I've thought that we've got worse and worse as we have got narrower and narrower - starting with Nobby being sold and then Robert

 

Interesting that N'Zog is giving us some width and some crosses at long last - we should expect that the return of Nobby will improve things as well

First half in particular - no width and no movement. Blackburn worked very hard at cloisng us down and you have to say the lack of width made it easier for them to do this.

Lot easier to pack the midfield and close us down when you know no-one is going to go past you on the oustide

 

If you do then its great - hammer the ball across the area as a great mob returns in a cavalry charge fron the centre circle - good chance of an own goal as well...........................

I've never understood why people at the club fail to uderstand it. Particularly in a team containing Shearer width is vital.

 

Its not just about launching crosses into the area eiher as some people think width totally spreads the opposition about and opens up space for your attackers all over the pictch and makes good fotball much easier to play and goals easier to come by.

and makes the keepers job a lot harder

 

long balls down the middle mean he's watching in one direction and ready to come racing out if he has to

 

put the ball wide and he has a lot more to think about - near post or far post, cross in the air or on the ground, who is behind him etc etc

True, and really its none as when Rob said:

 

"We should expect that the return of Nobby will improve things as well"

 

He was secretly referring to his recent succesful course of viagra improving things in the RobW marital bed :blink:
