Baggio Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Looked pretty weak today without Faye alongside. Dean Ashton ran riot pretty much as he liked tonight. Yep, turned Edgar inside out for the goal Taylor has to take his share of the blame for the goal, he didn't even jump with Zamora for the header and let him have an easy flick on to Ashton. We're desperate for some leadership in the heart of defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar could hardly be blamed for getting turned once the ball had bounced for Ashton who then produced a nice piece of skill to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell Getting turned requires skill from the attacking player so credit goes to him if he can do it. Getting beat in the air just requires a centre half who can be dominated.

Fucking hell I'm not sure there was that much wrong with how he tried to defend it. Once Ashton won the ball from the flick on Edgar stuck a leg out anticipating the shot, Ashton didn't shoot and took an extra touch wide before turning and putting the ball across the keeper into the opposite corner, Edgar tried to block that too thinking he'd shoot for the near post from that position. I think it was a well taken goal rather than an error from Edgar, I'm not sure what else he could have done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Not disappointed that Taylor is getting a new contract. He's alright but he isn't the 'answer'. Having continuity at centre-back, even with a defender with relatively limited ability like Taylor, has reaped the rewards. Him and Faye have done well because they've been in there week in, week out. There's been talk of signing a new left-back, but if we're going to spend properly on bringing a defender in, it ought to be a centre-back. Taylor will always be a bit of a liability imo. Faye and another very good centre-back, week in, week out, could be so good for us. (Faye's a bit injury prone aswell) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar's positioning in the goal was crap, when you look at the replay you'll see that Edgar is good 5 yards behind our other 3 defenders when Zamora flicks the ball on, thus creating the 1on1 situation with Ashton.

I think it was a well taken goal rather than an error from Edgar, I'm not sure what else he could have done. He was too tight to him. Made it easy for Ashton to squirm away and get a shot in. Ironically, being closer to the attacker actually provided less restriction for him to get a shot away. But, as you say, he didn't do masses wrong and i'm not going to slate the guy for his defending there. That was purely down to inexperience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he didn't have any choice as when the long ball was played forward Ashton was on side, so he couldn't hold his line and try and play the offside incase Zamora didn't touch the ball as that would have left Ashton through unmarked.

TRon Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Edgar is an inexperienced kid who has still to fill out. In this match I would have expected Taylor to be the dominant defender who would be responsible for keeping Ashton quiet. From what I've seen so far, Taylor needs a big dominant defender to do that, while he plays the secondary role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Edgar has been part of poor reserve team all season which he captained, he is no longer that confident younger that made burst onto the scene. It doesnt help that his best chums are pissheads Carroll & Matty P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
