Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 The first goal we concede seems to have massive implications on our mindset for the rest of the game. We all know that the first goal shapes the course of the game, very often leading to the team who go one up playing a more counter-attack style and the opposition having to push for the equaliser. However my point is that we are having absolutely no luck whatsoever. You would expect to concede one humdinger 3-4 times a season against you, however these all seem to have happened in the last month or so. Reading - Kitson - screamer top corner Portsmouth - Pamarot - 30yd screamer, weaker foot, once in a blue moon, top corner Liverpool - Gerrard - Screamer after a bad touch Blackburn- Bentley - Probably free kick of the season so far I am not trying to make excuses for Big Sam, but the run of goals we are conceding are uncannily top draw (barring Kuyts). As a club we are down in all areas at the moment and really at our lowest ebb, when these things happen, however, things even themselves out over the course of a season Hopefully :angel7: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think wonder goals can be attributed to a goalkeepers achilles heal, i think it is just one of those things at the moment.

ohmelads Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 You're looking for excuses to be honest. Reading and Liverpool had us under the cosh and they were getting so much of the ball around our area that it was inevitable someone was going to get time, space and sight of goal. Both sides will rightly say the scoreline flattered us, so we can hardly point to bad luck. Those goals may have changed the game but then goals generally do, and we couldn't say they weren't coming.

Guest Ridzuan Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 At the end of the season when the list for goal of the season goes up,Im sure will be featured very much.Anyway,the first goal in every game is always important for both teams whether it is a fantastic goal or not.I dont know why but we seem to be conceding great goals in every game.In the games like Reading and Portsmouth,we only went on to play better football when we concede the first goal but I think in the last couple of games,we performed well from the start of the match and hopefully it will be the same case this Saturday.

Guest Steven_MB Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Great goals happen when defenders give great players time and space, presssuring the Elano's, Gerrards and Lampards or the league is essential. I don't understand it though, at bolton his players pressured opposition loads, never giving them a moment to think! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main concern with Given is the amount of times he comes running out and then gets caught out by someone having a go from range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
