The Ritchie miss

Post by JohnDearyMe » Mon Nov 26, 2018 11:40 pm

Has there ever been a worse miss than that on the Turf? It must be up there. He actually did really well to manage to put it wide

Vokes' header at the end was as bad.

Was it josulu that hit the post clean through? That's a bad miss too.. Hitting the post doesn't make it any less so..

If he’s as high off the ground as he can get and the ball hits the top of his head that doesn’t make it a bad miss.

Has there ever been a worse bit of defending on the Turf? Why did Taylor allow Yedlin to run past him so easily in our own six-yard box? Why didn’t Lowton make a challenge on Ritchie?

I'll never forget Gifton Noel-Williams smashing a penalty into row z of the cricket field against Derby all those years ago. For all the people slating Wood count your lucky stars we have him and not Gifton up top.

Was it Brady that bizarrely played the ball across goal?

Akinbiyi had a horrendous miss once in front of the Jimmy Mac end, I think it was against Wolves in his second spell.

Yeah, but his team still won. 2-1. So sleepless nights in the Ritchie household are likely to be 0.

Back in the old third/ fourth division days, I'm sure someone shot and the ball went over the roof of the Cricket Field Stand.

Without sounding like it's a Jutkiewicz situation, if he gets on a little run Wood will find his confidence again and goals. At the moment with the system the way it is we don't play to his strengths at all. If all else fails we could see if Frederic Niamani's available?

I'm pretty sure that would count as normal, not bizarre, for Brady tonight.

Kept the scoreline respectable.

Many can keep banging the "We were unlucky drum", bet even SD thinks we deserved a point or 3 from that
