Our ability to play through the middle quickly has seriously affected the quick supply to the forwards even when we have had players driving through the middle they often hold onto the ball too long instead of offloading quickly to change to point of attack, even when we have seen the quick release in the middle there has been a reluctance to go beyond the last man to give the wingers options through the middle until it is too late and the defence is set up. |
Yet Cullen and Bianchini get chances every game.
The irony is that Vipotnik is a better finisher than either of them, much better than Bianchini, but he isn’t capable of putting himself into those positions.
People used to slaughter Routledge for missing easy chances, but never gave him the credit for making the runs to put himself there. Vipotnik is the polar opposite. |  | |  |

Do you think the forwards get enough quality ball given to them that allows enough chances to be made?
Not defending Vipotnik but the supply is sparse to say the least, having said that you only need one goal to win a game, so here is the rub we cannot defend a lead
or even getting back on level terms, when we try to push home an advantage without consider the response of the opposition by make sure our defensive shape is solid,we don't.
Lack of concentration or shape directly after we score or minutes before and after half time, even at the start of games, we are not set up to defend leaving ourselves exposed. Then all we seem to be setup for is attack at all cost with no cover. We saw that against Millwall and even 2-0 up against Gillingham in the cup we went all out attack they got one back they should of had two, we scored in the last minute to make the result look respectable but we played some kamikaze football, same against Leeds to our cost and Norwich? | | | |

Sometimes forwards need to create their own chances, Piroe was excellent at this, so was A Ayew, Bony, Scotland, Trundle and many more past players. Pick up the ball beat a defender shoot and score, we see this done often against us. Why should our forwards expect it on a plate and supporters complain about poor delivery, quality forwards will always score. |  | | |

We create more chances than it appears when we’ve got a striker with very poor positional sense who very rarely gets on the end of chances.
The Cullen goal a Norwich was a great example of the type of that Vipotnik is often two or three yards off and flash across the face of goal. As it happens we had another player behind Cullen (Franco I think), but that’s the kind of cross that people don’t even register as a chance created for Vipotnik.
We clearly lack creativity, there’s no denying that, but it would look like we create more chances with a player like Piroe, who can do a bit more himself. | | | |

If you don't get the ball to them then they cannot score, knowing how and when they are going to get the ball is how good forward can make descions about what they are going to do with the ball once they have it, good movement by the forward helps the providing player as to where he expects the forward to be. Works both ways. Good supply and good finishing go hand in hand in a team sport.
When understandings and anticipation are non existent
chances for good play go out the window both in defence and attack.
Yes goal scoring is an art but they cannot do it alone, without support or in the wrong areas of the pitch. | | | |

Bang on, all those had crap slow midfields behind them too didn’t they?
(They had some of the best supply in their respective leagues - I was being sarcastic) | | | |

Piroe was often completely lost without Paterson behind him loading the bullets. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

This is just getting silly now.
We were ultra defensive under Cooper. Ayew had to create most of his chances for himself. Usually cutting in from the right onto his left foot. He had far less created for him than our current strikers simply because Cooper prioritised not conceding.
To say Bony had some of the best supply in the Premier League is flat out ridiculous.
Trundle in league one, I’ll agree with you there
Any of those strikers in their prime would have started every game for us this season and had a lot more than 4 goals, 0 assists. They’d have all got involved in games too. Bianchini does. | | | |
