PistoldPete2 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Russell played really well today... Yes Mason has only 1 goal after quite a few sub appearances, goalscoring experience of Russell was needed today, as Maclaren said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 First 90 mins was it?? Looked a lot more dangerous. Cut in well a few times second half when he got his confidence up after scoring. just think he's been on the periphery of previous games even though scoring regular enough, thought his all round play was great today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yeah, thought be played very well. Put a great shift in and also showed us the finisher he can be with the one chance we gave him all game. Played sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Problem with Russell is that he was a victim of the formation used by the previous regime. He needs to be running onto a pass on the penalty spot, but has been required to be a team player and run the channels, play 40yds with his back to goal and link up play. It's tiresome being so right all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_J_DCFC Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Did he play up front today or on the wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Did he play up front today or on the wing? Wide. It was a 'proper' 4-3-3 with Jamie marauding on one wing, Russell on the other, with either one of them drifting inside to support Martin who played the classic 'back to goal' target man role as well as making runs in the channels. It allowed Hughes plenty of opportunity to get on the ball and rip Leeds a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norram89 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I love the fact that johnny and chris martin knew 0,3 seconds before the rest of the stadium what was going to happen. Good signs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_Stand_Ram Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 5 goals in 10 league starts, not forgetting in the majority he's been subbed off at around the 60th minute by Clough... Brilliant start and looks a brilliant signing. Long may his and Martin's goal scoring continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 To be fair, how could we have predicted James Vaughan would be this good? And, even if we had, I still think he would have preferred Huddersfield over us. Some things you just can't control. Back on topic though, Russell's a great player and showed it yesterday. He'll get 15+ goals, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, we now seem to have a pair on the same wavelength. Swindlehurst and Biley, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Another point is that Huddersfield are pretty much reliant on Vaughan: (cup goals included) James Vaughan 11 Adam Hammill 2 Joel Lynch 2 Jonathan Hogg 1 Adam Clayton 1 Danny Ward 1 As opposed to: Chris Martin 7 Craig Bryson 6 Johnny Russell 5 Will Hughes 2 Conor Sammon 2 Mason Bennett 1 Jake Buxton 1 Michael Jacobs 1 Jamie Ward 1 Zak Whitbread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
