Subject: Maison Campbell
Charge: Flapping
Incident: Sutton’s 1st goal
Verdict: Not guilty
Our defence allowed their forward to get inside Mason’s shirt for the corner!
Why was no ‘guard’ deployed.
Surely it is routine to deploy an ‘enforcer’ to keep their spoiling/wrestling player from interfering with the keeper?
Deploy a shield – protect Mason!
We were 8 (Iron) v 6 (Sutton) in the box at the corner.
Why couldn’t the defenders organise themselves better? Not the first time this pre & season.
They ended up with a 3 v 1 overload at the back post when they scored – they bundled & battered our player out of the way and it was an easy header for their forward to score.
We’ve seen that happen before, as early as pre-season.
The back four plus others need to defend much better at corners & free kicks.
Take the blinkers off – see the bigger picture.
It’s easy to blame the GK – yet there’s chaos all around him at corners & free kicks.
Watch the highlights, pause the play, rewind the play, take photos… study what you see – it’s chaos.
Let’s see a ‘guard’ deployed to protect Mason at corners & free kicks in order to give him a chance to deal with what’s thrown at him.
