Better certainly, but now we're sort of back at the place of dominating possession, not creating clear cut chances, and looking vulnerable on the counter.
We have to play it quicker in the final third, and look for little interchanges and triangles. I know it sounds simple, and it's easier said than done, but sometimes our players are so far apart from each other in possession and it makes it easy for a defense to just be compact and close the space.
We could desperately do with Josh dropping off from being the furthest forward, playing a couple of quick interchanges with midfield, and looking to get Aribo or Fosu or even Reeves in behind him.
Watching on iFollow we do the same thing over and over again. Slowly pass it around to keep possession, eventually get into the final third. It's too crowded in the middle so we get it out wide and try to cross to no more than 3 outnumbered players in the opposition box.
Thing is this isn't a one off, it's so similar many games this season. Teams know our formation, style, strengths and weaknesses.
It might look like we're dominating but I'd say dominating included regularly creating decent chances.
@ftfc 28s28 seconds ago More 48' | Fosu carrying the main threat for Charlton, as he twists past Coyle before forcing Cairns to tip the ball away. (0-0)
@ftfc 44s44 seconds ago More 51' | Chance for #ftfc on the break as Dempsey wins the ball back. Madden looks to find him on the edge of the area but the pass is overhit. (0-0)
52' Reeves turns smartly on the edge of the box, but his low shot is well held by Carins. #cafc
That was better though. We need to start having strikes from distance. Even if it doesn't result in a goal, it's a way to try to draw the defense out, get them to close you down, and potentially create space in behind.
how come all the Footie programmes have to have women all over the place these days, in the studio, roaming reports and your Twitter chat. I'm watching BT who is this woman. An England Lioness, how does that qualify her to be a bloody pundit !
This world of PC is going to far. Although they are all lookers, no fat over fifties birds. Come on let's give the munters (Millers Arms style) a chance.
