Why aren’t we scoring them

Campbell had his best season last year with ten.

The recruitment in the summer was absolutely shocking

Get bodies in box and shoot on sight..no risk..no reward

When you look at Burrows penalty, the keeper is basically telling him to go the keepers left, with where he is stood on the line and as a left footer Burrows should be able to smash that or even a weak effort drive in into the corner on the keepers weaker side. Both the penalties he scored for us last season (Swansea & Norwich) he went the same way as today but with more pace. I don’t know if he scuffed it or put off with the keepers positioning he was trying to get it more central as it wasn’t exactly tucked in the corner

It was just a. Piss poor effort from a piss poor player

Add to that more crosses and first time crosses.

We are so easy to defend against pack box against 1 striker (who's not a target man) & possibly 1 midfielder trying to break into box, let us have the ball dither about force us (allow us) to play it out wide knowing full well we wont cross the ball.

We are far to slow in build up and opt to recycle. Its quite clear that with the plsyers we have and strikers available. 4231 formation just doesnt work, it didnt work last year for our attacking output. We was well comfortably mid table on attacking stats, we just outperform our xg and kept the ball out other end.

Not sure why any of the coaching staff cant see this. Yet us "PlayStation managers" can.

We got the recruitment all wring akin that to a league one side. We didnt improve on any areas, and havnt addressed the lack of pace and athleticism is the squad.

And dont tell me ogbene is a speedboat as I could walk faster (clearly lost a yard or 2 since his injuries).

All leeds did last season is get ball forward fast and break with speed elwith playing dibbling direct for 90 mins, crosses into box and bodies committed forward.

After 9 games Cov have scored 27, United have scored 3.
Goal difference +20 to -13.
Just what is going on?
Utter shambles.

My grandad would have been able to see where that penalty was going. It was obvious.

If you watch players that take penalties properly they look as though they about to hit it to one side but it goes to the other.

Not us though. Let’s make it as obvious as possible!

Get Rhino back

We are struggling to score from open play. We need to create more from set pieces.

We wasted about 5 years of Jack Robinson long throws. Keith Andrews I understand was our set piece coach, twice this season I've seen Brentford score and almost score from 2 long thow-ins. What the hell was he doing at the Lane every week?

Start of the second half on Tuesday I couldn't believe the clever set piece play between Hamer and COH. The latter should have scored but it looked as though some type of work had taken place midweek.

I've criticised Jack Lester before now due to the fact strikers seem to arrive at the club and then seem to go on strike. He's left the club now and we still in the same predicament.

We've two weeks break now to get things sorted.

His confidence is shot.

Anyone think he was going to convert that penalty?

It looked like he was seeing a tiny goal with a massive goalie filling it.

Goals, where are you? Let's be having you.

Sigh, if only Nigella was a Blade....

I do think the goals will come, these players need confidence and I hope Chris can give it to them in the international break. With hindsight it was a poor decision not sacking Selles at the last international break.
