...and we're undoubtedly (without checking the stats/xG yadda yadda) creating a lot more chances - and often quality chances - than we have been in recent years. The frustration comes when you see the incredibly skilful Iliman Ndiaye hitting shots straight at the keeper (this week and last week) when we all know that he is very capable of just slotting them into the top or bottom corners with ease.
We seem to be running out of steam, which isn't overly surprising given our exertions this season, but yes, we've got decent options on the bench for when that happens, and I think it's reasonable to wonder why they aren't coming on sooner when they are a like-for-like swap for players that are clearly fatigued.
Frustrating for sure, but wherever we end up this season, things are a lot better all round, and we're looking up rather than down. Previous Message
it's a world away from the Keep it tight, lump it forward and win a second ball under Dyche. we are making chances but wasting so many of them. at the other end offensive solidity has slowly been coming to an end. The result - We are just not quite good enough to compete in the top 3rd of the table. Previous Message
for me, it is a pleasure to watch a game again and i am looking forward to next season
fortunately, no one on this board was asked to oversee the construction of Rome.
