certainly one of the best. Holman runs him close (at a lower level), going way back in time Dave Lewis.JasonFailor wrote:The great thing about Mo is his technique. The way in which he hits the ball makes him so deadly. He's the best finisher I've ever seen at the club!
Just for context, in 2016, 24 of the 72 football league clubs had pitches as narrow or narrower than Whaddon Road. it is barely believable that the WR pitch, at 72 yards, is 12 yards wider than Wigan - the narrowest pitch in league football.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Doesn’t get the space to gallop on our narrow pitch. The distance from side line to eighteen yard box “in the channel” is so small at WR there just isn’t the space ideal for his game.
Same effected most players with a pace game...K Mo, McG, Devaney, Odejayi. At home most of their goals came on the counter when there was space. Whereas away from home there is enough space to work an opening.
Thay all remained calm in front of goal-confidence !Nesty wrote:certainly one of the best.

Like Dayton did to the Conference sides.Shade wrote:It's not hard to realise that our formation and players, in the second half of this season, are better suited to playing away from home where the opposition come out and attack us more, leaving Mo and others more room to attack into. At WR what we see more often than not is teams turning up and sticking 7 or 8 behind the ball for the majority of the match, especially if they get a lead. The few times teams haven't come and defended with that many behind the ball (Morecambe, Vale) we've battered them. This isn't just with one up front, but we've played 3 up front and still can't break these highly defensive, time-wasting teams down. What we need is a player like Sellars, who has the ability to beat a couple of men and draw them out, but that player then needs to be able to find a killer pass or shot...which Sellars currently isn't good enough for.

Exactly. We definitely do need a couple of proper wingers at home who can actually get to the byline and pull a cross back as well. Obviously, when teams defend the area like their lives depend on it you need to try and stretch them with quick passing across the pitch and we don't do that enough. But even if we do get down the wings, everyone these days who gets anywhere down the side of the box seems to stop, pass it backwards, and whomever is there tries to cross it in from 25-30 yards from the byline, which is a lot less dangerous.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Like Dayton did to the Conference sides.Shade wrote:It's not hard to realise that our formation and players, in the second half of this season, are better suited to playing away from home where the opposition come out and attack us more, leaving Mo and others more room to attack into.

Williams the best. His crosses seem to hang in the air in unison with Alsop hanging in the air. The whole world seemed to stop apart from the coiling back of Jules’ neck before time started again with the explosion header into the net.asl wrote:Lee Williams. Even Neil Howarth was a dab hand.
It`s less than 20 a season the way we are set up these days ?RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Williams the best. His crosses seem to hang in the air in unison with Alsop hanging in the air.

Also, was it Ward or Cotts who used to set a target of 20 crosses from within the the final 18 yards each match?
I was relying on a contribution taken from the following website, which purports to use imperial measurements: http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question49129.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;everyman wrote:CTFC Pitch ; 111 x 72 yds. 101 x 65 m.vickeryc wrote:Just for context, in 2016, 24 of the 72 football league clubs had pitches as narrow or narrower than Whaddon Road. it is barely believable that the WR pitch, at 72 yards, is 12 yards wider than Wigan - the narrowest pitch in league football.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Doesn’t get the space to gallop on our narrow pitch.

Wigan " ; 120 x 66 yds. 110 x 60 m.
You seem to be mixing your yds.with metres.
Some conflicting figures perhaps Paul Godfrey can supply the official EFL.stats.?
The Newport dimensions are reversed,probably down to translation ?vickeryc wrote:Thanks. This tells us that WR is one of the narrower pitches (though not the narrowest), which feels right. It also gives Wigan as being wider than ours, which contradicts my previous source, and Newport's pitch width as being greater than its length. All a bit inconclusive unfortunately!
Interesting that 105 x 68 m.Is the average for top clubs.everyman wrote:The Newport dimensions are reversed,probably down to translation ?vickeryc wrote:Thanks.
