Very much this, which is why I and a few others have been crying out for a poacher all season, yet we go out and get one in on loan in Robinson and we don't create half as many chances inside the box as we had done all season! Ironic.
The number of chances we have in games this season has been in the main quite high, we hit the post, get deflections etc but rarely make the keeper make any save unless its straight at them as we did a few times on Saturday.
Robinson isn't a poacher... he may bring something else to the side at the CG... we'll see.
The problem at the CG is 2 fold.... firstly we don't have enough variety in the goalscoring, which means it's too easy for sides to sit in and defend. Secondly, we give away goals at key times, through defensive including keeper error. This means sides can be fairly confident of scoring and then hold on... Crawley being a classic example.
By variety I mean scorers as well as type... we've 16 at the CG only Yeovil, who are in grave danger of Conference next season have fewer. When you consider 6 came in the first 2 games that's 10 in the next 13, nowhere near good enough.
Keshi hasnt scored at the CG, Kaiyne has 1. Woolf got one as did Joe Romanski, from an air shot, probably not a reliable method. Matty Taylor has one free kick. A way needs to be found to increase the goals around the side.... once you have the lead then sides have to come out and then it's more like the away formula.
If we're doing x amount of hours on set pieces and dead ball situations in training.... up it to 2x, or 3x if that dosn't work
