The glass wall isn’t in front of their goal; it’s in our players minds, about 10 yards before they reach the penalty box.
Beat the press brilliantly, pass it crisply through the midfield, then.. oh dear, ..mustn’t lose the ball, ..stop,, pass sideways, …work it back to the keeper.
To be fair last night there was a few occasions where Gilbey* got a chance in or around the six yard box and managed to either hit an opponent or put it wide. Tomlinson had a similar effort basically hit the keeper and there was quite a few moments when our players were in the box and just miskicked the ball all together.
*I love Gilbey, a proper Don through and through but I don’t think he a good enough finisher to be playing his current role. Feels like he misses a hat full of chances every game.
