One of the worst misses I have ever seen for us

[FMBlade1]

Take a bow Tom Cannon

Hope he is nowhere near the squad for the play-offs.

With that said nice to see him applauded off by our fans, very sporting.

Hopefully is last match and he’s released along with the bloke who signed him.

Give the lad a chance FFS.. getting on his back when he's not had any service all season

He had service for the chance the OP says

 

[nopigfansintown]

His movement in and around the box is top drawer. Almost always where he should be. The exact opposite to Brewster. Two runs first half (one narrowly offside). Three great pieces of movement in the box. I can see why he has the goal record at this level that he does. It's s bit weird to have a striker with his skill set. Very strange for us. I'd love to see him playing off a target man type. Should've scored one or two today mind.

Well take your dark glasses off. He is so shit it's unbelievable. He is worse than Brewster. That was such a crap shot. He wanted the glory of hitting into the roof of the net instead of scoring. Absolute wanker of a player.

Just shows Wilder cant buy forwards.

2 yards behind him !

 

[steve26272]

wilder needs to (prob first time ever) admit he’s got it wrong
Cannon is not good enough right now and leave him at home

In this order

Campbell
Moore
Brewster
One
Mi Nan
Connor salmon
A tin of salmon
Tommy cannon

Nah, most of the world's top strikers would miss that.

Hamer in first half

Naa, took a touch and sydie charged in and must have put him off. Has to hit target but nowhere near the worst miss

 

[Blades98]

Should have scored definitely no doubt but the pass was behind him and the keeper came out quick. Definitely not one of the worst misses I've seen for us, if anything there was a worse one in the same game earlier.

If you think that miss was so bad as to warrant this post title, I think you've lived quite the sheltered life as a Blade.

Multiple factors at play. Firstly, Cannon starts to make a move towards goal for a tap in. Immediately after, COH plays the pull back in such a manner, that it will go behind Cannon. And so, Cannon has to halt his movement instantly just to be able to reach the ball.

From there, he needs to swivel to face goal and shoot. I think he has time to do these as 2 separate actions to be fair, but he chooses to do it all at once.

Should he have hit the target? Yes. But it's laughably reductive to call it one of the worst misses, when it was anything but.

I can immediately think of 2 misses that were far, far worse:

A) Connor Sammon (So bad it doesn't need any further description);
B) Jags' rebound at Old Trafford after "that" save by Seaman. To not hit the target with that one was criminal.

If you don't like the guy, fine. That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Shouldn't let your bias towards him cloud your judgement though.

 

[Shawy24]

2 yards behind him !

It was served up to him on a plate. In front of him lots of time and at perfect height.

 

[MosboroughBlade]

Not sure it was the worst miss ever but you have to at least HIT the target from there.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Better to miss them in these games than the important ones I guess

 

[Gimli]

Of course he should score but it’s not even the worst miss today let alone ever

 

[SwissBlade]

Poor miss, but we'll need him in the next few seasons, that's for sure.

 

[Rodley]

Hopefully is last match and he’s released along with the bloke who signed him.

He was a signing pushed by the board in January.

 

[Camden Blade]

He should have scored. It was a game that didn't matter. He scored a harder chance at Burnley when it did matter at the time. This is the wrong thing to focus on at this time. We're the best team in the playoffs by far admittedly it's not a high standard. Who do we start upfront? We should win them. A lot will rest on CW's decision making.

 

[Brother-Leech]

I remember CR7 missing a worse chance in front of the Bramall lane end.

Hamer today missed one worse than Cannons anyway

Whilst most clapped him off, there was a bloke near me who stood up with his back to the pitch whilst he walked off the pitch. Maybe he was trying to protest against chairman and got the wrong ground.

 

[Wards]

It's really not anywhere close to being one of the worst misses. I'd say even Gus' chance first half was as good as this one.

He missed two sitters that day. The Cannon miss today wasn't even the worst miss in the game.

 

[Grey Blade]

2 yards behind him !

Exactly. We do it in general play. Often passing behind a player forcing them to stop in order to receive it ather than being able to run onto it and keep the movement flowing

 

[Harry's Game]

The Blackburn Keeper looked more dangerous in the opposition box than Cannon

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Just remember we had Chris Guthrie
Jostein Flo
Connor Sammon..Cannon has plenty competition for worst miss ever.

Where did you hear that.

Always great to get the opinion of someone who is elite level at everything
Tell us all how everything in life just comes easy to you and you've never had to face adversity or support anyone through it

I bet you have a six pack a supermodel missus and a sports car
Well done sir

Swiss ! Are you on illegal drugs? You are one of the sensible ones on here.

There was another example with Cannon in this game in the second half.. He peeled off near post and got a yard. The ball was played to him but behind him. He had to check and shoot from an awkward spot when his superb movement should've been rewarded with a great chance to score.
