G-Man11 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Pretty much Still a decent player though, and great to watch! Probably in my top 5 Pompey players. Well he's not replacing Keogh or Cranie at CB. Unless this means we're selling Keogh or Cranie Keogh especially has been fantastic this season and is easily my favourite player, still not missed a single minute of a league game since joining in the 10-11 pre season. Which for a CB who loves to get stuck in is pretty impressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkermush Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Was it the corner routine where you pull it back across the edge of the box for someone to fire in? Seen you attempt that against us several times and on telly as well, though your striker always seems to misfire and put it wide. Yeah, we've tried it alot under Eddie Howe. I think the first time it came off was against Middlesbrough. In the past when we had Fox, somebody stood right next to Fox, Fox passed the ball to the player, he then passed it straight back to Fox who whipped it in low and hard.. somebody steps over the ball and lets it run, and Rodriguez smashes it as hard has he can. Since we sold Fox, either Wallace or Stanislas attempts the ball across the box. We also have a few other 'unusual' corner routines, that have been successful against Forest and Blackpool I think. Eddie Howe puts alot of work into the corner routines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man11 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 apparently Mogga has said Jukebox was on loan today so he doesn't play against Coventry next week, will sign afterwards Well at least he can't score against us.

G-Man11 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It looks good when we pull it off. You really should score from it more! Every time it dropped to your striker at the backpost it seemed he had to score and never did I swear we only do the one corner routine, hardly surprising we rarely score from them. Wood start at front post wheel back round the box to the back post where the ball has been hung up for him to win the header and hit the bar/have it cleared off the line/head it into the keepers arms/head it wide. We do it EVERY SINGLE time fgs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robterrace Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well and truly bossed that game against Forest. Lallana, Cork, Hammond and Morgan (Scoring ffs ) dominated. The red card is debatable. Can see why he's sent off but it's a little harsh. Winning away ftw!! Lallana and Cork impressed greatly for me, although, what the hell happened with the open goal miss in the last minute?? Thought Camp had a good game despite conceding 3 goals, and judging by the texts I got shortly after the incident, the sending off was a bit harsh.

MIR17 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yet another game where we are dreadful and Kasper is the only thing stopping us from getting hammered. This side is as bad as the Levein era, the only difference is we were skint back then, so it was understandable, whereas now we've spent millions to assemble utter mediocrity.

We do it EVERY SINGLE time fgs Under Owen Coyle we rarely scored from corners, I know in our Premier League season we went all season without scoring a single goal from a corner. There was actually chants in the end, everytime we got a corner 'score from corner, we're gonna score from a corner, score from a corner' We scored the odd ones under Laws last season in the Championship, but like you, the corners were always the same, aimed towards the centre where either Bikey/Amougou or Iwelumo headed them in. Since Howe as come in, we have much more variety/invention to our corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkermush Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 SC teams never do score many goals, but normally they don't concede many either. I've said it a few times in this thread before, the style of Football under him at Burnley was like watching paint dry. He'd rather kill the game, take a point or hope to nick the win. The main aim under SC is just to kill the game, and not get beat. Don't ever expect to see regular entertaining free flowing football under Cotterill, I didn't think he would take you down, and I still think he will keep you up. But with most other clubs, he's come in at the start of the season, and had the chance to bring in his own players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he'd be defensive, but not this defensive [/quote']i am seriously beginning to think cotterill was appointed as a favour for a mate by frank clark. everything about his appointment is baffling. we are an omni-shambles. he doesn't push any players to attack. he plays with two static defensive midfielders. every ball goes back to lee camp to hoof. we barely ever create chances and it has been getting worse and worse and worse...

The first day on the job, he lined everyone up and said "Right Lads I want you to throw it as far as you can." Then he gets his guy who can throw (Halford) and then has ONE person stand in the box, and hope to get it on his head.. Nobody anywhere near this guy, nobody attacking the ball just one guy stood there.. Horrendous, we scored a couple tbf, but generally not because they worked well, because we got a lucky flick.

cms186 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 the thing that confused and annoyed me the most about today was the fact that in the last two games, we've played a 4-2-3-1, looked decent, created plenty of chances and scored 3 goals ( ok they were all against ipswich, but still ) and only conceded the 1 goal, McGugan was being played in his best position and reid has played well, so despite all that, he goes back to a 4-4-2, puts lewis back on the left wing and drops reidy completely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
