I'm looking at the rules...
There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
• a goal kick
• a throw-in
• a corner kick
I knew the throw in part, and the corners I presumed it would be too hard to give since the corner mark is almost level with the by line, but I didn't...
Nearly penalty for pulling back the very thing Hawkins as sent off for. Someone needs to tell our defence; letting our opponents through and pulling them back is not a legitimate, or legal, defending tactic.
Norman Gall seems to think the defence are so poor because they are putting in too much effort, trying t compensate for a non firing forward line (i.e. they think 'we're not going to score, so we better make sure we don't concede').
Seemed the consensus after the weekend was thatour attack is...
Slade said after the stockport game that Dicker wasn't quite performing in the pre-season, anyone confirm this?
Slade gets to see Dicker in training and is more aware of his current form than we are on 15 minutes in a poor 9 man team.
Perhaps Dicker will get a significant amount of match time...
