WilkoRam Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Rather than add to the "we won, ha ha ha. In your face anyone who has criticised the club recently" posts. Did we play well? I hope the 4-1-3-2 or 4-3-1-2 formation (depending on who you listen to) worked. We don't have the wide men so like the idea of a more central looking team with people playing where they're comfortable. Good away result that hopefully adds to confidence away from home and starts to get that monkey off our back. Anyway be good to hear from anyone who saw the game and can give an honest assessment on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Obviously Clough read my "suggestion" about playing Hughes behind 2 strikers. Nobodies too old to learn. I mean, bloody hell, even I never knew what rimming was until Eddies post in the match day thread made me look on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Very well. Midfield looked far more solid. Allowed the full backs to get forward more and guess who created our two goals, Forsyth and freeman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posh Ram Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 a little weak in the air i thought, but we recognised our strengths and played the ball on the ground a lot more. we just need to be a bit more clinical, for example russell had a great chance on his left foot on the edge of the box but instead tried to feed through martin and the chance came to nowt.

WilkoRam Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 From BBC site, twitter feed etc it's nice to hear the oppo manager call us clinical. Certainly wouldn't have been called that last season. Also sounds like we didn't camp out in our own box near the end. Had a chance or two to make it 3. Is that right? Pleasing if it is. If we can add the counter attacking ability to our game then it would be a big bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Sounds like Eustace did his job well, on the radio they were saying he dragged the other midfielders out and got them to push up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can add the counter attacking ability to our game then it would be a big bonus. yeah, we invited pressure onto us a little bit at the end but still better than last week. ward had a really good chance on the counter, but he took one touch too many and dragged it just wide. overall i was pleased with the display, nobody really stood out as to having a great game (except for matin's two goals), but nobody had a shocker either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfb Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 as well as Eustace coming on and organising the defence, it sounds like Coutts,Freeman,and Martin were all really good today...... cant wait for someone who was there to comment.... and hope the highlights on the FLS are more than 40secs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Ram Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Who played where in the midfield diamond? Is it right that Coutts was the central one at the base of the diamond? Presumably then Hendrick right, Bryson left and Hughes at the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 To reiterate a previous post I am mildly impressed regards todays performance, after watching Blackburn game I was full of trepidation for todays game so pleasantly surprised was proved wrong. One swallow doesnt make a summer and all that though so hope we can build on today against Leicester, still have reservations abut our defence; 2 league games no clean sheets so not jumping for joy just yet....

BondJovi Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think one of the main differences is Martin. Away from home especially, the ball sticks to him, he keeps it, buys us time. The midfield can play it into him, get it back, the team can push forward. For all of Sammon's work rate he did not offer that, but he is a great option from the bench. The beauty of the diamond is that as long as you keep Hughes behind the strikers, the other three can rotate roles, so it may well be a 4-3-1-2. I think it gets the best out of our best players and it is exactly where you want Hughes. Today we played to our strengths and it worked, other games it might not but I hope we stick with it as our defence is not good enough for us to sit back. Great result. Well done lads and Clough!

I mean, bloody hell, even I never knew what rimming was until Eddies post in the match day thread made me look on Google. I distinctly remember crossing it out. It was a typo, and the fact that I used to work in Brighton and have some very good friends down there (in Brighton I mean - not literally 'down there') has nothing to do with it.
