Barry Corr

[Norwichshrimper]

He always takes penalties high and hard and this one was no different, he was due one miss.

Hopefully he's saving all his goals for Wembley!:loyalsupporter:

??? The only ones I can remember were Stevenage away in the league (bottom left) and Cheltenham away last year (keeper saved low down IIRC)

Corr's performance was fantastic all round bar the finishing, a really strong performance against a team trying to bully him from the off...however, and it was really weird, I wasn't even that upset when he missed...I just knew he was going to miss.

With hindsight I'm glad he missed the pen anyway. This way we won with a couple of decent goals rather than with a penalty that was as wet as a bag of lettuces.

 

[Norwichshrimper]

How anyone can say he had a poor game is crazy, he gad one if those in front goal games, but his all round work rate, effort and commitment was first class.

Not crazy...just people that don't understand football

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

His general play was excellent.

His finishing was woeful. Had we not gone through, his hero status would be gone.

He doesn't have to score goals to be effective.....he didn't score last night, but he still played his part in a great performance.

Timlin wouldn't score more than 8 in league one either...is he crap too?

Are you basing that on one game or the dozen before last night in which he scored 7?

Surely people will have learnt never to judge Corr on one game ...

I may have under estimated Barry Corr's game last night, but I think I got away with it........:smile:

Had one saved recently as well. That was low.

Barry Corr really does divide opinion, he plays the target man role fairly well, his passing could be a lot better & his anticipation of situations is fairly low, he is a League 2 target man, League 1, if we get there, is imo a step to far for our Barry........

His misses last night were nothing short of criminal, the scuffed shot, the Messi-esq lob which was just plain Messy & the less said the better about his Penalties.

He is a target man end of, he needs another striker buzzing around him picking up the pieces & flick on's for us to be more fruitful in front of goal, or at least play with 2 wingers & put the ball in the air for him to attack, we do not score enough goals & im hoping we can defend well at Wembley cos if Wycombe get 2 I cant see us getting 3....................

Ha! That is one of the worst statements I've ever seen on Shrimperzone (and this IS Shrimperzone we are talking about...)

Corr was immense - and I'm not a fan who thinks he is 'god' and buy into all the BBBC nonsense, but he was outstanding last night. Sure he fluffed a decent chance - and pens can be missed, its 50/50 - but apart from that, it was an absolute clinic in how to play the target man role.

It shouldn't be! A good penalty taker should be scoring 8/9 out of every 10, not 5!

Blimey. I would never have guessed that.

Who else was it going to be?

[DTS]

Played well but two totally unnecessary show boats meant the game should have been won well before extra time. Worked hard and was superb largely but think he needs a look at himself as his cockiness could have cost us promotion.

 

[JB Shrimper]

Played o.k at best and had 3 chances at least to win it within the 90 minutes! Missed too many pens to still be taking them! A proper league 2 striker would have won it for long before extra time!

Timlin is a good player barry is not ,don't like him ever since I saw last year with lee barney up front away to Northampton . barry is a thug , and very dirty player.
which is not the southend way
