Conceding silly goals?

[Billy Hunt]

Apart from bits in the second half Vs. Burnley and 20 + minutes against Leeds this season, we haven't really played well. I didn't go to Reading, but from what others have reported we played fairly well. The point I'm making in this post is do people think we have conceded daft/soft goals this season? We also did it alot in the last third of last season too, particularly away from home. Supposedly we have this dominant defensive reputation, but the goals against Leeds and Norwich this term were pathetic. I sit in the A-Block and, even from that vantage point looking to the goal at the Trent End, those equalisers were shocking, particularly the Norwich game. What happened to Billy's tactical ground rules of when we score we have a 10 minute consolidation period where we keep it safe and don't concede. Said goals against Norwich and Leeds have come very quickly after ours and/or right before half time. When did these bad habits creep in? Hopefully we can get past this and move forward, as we're not the sort of team that can score 2,3,4 goals per game at the moment to compensate for leaking soft goals.

PS - this is not a criticism of the back four or, especially, Lee Camp.
PPS - you reds! Keep the faith.

Camp was giving the 'concentrate signal' to Bertrand as the teams set up for the kick off after we scored our penalty. IMO Camp displayed a lack of concentration a few minutes later - others 'keepers would've been on their line.

Why would they, the player who scored never intended to loop it over him, it was meant to loop back acroos the box.

Yeah that's a bit of a bold statement - name one keeper who stands on his line...
