And then imo Cousins does more defensively. Lock down showed that we didn’t miss Allen in the slightest when he came in the side. Absolutely nowt changed. If anything there was more protection for the back 4. Allen should only really be considered instead of Clucas imo. And there’s just no benefit of that. I would disagree there. Before lock down Allen was the best player in a system which was beginning to work and get results. I am no Allen supporter but after lock down it took three matches and a change of formation to get going again. I am sure that there will be a place in the team for Allen and I suspect one of the centre halves will make way with Powell pushing further forward or wider. The manager fucked the first 3 matches after lockdown up and did things that he shouldn’t have done that I said he shouldn’t have done at the time. Putting Clucas in by a holder solved that as predicted. It really wasn’t rocket science. Playing Powell wide is negative bollocks too. |

Just seen Rowett's comments. Anyone would think his sides played like Bayern Munich...

Don't worry BC are in town on Sunday and we haven't kept a league clean sheet in yonks.

Presumably all of them. Otherwise they would have been goals. I presume unless it was a world class save you don't deem it to be worth the title of 'shot on target' or 'chance'? You can play semantics all day long but the fact is we haven't genuinely worked the goal keeper in 180 minutes of competitive action so far this season. We were crap against Blackpool and OK on Saturday but it's still a massive area of concern. Is it bollocks a massive area of concern don't exaggerate. We've played two competitive games and not clicked up top. If it's still like this after 10 games then you'd be justified in saying it's an area of concern. |

Exactly the point I was making at the outset of this thread, LG. Two games is not long enough to claim a serious trend of any sort, never mind condemn us as ‘scoreless’ like it’s some kind of curse. |

Mate I didn't watch it but the stats say 4 shots on target so technically if the keeper didn't save them we would have scored 4. That's all I'm saying. I'm not commenting on the quality of the chances, which seems to matter to some.
Some goals aren't the best quality but still count massively. Oulare's arse springs to mind. Why wouldn't it matter? I explained my thought process in the final two sentences. Or at least I thought I had. |

As much as I dislike the xG metric because it's used as data yet is based on opinion, it does try and separate the quality of a chance created and the goals scored. You can't commend a pea roller from 30 yards (like Powell's shot) because a goalkeeper has once fumbled one into their own net before etc but that seems to be the logic you're taking when you say some goals aren't high quality. |

Not working the goalkeeper once in two games against teams with a fraction of our budget isn't an area of concern? Okie dokie. |

But I’m not Soiling my Shorts over it just yet. it’s not the ‘massive concern’ you said it was. As you appear to have conceded by reducing it to the much more reasonable ‘area of concern‘ in Your last post. |

The idea that any of Powell clucas or mmmike will play Every game is idealistic at best I’d expect all three plus Joe to play 25 games over the next 7 months
