League one forever Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 12 minutes ago, BP1960 said: In Fondop's defence a defender got back quickly to his left restricting his options to the right and the keeper came out well to save his effort. Yes Haaland might have scored it, but he's not in his class of course. I'd also credit Fondop with making the chance for himself by catching the defender in possession then racing away - and for all Norwoods finishing ability he wouldn't have done that. What I'd do with Fondop is intensive composure training as he tends to rush his finishing. That’s like saying a keeper made a good save just before he let in the howler. The previous good work becomes moot if the end result is a goal or a blatant missed chance. I like Mikey, I’ve said many times what his attributes are, (they lead to the chance as you say) but he’s been a pro for a long time BP and never been prolific - because he isn’t composed or calm. He’s instinctive player who the minute he has to think - fluffs his lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 5 hours ago, JoeP said: I dunno. We could've ended up losing some of the draws we had. The Gateshead game is the one I know least about because I didn't go and haven't seen highlights - sounds like we missed sitters in the second-half, but could we have been more than one down at half-time? Fylde at home we missed chances, but so did they. They missed a one on one to win it almost identical to Fondop's on Saturday. Alty as well, after Fondop's one on one they went through and put it wide. Fylde and certainly Alty were fair draws. I don't think you can mark chances missed as us being unfortunate, when it the opposition are doing similar. They were but if we have any real ambition of getting out of this league, these games should have been put to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes. There's been undeniable improvement. Enough to get excited about? I'm not so sure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped that the ??? would have been Stones… A thought… Will Khan be on international duty this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I don’t think the psychological gems learned in intensive composure training, is going to help him much. You may do better explaining about the sweet-spot of a football, and the best way to strike it is to watch the path of the football longer. The same concept as watching the ball all the way onto your bat or racquet. (Ducks down in anticipation of all the experts replies.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradKnowles1 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Watched mellons interview again from Saturday he can’t moan at Mike Fondop missing chances. He resigned him and not signed a striker when he knew garner and Norwood were injured form the start of pre season. Fondop is a limited player he’s going to miss more than he scores. If we aren’t going to replace him then expect more chances to be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood will probably be playing full or nearly full games from now on and Garner can't be far from the bench. Maybe the plan now is to see how those 2 get on until January then sign someone for the rest of the seaon if we're still short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
