If we could improve one thing from Saturday

[Punk Blade]

I’d love to see us finish off some of these free flowing one touch passing moves in open play. Norwood hit the post, Sharp and McGoldrick both denied from close range, and all three deserved a goal.

This is not intended as a nitpicking thread, more an acknowledgement that our better play still isn’t quite getting all the rewards it deserves, and if we find a balance between the dead ball delivery and punishing of sloppy defending we saw on Saturday AND passing our way over the line then there are a lot more goals to be scored.

Get the prices down. A pint and a pie....£7.80p.

We've just scored seven goals in our last two games. The move that Fleck finished off against Bolton was immense, Billy's finish on Saturday was as natural as they come.

I do agree that we can be very wasteful, even early last season we didn't score as many as we should have in a lot of matches, but these last few games have been very encouraging.

It’s nit-picking. Sorry, but every side misses good chances.

Goals are coming from the whole team and in a variety of ways. This I find most encouraging.

I’m not sure the Fleck goal was quite what people are making out though. Two of the 16 passes were Egan lobbing it down the right channel for Billy to fight (very well) for to retain possession. Good stuff though. The move opening up for Norwood to hit the post was far slicker.

Because they can

It’s nitpicking if it’s criticism, which it isn’t. The goals on Saturday look like a pub team defending and a good side taking advantage. I want the players to get more plaudits for scoring those other three with some of the best football in the league.

That move was worthy of a lot. I suspect there was a lot of loin stirring going on as a result. Had we scored...

The OP made it clear he wasn't not picking and wanrted to be constructive.

You may want to look that last word up in a dictionary .

It’s clearly criticism, whether or not you intended it to be. We’ve won 4-1 and you’re complaining that we scored the goals in the ‘wrong way’.

I've made lots of constructive posts, and made lots of posts praising Wilder and the players.
Wilder is excellent and is getting the best out of our average players, and the players deserve credit for their last four performances

 

[I should coco]

BushBlade , you are correct to pull me up and thanks.

Apparently he's made loads of constructive posts but I've never seen any, nor has he ever directed me to the 'many anti-Wednesday' posts he's claimed to make.

WUM time waster and I will follow my own advice.

Their keeper wasn't great but he did his job well enough in these instances. Wonder what the xG was for them? ( )

It's a real shame McG didn't beat the keeper with that close range effort, because the build up was absolutely spectacular. Free flowing, fast and incisive.
We look a class above when we play like that.

Because dogs don't fall off window ledges and furniture enough

We should have kept a Clean Sheet and the goal conceded was from the defence falling asleep again, too many goals like that cost us last season

 

[tomtheblade]

The turnaround in goals already this season has been incredible:

games 1/2: F1 A5
games 3/4: F4 A2
games 5/6: F7 A1

What's satisfying about us right now is that we have a cutting edge where we punish mistakes quite clinically.

2nd half of last season we huffed and puffed so much *trying* to score, now we gobble up most chances. I do agree it would be nice to finish off more of the flowing moves, as we did at Bolton, but we will. Just be patient.

I agree there, but I did think their throw in which led to the goal was a foul throw

Rightly so

Agree entirely .

For me , that was the only negative aspect of the entire performance . On this occasion it didn't cost us but in other situations it will , just as it did last year .

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We were simply sublime on Saturday, but don’t you just know all the inquests will be about Villas failings. I’m I asking too much for a bit of credit........or is it a good thing we don’t get it?

I’ve made no complaint or criticism, nor said there was anything ‘wrong’ with the goals we did score. I’ve complimented the players for some fine passing moves and expressed a desire to see their hard work and talent rewarded more directly with goals from these situations, so that they get the plaudits and acclaim they deserve.

I even mentioned that seeing the variety of ways that we are finding the net is highly encouraging. Duffy and Norwood were ruthless in pouncing on the opportunities as they were presented to them, a lack of which we’ve lamented in the past.

You’re looking for some negativity that simply isn’t there.

I said that as well and received the usual pelters

 

[Gin&Juice]

They didn’t deserve to score. It deserved a clean sheet and a 6-0 rout. Only McGinn and El Ghazi looked bothered for them. 15 million Kodija walked around like he had his headphones in.
