Tea gentleman. Shock news Hilda's been sacked after a 102 years loyal service with only a tea bag as a parting gift (Last used by Alex Stock in 1075).

Above all else, I hope our new coach encourages, implores, insists that the lads shoot the ball more frequently, whether close in on tough angles or from distance, just have a go....Please!!!!

Example 1:  Bobb has looked good in his WC shows.  Against England, very early in his appearance he had found himself in the box, close in, and chose to try a pass through multiple defenders to get the ball to the ponytail, which obviously failed.  Looked like he was afraid to take the shot, and felt obligated to defer to ponytail.  I just felt he should have taken the shot, maybe he scores, maybe there is a deflection, maybe spillage.  But take the shot!

Example 2:  Taking shots from distance.  FFC needs to do more of this.  This WC is good reference point.  Two teams advanced on late goals scored from keeper spillage on shots from distance, Spain and England.  Take those shots, sometimes you actually score, sometimes a deflection, sometimes spillage.  But take the shot!

I agree we should shoot from long range more, but worth remembering we were the 5th best scorers from long range last season, Only West ham, Villa, Bournmouth and Forest scored more

Thx for pointing out the stats, but the eye test remains my guide on this matter.  Not sure how those stats were assembled, though I have to believe FFC would be low in the rankings for attempted shots from distance, and for that matter, shots attempted of any kind.  I just didn't think FFC took many shots that were available to them over the past couple of seasons.  Many times entering the danger zone too many short, ticky tacky passes, trying to pass through multiple defenders, resulting in lost chances and not even a shot taken.  Firm believer in taking the shot and asking questions later.....
