Our midfield-forward disconnect
« on: April 03, 2022, 07:20:16 PM »
6 more inside 50s and we get done by 5-6 goals.

Just 36% efficiency inside F50  :help to the Saints 65%.

If you continually bomb, butcher and waste chances going inside F50 then you deserve to lose. We continually cost ourselves goals and then gift goals to the opposition on the rebound which keeps them in games when we have the momentum. It was a repeat of last year. There's a massive disconnect between our midfielders and our forwards.

Hoof it up to the big fella

Sam Allardyce is in charge of forward 50 entries

That's a very good analogy.

We brought Teague in but nothing up forward has changed. We're still just bombing it in hope. Defensively we're playing like Teague's Carlton though  :P.

Wrong blokes delivering inside 50 is the problem. Parker, Ross, Graham and McIntosh  surely we want better users than these blokes delivering to our fwds.
