Ben Old might have scored. He wasn’t that clinical! Successful counters seem to require at least two attackers or Kosta, Zawada, and maybe Kraev in form.
It’s not actually an easy chance. There are no other attackers to distract the keeper and defenders. The keeper sets himself so there are fewer options about which side he can shoot it. Plus there are a bunch of defenders. It wasn’t a tap by any means.
But yeh, when in doubt hit the target and let them make the mistake or get the rebound.
With the corners- did you see where our press started? Deep, deep in our own half. We gave them territory and possession, but failed to hit them on the counter so that part of the game didn’t work.
Sure they had chances, but long shots that we’d expect Josh to deal with.
I do think we should have held a clean sheet and scored more. But we’re back on the win wagon flying Chief’s flag. January signings- injury replacement signings? Midfield competition or striker? Or a defender ahead of the kids?
