Wasn't a strong header and I certainly don't disagree that he might have done better, however in Lawlors defence it can't be easy when the ball is travelling through so many bodies in the box.
Quote from: RoversAlias on February 11, 2018, 01:09:32 amI literally don't get some of our fans and what they see at times. Lawlor is for me easily the best permanent keeper we've had since Sullivan. It isn't even close, he's better than Marosi (and I really do like Marko). He makes errors but he's young and actually pretty inexperienced for a pro keeper yet he has an excellent kick on him, is a superb shot stopper and his distribution is actually very good. Fergie is the first manager we've had that insists on constant short distribution from the keeper so of course it is going to be noticeable when it goes wrong more. Lawlor will be a Championship calibre goalkeeper within a few years and will spend the majority of his career at that level in my view. I just hope it's with us.Of all his mistakes this season, how many have been because he’s been trying to distribute it short? I like Lawlor, think he has plenty of potnential, but if you think about it he has probably averaged gifting a goal to the opposition every 2/3 games this season - at what point do you draw the line?

Man City and others like to play from the back (s did SOD) but Charlton knew that and pressed us all game as others have doneSo instead should we now and again play it longer and risk losing possession or even more likely the ball not ending on the "green bit between the Stands" and going straight out of play ?

I wish we would leave a man on the far post for corners and some set pieces. I’m sure this would help us.However, this end of the pitch is the very least of our worries. It’s only cos mistakes at this end cost goals. Mistakes at the business end tend to get overlooked and forgotten.It’s the other end where we are totally toothless. Our inability to even threaten Charlton until the goal yesterday was rather alarming. And this has been a bit of a worrying trend throughout the season. Marquis has been out of form for a chunk of it.We have triers like May and Beestin but if you’re honest are they realistically the long term answer?Then there’s the way the team is set up which certainly handicaps us. I’m not tactical expert but it just don’t work. The gap between our attackers and midfield yesterday was massive at times leaving a huge gap in the middle. And with the slow and ponderous way we play is inexcusable.It’s not as if our play is down the flanks either.The goal we scored against Bristol Rovers was perfect wing play by Blair, which is where he should always be, and provided the easiest goal you will see.We never tried it again!!!! We kept coming inside.Must do better and take the shackles off please.
Most keepers dont peak until their mid to late twenties.Lawlor still has time on his side.
