Guest Gist Posted 9 December 2006 Share Posted 9 December 2006 This bothers me. Wolverhampton 1 - 2 Leicester Goal Attempts 13 : 2 Goal Attempts On Target 3 : 2 On Target Crosses 24 : 12 Crosses Corners 11 : 6 Corners Offside 3 : 7 Offside Fouls 17 : 13 Fouls Free kicks 20 : 20 Free kicks Yellow cards 1 : 2 Yellow cards Red cards - : - Red cards % Possession 60 : 40 Possession % That's troubling. 2 goal attempts? Sure we had two goes and scored two goals - 100% hit rate. But 2 goes in 90 minutes is uncomfortably low for my liking. It is worrying but it's good we didn't concede more than one with them having that many efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves are a scratchbuilt side - of no great consquence in the scheme of things - and yet we allow ourselves to fall back voluntarily and offer them a way back which they so nearly accepted. Every time we do that we concede. It's not just the manager. Don't the players realise how silly it is?. Of course there will invariably be a reaction from a team that goes behind but Kelly should be able to anticipate that response by now and make sure the team understands what he expects by way of response.

The People's Hero Posted 9 December 2006 Share Posted 9 December 2006 Wasn't there but performance doesn't sound all that great. Having said that... 3 points away from home Just hope it's not going to paper over any cracks and that the inevitable conclusion of RK's tenure in charge is imminent.

Daggers Posted 9 December 2006 Author Share Posted 9 December 2006 It is worrying but it's good we didn't concede more than one with them having that many efforts. Radio.W were quite clear in stating that it was down to Wolves that they didn't capitalise on our generosity. For as long as Kelly plays tactics based on being afraid to lose he will continue to run our collective nerves and patience ragged. I'm just waiting for the New Year, I'm hoping the new ownership make a resolution to encourage a manager to approach games in an exciting attacking & passing fashion...no more stuffing 9 players behind the ball.

Thracian Posted 9 December 2006 Share Posted 9 December 2006 It isn't the first time we've had statistics like that. I'm sure there was a game recently where we went 80 minutes before our first shot on target. Not only is it an insult to the game and the paying public it is so unnecessary and it doesn't show a lot of confidence in our players despite the lip service the manager pays. For all that it was a welcome three points. The question is can we draw some conviction from it?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 9 December 2006 Share Posted 9 December 2006 Rob Kelly - Hung drawn and quartered after helping us to victory over Wolves. I was almost about to join the 'Kelly Out' bandwagon but today's victory has kept me happy, if only for another week. It's a fantastic result - most of us (including me) were expecting to get beaten - but we got the 3 points even if we played poorly. We might not have deserved it but that's football, sometimes you lose when you don't deserve to and vice versa. Kelly's damned if he wins and damned if he doesn't. For now I'll give him credit for this result - they exceeded my expectations and made my day. Well done Rob and the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybes Posted 9 December 2006 Share Posted 9 December 2006 we did what burnley do when they come to the walkers. We sat back soaked up the pressure broke away and scored with our only shots. Apart from levi's inspirational run , the game was pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't necessarily agree with that... he doesn't help himself with his comments to the press. Having said that, like you say, he'll be judged on performances (rightly so) and he got a good one today. League table doesn't lie though - we need a few more wins before I'll be anything approaching happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I'll give him credit for this result - they exceeded my expectations and made my day. Well done Rob and the boys. Kelly's never been damned for any particular result. Truth is there was nothing new about Kelly's approach today - nothing whatsoever to suggest he's about to move forward from his instinctively cautious and defensively-weighted approach to playing football. Three points today gave him four points from the last 21, we had just two shots against a perfectly ordinary side and but for an outstanding piece of individual play at the death we would have donated Wolves two points they should never have got a sniff of. Yes, the result was still an achievement. Any points are an achievement right now. More than anything it might give a boost to confidence. But we had too many familiar failings once again and played with a tactical nievity that is frightening at times - and when there was no need for it. The Wolves goal was a glaring example. It was hard enough to understand Hughes being selected on the right wing. But he turned up in the penalty area and became the second right winger in successive weeks to give the opposition a goal from our penalty area - this time by punting the ball straight out to their scorer. Even worse it was obvious that by defending deep we were likely to contribute to the sort of overcrowding which led to Hendeson being apparently unsighted for their goal. Today's win was welcome but much of what we did was symptomatic of what has got us into the current mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 9 December 2006 Share Posted 9 December 2006 The entire midfield were to blame for us defending deep second half. They showed they could compete in the first half but for whatever reason they didn't in the second half. How much of this was down to Williams' lack of match fitness I'm not sure.

lcfc_jme Posted 9 December 2006 Share Posted 9 December 2006 From what I understand the game was more boring than Jon Barber. But we finally won, got more points on the board, moved slightly up the table and halted the losing streak We need to do the Barnsleh next week to keep us confident and help us move away from the relegation zone further. It's also about time we scored in the last minute instead of fooking conceding! Not inspiring and not at all convincing - but as lwicd said, a win is a win.

I'm suire Williams fitness level would have played a part but that was to mentioned on this forum before the match so I'm sure Kelly would have anticipated it and the likely need to do something about it. Tiatto's booking didn't help, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
