Let's talk about... our crossing!

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

To me Cadden hasn’t achieved enough from all his possession. How many assists has he had? We can be a bit slow and predictable, we tend to score by varying it or moving the ball quicker

To be fair to Cadden, a lot of his great crosses haven’t been put away. He could easily be sat on an extra 5-10 assists from what I’ve seen

Agree with that.
Even yesterday Taylor shot at the keeper from close range and really should have scored.

I think it's a touch unfair on Taylor. He was under a lot of pressure from the defender and wouldn't have been able to fully anticipate where the ball would land for him.

However, Brannagan was right behind him, and if the cross had been left entirely, it's a tap in for Cam.

I could go to town on our crossing, however, the ball from Cadden yesterday is exactly the type of delivery we require. Much like Man City, in Taylor we have someone that attacks the back post. Pace across the six yard box is ideal. Cadden delivered similar vs Wycombe also. This doesn’t include the last 4 games, but these are the shots Cadden has assisted this season.

red = goal, bigger dot = better chance



This is why our RB recruitment is so important in January. We are losing one of our best creators and one of the most prolific crossers in the league. Throw in his link up with Henry on the overlap/underlap and he is pretty integral. Anyone coming in will need to replicate this pretty quick!
