them.

Barkhuizen couldn't control a dead ant.

Can’t imagine him being anywhere near the team if it wasn’t for his pace.

Like him as he’s very effective, but one of our worst players technically.

I don’t agree, he is being played week in week out on the right were he is so predictable. Play him on the left we’re he has the option to cut in and cause havoc and be support to Maguire. By far his best position and I saw him and Maguire rip Fulham apart down at Craven Cottage until both had to hobble off in the 2nd half. Fulham fans where glad to see th3 back of him and Maguire.
 
When I saw the title of this thread, I assumed it was in the wrong forum... that it should be in the News & Current Affairs section.

I've been saying for a while he should be on the left and Bodin on the right, but tucked in where he can be a goal threat, but on the other hand if some of the other midfielders had the same assist and goals record as Barkhuizen then we'd probably already be top 6.
