Today's Game

[Guest]

To say Slough did not have to many shots , yes your right ... 2 out of 4 not too bad ?? however it was the same at the other end too ...how many direct shots did the Slough keeper have to make ? no many either....more goal mouth scrambles...

 

a good cup tie all round , plenty of incidents and goals...

 

good luck today , for a good home draw....

 

cheers...up the rebels.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Saw the goals again on Meridian news tonight - it certainly appeared the critcism of Wilko for their first goal was rather unfair - it was a cracking shot, and he was actually only a couple of yards off his line.And Manny's cool finish was excellent as well.

And criticism is coming from the ones who are quick to jump on others who have a go a McCarthy.

 

Double standards.

[FleetFanatic]

Not at all. Just a happy band of supporters with differing opinions.

 

I still think that Wilko will be gone next season.

Yes Alan - it's a bit like Portsmouth's long-range goal against Manchester United on Saturday. Howard really couldn't do anything about it, it was a fine strike - yet Peter Schmeichel still managed to suggest some might criticize him for conceding the goal. Presumably this was only based on the fact that he had made mistakes before, and so can easily become a bit of a scapegoat. The fact is, the shot was an excellent one, and very few 'keepers would have been standing exactly on their line at that stage.

Not me, I've not said a word about Wilko!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[EUFC superb]

wilko for the first goal wasnt at fault he just got caught off his line. cracking shot though

[Fleet fan]

if he got caught off his line it was his fault surely ,bad positioning

[EUFC superb]

no but it was just a hoof forward by their keeper if i recall so he was coming out to collect it

[Fleet4Life]

So if he was coming out to collect it and didn't its bad decision-making?

[Bernard]

Either way, it's sua culpa, I'm afraid.

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Like I said, he was 2 yards off his line - as near as dammit, on his line - he certainly hadt gone walkabouts to the top of the 18 yard box & hadnt even strayed as far forward as his 6 yard line - my guess is that most who criticise have never played in goal in their lives.

[Harry J Allstars]

Oh I have, didn't like much I seemed to be diving away from the ball, can't think why though.

[Hirsty]

Harry........I always saw you as a sort of Charlie Cooke type myself....not a goalkeeper.......

 

Cheers,
