Players having “periods”

[STWall]

So that’s the excuse - poor darlings!
“"We're getting punished again - two shots on our goal, two goals. And then everything we're trying at the top end of the pitch isn't quite coming off and fizzling out, so it's a difficult period.”

What were they trying to do at the top end .....maybe pass a ball to a blue shirt or a cross that beats the first defender or a corner that's not stereotyped each & every game ?, Playing one up front at home is a disgrace and the support he gets is non exsistence
