Re: Daggers game
Seeing it again, the first two goals looked even worse than yesterday.
As F19 noted, as well as the entire defence being fooled into rushing towards the near post, poor wee Maguire was then pushed out of the way by Davies. Even if he could, Maguire was then in no position to challenge for the far post ball. And neither was Davies, who might have been able to punch the ball if he'd not been concentrating on pushing his own player.
And with the second, notwithstanding the 38 year old Cureton outpacing the chasing defender, Davies first came almost to the edge of his box but then retreated. However, Cureton didn't get to the ball until it was inside the box. If Davies had kept coming, he should either have been able to boot the ball clear just beyond the box or dive on it the second it crossed into the penalty area.
Davies had no chance with the third and fourth goal, and he was in no way responsible for the poor performance from the outfield players, but those first two goals were symptomatic of Stanley's goalkeeping woes this season.
