Janneh was doing it at the start of the season by blasting it low into the area and we scored twice from the keeper being unable to hold onto it. You're kidding yourself if you think either of those were crosses. He was shooting both times. Agree in general though, we do need to get the ball in quicker. Of course, one of the reasons we don't is that there's often no one or 1 person in the box, so we also need need to be a lot better at getting attackers in there to aim for. So often we have 2 players max in there, which means the cross needs to be perfect for someone to get on the end of or benefit from a ricochet or poor clearance.

I don’t think they were shots, I know he can be an unpredictable player but I think they were simply blast it into the mixer around the edge of the 6 yard box and see what happens. He was too wide.

Bennett’s cross on Saturday and Janneh’s early season shots all came from us winning the ball higher up the pitch and not letting the opposition get back into position. As long as we keep pressing higher up the pitch we’ll start scoring more often.

The way he hits them certainly read like shots to me. The Oxford one is without doubt a shot – you can see him look at the keeper & aim for the far corner when he does it. If you want to be generous, I think you can read the Fleetwood one as you have as more of a smash it across and see what happens kind of thing, but his angle on that one is much more at goal than it is at teammates. As for being too wide – anyone who decides to try the effort he did from 35 yards in extra time against Cheltenham will absolutely try from where he was on those two occasions.
