brommy Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 First goal conceded was unlucky, the second more concerning. Good connection on the header and a very sweet strike for the free kick. Away kit looks good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah, I know it's only preseason but I'm pretty dissappointed we are still conceding such cheap goals from corners. Hopefully it gets sorted over the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Classy from Westy, classy. Expecting good stuff this season from him. The defending? Get it sorted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMac Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Smart free kick from Westwood. Still a little concerned about our defending at set pieces although it is still early in pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Although Clark was to blame for the marking for the second goal & thankfully won't be featuring much,I think we are still going to concede a few bad goals from set pieces.A lot will depend on how much Vlarr improves in this area but I'm expecting JO to take a bit of time to bed in-That said,he will make up for it straight away in other areas of his play (strength & pace) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Where the hell was the keeper on Westy's free kick? Awful positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it gets sorted over the next few weeks[/quote.] We have conceeded sloppy goals and late goals so far in pre season. We have played really shit teams too, and conceeded in every game. I think we need a specialist defensive coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Where the hell was the keeper on Westy's free kick? Awful positioning. I seem to remember Ray Houghton scoring a free kick like this for Ireland. The keeper left the near post wide open and looked like a bit of a tit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it gets sorted over the next few weeks[/quote.] We have conceeded sloppy goals and late goals so far in pre season. We have played really shit teams too, and conceeded in every game. I think we need a specialist defensive coach I am not too worried right now. Lambert has been putting the lads through the wringer this pre-season, they are starting games already fatigued so its obvious their going to have lapses in concentration throw in the fact wycombe started pre-season earlier a draw is not a bad result. We also have to remember that none of the players want to get injured in a friendly so aren't playing as intensely as possible. These kind of pre-season results are normal. I think defensively we will never be great anyway, Lambert teams have always had a clear emphasis on attack and as we have Benteke, Weimann, and Gabby up top we are going to score goals! The final point is we played a very intense pressing system when not in possession last season and so our defense in this pre-season was always going to be weaker than what it actually is due to the points I have already mentioned when factored the pressing style means fatigue, not wanting to get injured will affect our pressing to an even greater degree.

Eastie Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Sloppy defending - I'm hoping okore will prove a strong centre half and help ease some of the nerves at the back, we really do need to tighten up on the silly goals conceded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
