We should have been out of sight because, as I posted, when you're only one goal ahead, anything can happen. And it fucking did! TWICE!! This was a lesson that shouldn't have needed to be learned. We had them reeling and down but it seems that we faffed about with our chances and kept them in the game long enough for them to win it. I bet Potter is bouncing mad because I sure am.
It might be a fundamentally basic thing to say but our lads need intensive practise in finishing. It's taken for granted that professional footballers can do this but it's surprising just how many don't have a clue. And I know that nothing like enough time is devoted in training to shooting practise. It comes naturally to some: players such as Bony. Lee Trundle was another whom I often watched at Llandarcy. It was effortless. But others such as Dyer, for instance, were abysmal. Curt was there rolling balls for them to hit and practise was confined to the last 20 minutes before they all trooped in to hit the showers. I don't know what they do now but obviously it's not enough.
Three points thrown away today and I hope that it won't come back to haunt us at the end of the season. BTW, when I say shooting practise I mean ALL aspects of finishing; one on one with the keeper for instance and there are a dozen different drills that should be run until the players can do them in their sleep. As for our first choice stopper, I hope that Potter now realises that Mulder is the one.
