Beautiful football

[Albumen]

Saturday I watched our team play beautiful football, have chance after chance, hit the bar and post from 25 yards within the space of 10 seconds, steamroller a team from start to (nearly) finish. We have Orlandi who is probably the most tehcnically gifted player in the division and we have the best defence in the league. We have a full bench who would get into most Chanmpionship clubs first team and we have Buckley and Bridcutt, both young eager players who could be around for years.
Stop being nuggets and enjoy the football.

I agree, I love watching our team play. People complain about bloody slow build up, but when we get going. Teams struggle, it's just a shame we aren't smashing them in. I do think we need a plan B, but we also should be encouraging taking shots. Orlandi was desperate for a long range one, and twice came close. Even Painter was having a go (albeit, shocking attempts) but nonetheless, it's a good sign and I sincerely hope the team knows how much Saturday's game means to us, and goes out there with the view to kill. (off the game early, not literally....we won't have a squad due to pending trials)

i would like to see us have more shots from outside the box like on saturday when we hit the post and bar

Correct - can't agree at all with people who say they'd rather dour, boring, negative football and results. What's the point if there's not entertainment?

Hear hear! A thread full of positive postings!!!

Slow build up was last season. We're one of the highest this season for chances on goal.

i love the way we play and its great to watch and its better then watching a team who hoof the ball to a big centre forward all the time

 

[Sam Ovett]

Always positive. Call me stupid, but I'd rather us play entertaining football, play well and perhaps not always get the result we deserve than have to watch us play dour, hoofball and get the winning result.

i would love us to take all the chance we make and hopefully it we will 2mow night

 

[brightonmark1234]

Sam Ovett i tottally agree with you i wouldnt watch a team who play hoofball all the time

Not stupid at all. I think people who ONLY care about winning, and nothing about the manner in which we play, are a bit odd.

Or don't go to games

Flair makes it exciting, if you see kids these days - they look up to players like Messi and Ronaldo, players with natural flair. If we're playing and creating players who replicate Barca, and Real Madrid whilst at the same time being successful, we'll just attract new fans...beneficial in the long term.

I was thinking the exact same thing on Saturday. I love our brand of football and the way teams are having to adapt so as not to get torn to shreds by our sexy skills. It would be nice to finish off more moves but then hitting the woodwork is much harder than that overrated scoring thing.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i feel if we keep playing the way we are. we will get more people to come and watch us

Excellent post, Mr Ovett ( are you related to Steve? ) , I couldn't agree more.

I believe Mr Saltor may have also had a decent shot from outside the box, I actually preferred his version to the ones that hit the post or bar!

 

[brightonmark1234]

Bob! i know bruno scored with his shot i just wanna see more of our players have shots from outside the box .

The thing that really gets my juices flowing is that although we can now see the improvement and the entertainment is getting there, we are only part of the way there we are going to get faster and better and you never know we might start hitting the target
