t'oldu Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 And Whitbread who just got on with his job - allowing Keogh and Forsyth to get on with theirs - no coincidence that they both had their best games . The experience and reliable cover was there for them. And no coincidence that Jamie drove forward......... .

Alph Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 We couldn't keep playing better teams forever. I thought we would have beaten Ipswich until the disruption. It gets much easier at home now. Leicester, Burnley and Reading are tough games full stop. Our record against them has been poor anyway.

TigerTedd Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I won't feel proper relief until I'm sure our away form is still what it was. I've got a horrible feeling that Steve might have waved his magic wand over the home form with some tweaking of personnel and a new formation, but will that have any sort of knock on effect with our away form. (Having said that, we've lost our two last away games in a row). Mind you, if we can continue our good away form, as well as our obvious improvement at home, then for all Steve's careful long-termism, it really could make us a force to be reckoned with in this division, and the play offs await.

Alph Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 dont agree at all You don't think we'd have beaten Leeds? We've never started that badly in a game like we did Ipswich. Our home form last season was good. We haven't actually played that badly at home this season except Burnley. We weren't that dominant v Leeds. But we just looked far more enthusiastic going forward.

Alph Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 no m8 I don't agree sorry. Fair enough. Out of interest when do you think Nigel would have won a home game?

We haven't actually played that badly at home this season except Burnley. We weren't that dominant v Leeds. But we just looked far more enthusiastic going forward. I think the change at home has been down to tempo. We've looked to attack with a bit more purpose rather than just keep the ball and we seem to have pressed higher up the pitch leading to us gaining possession in more dangerous areas (see 1st goal against Leeds) Whether that's been a conscious tactical ploy or just different circumstances who knows but we definitely looked cautious for the first few games and failed to play with any great tempo.

Yeah I'd give credit to McClaren for that. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/12801-first-home-win-at-last-massive-relief/#findComment-498324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 To be fair to Reading, Burnley and Leicester, this weeks fixtures against Ipswich and Leeds have been the first teams who haven't set up with a game plan to hit us on the counter whilst staying predominantly solid. Ipswich and especially Leeds were very open. Hence the 7 goals scored IMO... As we all saw last season, teams who come to PP and play that open football don't tend to do very well. Not taking anything away from our performances as we looked better on the ball and going forward but I think we'd have won at least one of the two games played this week anyway. A welcome win though and at a key time, takes a tad of pressure off and it now gives Steve 2 weeks away with the squad to really get to grips with it with a confident bunch of players.

WilkoRam Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It's early days. It's only 1 game under McClaren and 2 without Nigel. I'm elated about the results and the positive things being said about the performance. Time will tell if this will prove to be a constant and we look like beating the better teams or not. We are away against Watford next and as I've said in a previous thread - I'm going so there's only one result on the cards.

Ambitious Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The change in class both home and away is ridiculous. Next 5 home games.. Birmingham City, Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough, Blackpool and Doncaster - I expect at least 13 points from the 15 available. Next 5 away games.. Watford, QPR, Bournemouth, Wigan and Charlton - I'd bite your hands off for 6 points from them 15 available. which gives us 19 points which would roughly put us in and around the play-offs?

Guest Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 i think we can win all this months games it is a Kinder run so maybe we can put some preasure on top 3 And keep up the pressure on the owners to sell up too I suppose?
