Why can't we kill teams off?

How can anyone like Flynn and Murphy. They along with most of the team are useless. We were playing Tranmere yesterday not Man Utd or Barcelona. It's no wonder they scored.

Hahaha.

What logic.

Any players you think are good?

Well the reason for the OP is pretty self evident. I never mentioned anything about scoring 4 or 5! It is simply a matter of momentum and how a game unfolds.

In this case side a runs into a 3-0 lead and then concedes, effectively winning by two clear goals. Now if Tranmere had scored first and we won 3-1 that feels a lot better than scoring three and they then score

arsenal led 4-0 at newcastle after 68 minutes not long back drew 4-4 , thank god your not a gooner youd have topped yourself

Arsenal are a lot more successful than Sheffield United.

It's a fair point that we rarely win by more than one goal, but on Sunday we actually did, so the timing of this post may have been better.

I think our counter attacking vs Tranmere was actually better than in years. As soon as we won the ball we looked to go forward and punish them before they could reorganise and get men behind the ball. Murphy was very good in that respect, Porter also made many runs down the channels, but the whole team looked determined to bomb forward immediately after we'd won the ball. We've really had a lot of managers who've neglected that side of football, but hopefully Clough will be the man to get it right.
