Forss

The header was a very poor miss. Headed it virtually straight at the keeper with half the goal to aim at.
I actually disagree with this. When you watch it back he makes an initial move to get a cross played along the floor, then because Ayling took forever to make up his mind he ended up having to pull back out. It was actually good movement to get on the end of the cross at all but then couldn’t generate enough power.

Had it gone in I suspect it would’ve been disallowed anyway as Azaz looked to be stood offside right in front of the keeper.

I thought the chance that Mepham blocked in the second half was better. If that was us it would’ve bounced up into the top corner.
 
I think that's a bit harsh. There was an angle on it. Keeper had to make a decent save from it.

The one he put over the bar because he was leaning back was poorer for me.
I agree. The header was tougher because there was no pace on the ball from Ayling. Direction would have had to be very good to score and beat the keeper from there.
I think ayling took too long to deliver and should have been delivered earlier with pace to he honest.

The one which Hackney slotted him in for was a bad miss. Should have definitely hit the target and should have scored. I would have expected an in form Forss to bury that every time.

We have been bemoaning missed chances all season and a free header from that distance should have been taken. If we want to get into play offs these chances need nailing.
 
If people are really looking at Forss as the scapegoat for last night.......I suggest you are missing the point by a distance...... He shouldn't be playing as a lone striker..... We've allowed the transfer situation to develop to a crisis with last minute signings. He did his best, wasn't good enough but can't knock his effort. For all the money possibly pssed up the wall on loan fees - we could have paid ELL £30K a week until the end of the season! He could then choose where he went
