Much better positioned to play "more upfront" when Proccy is in the team as well ....... we might have to battle it out to get over the finish line in the next few weeks ? Should be safe but the sooner the next 6 points are on the board then the happier I'll be . |

In the example of York's second goal under discussion...I don't understand how can you say that Luke 'won' the heading duel when he headed the ball straight to an opponent, who then ran fully 45 yards upfield with Luke in his wake. Luke may have got his head to the ball but it went straight to an opponent as it so often does and does with Procky too. Yes, the York lad had a slight start but a player running without the ball should be able to adequately make up ground over 45 yards on a player dribbling with the ball. The final part of the movement for the goal was clever passing by the York forwards and had we finished a move like that we would be chuffed to bits and shouting 'super football'. Of course it is also about picking players who complement each other and who offer different qualities, especially so in midfield. It is good that Josh Windass is starting to get on the score sheet but I feel that he too could play more effectively if he were to try to do the simpler pass instead of trying to produce that difficult 'wonder' pass that we occasionally see from the very top players in the Premier League. When Josh gets the ball he should be thinking of only two things in my view; a) Can I shoot? (Because I do have the power and technique). Or b) I'll just get the ball to Pierro, let him do the 'setting up', and then I'll get into the box to pick up any mishaps from their defenders. I have thought that for the last two seasons we have not had enough 'shots from outside the box'. Procky scored some super goals of this type in the early part of his career with us but rarely attempts a power drive at all these days. Just a few of my thoughts on midfield tactics.....but then again I am never going to be a manager! ON STANLEY ON:jimbo: |
Re: Stanley v York.
I think we dont shoot enough when the opportunity presents itself, too often we try to walk the ball in, or pass backwards, dont matter if they miss, but law of averages to me say we will score more by doing so?:)

Our shots at goal would put us in the playoffs
Goals scored puts us in about our current league position But our goals against puts us bottom!!! FootStats - Complete UK Football Statistics Analysis - League Tables You cannot read everything from stats, but they make interesting reading |

Re: Stanley v York.
Hi Mike,
Regarding the dictionary definition you quoted of a "duel".... "combat between 2 persons". I don't think that Luke was trying to kill one of the York players. At least I hope not! I also looked up the definiton of a Duel and found this; "Duel" .... "A confrontion between two persons, groups or ideologies". Surely in the context of a football match the part of the definition that applies is the bit referring to... "confrontation between two groups" ie football teams. With the reason for entering into a 'Heading Duel' being to either; a) Win possession of the ball,.....and/or, b) Stop your opponents attacking your defenders. So clearly in the context of a football match we lost the 'Heading duel' on both counts. We could make a right 'good'pair of politicians the way we seem to be able to make 'words' mean whatever we want! Anyway, we will both be 100% behind Luke and the team, whoever is picked, for tonights important match against Newport. See you at 7.15pm. ON STANLEY ON:wave8: |
