Tom James is two footed and that left footed strike from range has got to be up there with the best goals he has ever scored for the Os. With that goal scoring potential, he should be scoring a lot more goals. Kelman took his chance well to score his goal and he has improved so much since his last spell here. The penalty award, might Hemming have done better by not rushing out so quickly and tried to stay back and stand up and try to narrow the angle rather than committing himself to dive at the feet while so far off his line, Hemming diving like that, well to me it was always going to be the case that the forward would dive as soon as challenged by the keeper diving at his feet and a penalty given. All opinions welcome on that incident.

You don't mention how poor James's defending was their goal

You don't mention how poor James's defending was their goal It’s RWs choice to push him forward more. If he don’t do it he gets dropped. The end result being a great goal and poor defending. The Jake Caprice scenario all over again. Want him attacking more, provide suitable cover at the back. Especially against pace, James ain’t that quick. |

Yes we need that James goal potential going forward.
RW must assign a quick player to cover the defensive gap he leaves behind.
James will never get back into position quick enough.
We can't just rely on
Dan A & Kelman for goals,,so he needs to get forward more.

Exactly correct ''Want him attacking more, provide suitable cover at the back. Especially against pace, James ain’t that quick '' Not rocket science is it ?

Galbraith will easily get 10-15 goals this season massive upgrade on Ruel.

The proof of the pudding will be the eating. AS to Ruel, why do so many have it in for Ruel and anyway, Galbraith and Ruel are not like for like in styles and positions. Kelman is more like Ruels replacement and he is doing well at present, a big improvement from the last time he was loaned to the Os.
Problem is how many of this present team will be here start of next season and that could even include the manager !! So many loan players and players on the last season of their contracts, hmm we shall see.

Big changes on their way unless we can get some to sign extensions or deals in the case of the better loans. |

Easy to second guess Hemming but in this case he was left in an awful position by his teammates. I’d give him a bit of leeway on that one tbh.👍 |

I’d give him a bit of leeway on that one tbh.👍 Not the first time he has come a long way out of his goal, candidate for the opposition to try to chip him, although that seems a bit of a skill not seen much any more. Yes he was left in an awful position but that can happen in a game and goalkeepers must work on it in practice to come up with their best options in those sort of situations. Quite often if the keeper stands up to the forward, seems the forwards just panic a bit and shoot it straight at the keeper, that happens so many times. Jimmy Greaves was a master of scoring when in a one to one goalie to beat situation, but then again he was a goal scoring machine/genius !

Greavsie wouldn’t have gone down - he’d have left the keeper floundering before tucking the ball away!😀 Going back to Hemming, I was a bit taken aback on Tuesday night that the Ref didn’t issue a card of some description for the penalty offence. Glad he didn’t but as I say I was surprised. |

More often than not what gets termed a bad mistake is a marginal event that occurs within a split second and would require almost superhuman foresight and athleticism to avoid. |

Glad he didn’t but as I say I was surprised. Quite often Jimmy took on the keeper and went round them and just dribbled the ball all the way over the goal line. seen him do that a few times and just a few handshakes after scoring a goal. In his after match interview when asked about Hemmings getting a red card, Richie said as far as he knows, new rule this year that the penalty award is regarded as enough punishment, so no red card given

More often than not what gets termed a bad mistake is a marginal event that occurs within a split second and would require almost superhuman foresight and athleticism to avoid. Yes things happen quickly in football, but in fact in many sports decisions really do have to be taken in fractions of a second. Think of cricket when batting against a very fast bowler of 90mph plus. That is why professional sportsmen or women get intensive training and coaching to try and ensure that they make the best use of their abilities by honing their skills by constant training to go through situations they will come across in order to make the best possible use of their abilities when it comes tactics and decision making when the game is in play. Remember the old but still true saying ''practice makes perfect'' ! |
