I’m not doing as many videos now because it takes too long but here are the goals from an excellent game I had tonight at home against Peterborough..
There were a few different scenarios in the game.
We are struggling so much to score and always conceding at the other end. I put Robinson upfront even though his confidence/form arrow was low. He had a couple of chances to begin with that were not well taken. But then he scored a great goal on the break. Then his confidence rose because he started playing well holding the ball up etc..
But they equalised in the second half with a kind of scuffed placed shot into the corner. It looks good on the replay.
Not long after we scored a good team goal, involving a back heel, and then a pass to Robinson who allowed the ball to roll across the front of him so that he could strike it with his left foot. Great goal.
But again they equalised. This was a cross that deceived everyone, it was low and it bounced between the defender and the keeper. I love they way the keeper held back because he thought the defender had it but in the end it went to their striker who just had to tap it in.
I was really annoyed because we deserved to be winning. I brought on Bunn and put him on the left side. He expressed my anger on the pitch as he left a player down on the floor in our half after a 50/50 challenge. He ran on, played a one two with Robinson (I think) and then held off 2 challenges before smashing a looping shot from 20 yrds into the top corner of the net. I jumped out of my seat with a scream. What a winner!!!
It’s one of those moments that I am experiencing more and more with this game but you only feel it when you are in the moment and it’s your team. A part of me is thinking how did he score that? especially on full manual, but to me all I did was push the shoot button and Bunn did the rest. To me all his stats came into play as he took a man down, played a one two, held off 2 strong challenges and had the audacity to smash it in the top corner!
A Bunn in the oven!!!
