As i said, with the signing of Hanson, we'd be resorting to lumping it up field all the time. #neverwrong

Great goal. The first 15 passes got us to this position:




I.e. our furthest man back with 20 players in front of him. From then on it took three forward passes before the ball was in the net.


I like our movement - opposite movements - in this attack. Here our two strikers are coming short and either side of Fleck, while Carruthers is running forward into a pocket of space centrally. This creates confusion among their players:



Carruthers has to hold the ball up, but a couple of seconds later, both Lavery and Hanson have moved beyond him. Lavery can run at the last defender, gets past him and finishes well:

Cheers. Enjoyed the goal, and enjoyed your analysis.

 

[Coolblade]

Thanks Bergen - although in some ways I thought this was our least impressive goal, as Wimbledon had effectively given up. The lack of pressure on Fleck as he stands in their half pondering who to pass to is very poor - but as you say a good run from Carruthers, and neat play by Lavery to finish. For me the second goal stood out from a footballing perspective - from the Fleck tackle, Duffy dribble, Freeman run/pullback, and Hanson movement and finish.

Bergen I like these very much as I'm sure the rest of the lads do too. Be great if you can do more of these thanks pal

 

[Iceybabey]

Wilder did mention that once the third goal went in, our swagger came back and thats whats been missing since the Southend game.

 

[ben1987]

Lavery finished it off very nicely. At first I thought he was going to swing the left leg at it and fluff it across the keeper. He showed great composure to come inside and place it in the right bag

Think Bergen and Roy ought to form a partnership, roybergs Inc, :-D

 

[Sothall_Blade]

The 1st and 3rd goals are vintage "Hoof ball" GERRITINBOX, GERRITUPFIELD type goals (with a good Fleck finish)
The 2nd and 4th goals are vintage "Pass ball" PASSANDMOVE, THERIGHTWAY type goals (with two good finishes).

Strange that we seem to able to score different types of goals in the same match like all teams do.
I thought it had to be either one way or the other?

Agree with 3 of the 4. A bit harsh on Fleck's skill to class it as hoofball for the third goal.

Personally Scarlet I don't give a dam, as long as they count ..........

I agree but I did say it was "Hoof Ball" with a good Fleck finish.
I saw plenty of skill from Deane, Agana, Hodges, Roberts, Wood, Carr, Kabba, Webber, Ifill etc but it didn't stop that being classed as "Hoof Ball".
Everything has to be categorised you see. No grey areas

Oh Bergen, I knew a man with a picture of Egil Olsen as his avatar would quote the 3 passes rule at me over this and you didn't disappoint

The advantage of holding onto the ball for minutes at a time is that if we control the ball like this then the opposition can't hurt us.

I also think that the opposition get worn down by their inability to get the ball and lose concentration leading to spaces that we eventually exploit. Just my opinion though.

2nd goal was a great goal as well, agreed.

 

[Sheff de party]

One of the most pleasing things about the 4th is he knows exactly what he's going to do with it before he gets to the ball. I know it was already 3-0 and late on, but he also makes it look very very easy.

He's got a lot of potential, though faces a battle for his place.

Agree with all that. While the 3 passes rule can be a help in highlighting the need for directness, pace and movement in situation where you can punish the opposition, it should by no means be used as an argument to restrict oneself to one particular type of attack. We need a varied approach with lots of threats, lots of weapons, and Wilder has made sure we've got that this season.

There has been a few times this season, even after we started winning, where things have gone a bit stale, we've become a bit predictable and somehow struggled to score. My feeling's been that we've momentarily lost emphasis on certain key aspects about our game and believed we'd be able to score "perfect goals" (multiple passes) every time. But when Wilder has realised the problem, and got at least a full working week to get the players to refocus, we have responded really well:

Mini-blip and response 1:



Mini-blip and response 2:



Mini-blip and response 3:


I don't think we're going to waltz through the rest of the season. There may be more mini-blips ahead, and players may still need to be reminded of the hard work, focus and attention to detail required to achieve what we want. The above shows that we've got the right guy to address such situations though.

There's one common denominator in all three "mini-blips"...let's hope we've no more games against anyone called Walsall this season.

Or next..

All 10 outfield players got a touch in that move and we can't say they opposition had given up this time either

Yet another example, as i rightly predicted, that we'd end up going long ball with Hanson in the team...

Absolutely. We are a proper pass and move football team. The astonishing thing is that some don't like that and actively pretend otherwise.

There is no 'three pass' rule by the way. It's a fallacy. The sort of nonsense promulgated by Charles Hughes and the rest of the Anti-Football Brigade.

There will be an indignant response from the Hoofers now, advocating the delightful 'One Launch' method.

I felt that the goal came from Wright's calmness on the ball.
As he holds it up, the entire Wimbledon team are moving up with the 2 forwards getting across to our fullbacks.
Wright simply waits and passes it 10 yds to Fleck who has just made himself available.
His long pass then has Wimbledon backtracking and the rest, as they say, is history
