My point about the first 60 minutes wasn't that we were great just that I felt we were more likely to score than Bristol, who offered nothing. We had the 2 shots that you mentioned but like you say we lacked composure at key times but the positives were that we were almost making things happen - just a bit of composure or the ball landing at the feet of the right person. We deffo weren't playing great but it always looked like we were more capable of suddenly clicking than Bristol.

However in most of our matches we haven't been brilliant until we have scored. Stoke we scored then looked great, Derby same thing, Norwich likewise. If we'd got an early goal v Bristol then because Bristol would have had their gameplan ruined we would have likely ran rampant and dominated the game and created (and likely missed) several chances. When I was a manager I used to run a separate competition alongside the goalscoring charts which was to count how many important goals each player scored - by important goals I meant goals when the score was either level or when we were behind because I felt it was a lot harder to score at those points in matches than when you were already in front (and you had more space as the opposition couldn't simply defend). It was surprising how little effect some players had before the team had got control of the match - I think our top scorer had nearly 30 goals but only 1 or 2 were 'important' goals. I do feel that our biggest weakness in this team is that too many players don't ever really look like scoring. Oh to have a Yeboah or Hasselbaink in this team that could crack one in with venomous pace from 30 yards - very hard to defend against that.

Good point on early goals

Early important goals would probably settle us down allowing us to play fluent football with exuberance & confidence rather than making simple errors & choosing too many wrong options.

Have to say I haven't change my opinion on the first 60 minutes of the game

We started the game well but between the 20 to 55 minute stage of the game we allowed Bristol City back in the game, thankfully the robins were so poor they didn't have the initiative or quality to take advantage of our loose play

We didn't move the ball quick enough.

Possession surrendered far too easily.

No composure when we rarely created an opening.

We took one touch too many rather than go for the shot.

Only two shots from Roofe & Alioski in the first-half.

Never got round the back of them from the flanks.

Gave away too many free-kicks/corners away throughout the game.

Too many fancy flicks when a simple ball would be the better option.

Alioski constantly moaning, as Eddie Gray said "he could start an argument with himself"

We deserved to win the game but we weren't that good.

Thank you very much for the link is that link always available Weasel ?
