eddie Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Very satisfying win last night. These are the sort of teams and the sort of games we need to win to get automatic promo. We were patient and got the win we deserved. Getting goals late on means we are rewarded for patience, and also means we can be patient in similar games in the future, knowing we are capable of getting there in the end. A bit like Bouremoth last year in fact. And Yeovil. Still think we need someone like Bamford who can grab a goal out of nothing. Hughes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hendrick? Martin? Ward? Russell? Ibe? Bryson? They all could really Russell hasnt scored a goal yet in the league and neither has Best. Its good that we have midfielders who can score , but when we only have Martin up front I stil think we need another guy who can pop up and put the ball in the onion bag. Might seem silly I know when we score 2 goals a game but we need to win about 25 games to get automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamford, as much as I liked him, didn't really offer anything other than goals. And we already have goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 What a little golden nugget Schteve's dug up with Christie. He's really stepped up a division with class. A real bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Are Bournemouth the best side we have played this season ( before the sending off ) ? I'm going to have to say Charlton in the away match, then Sheffield Wednesday then Bournemouth. Well, for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The stats disprove those who think Bournemouth had more possession and pressed higher, as I thought. Total Shots: D(19) B(5) Shots on Target: D(5) B(2) Pass Success: D(88%) B(82%) Aerial Success: D(45%) B(55%) Dribbles: D(11) B(10) Tackles: D(18) B(14) Possession: D(57%) B(43%) Total Passes: D(606) B(451) Derby: Had a large quantity of possession in their opponent's half; dominated possession; favoured short passing Bournemouth: Were aggressive; gave away a lot of free-kicks; favoured long shots. We also had six players in their half on the 'player positions' they had two in ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovis aries Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 They are the most negative, for sure. I only watched it on stream , and of course its pure conjecture , but up until the Camp fiasco I thought the game had 0-0 written all over it. Negative , smegative , if that that was their game plan and it had come off, then it would have been good tactics. Hope we do not get the Man Utd mentality wherein every team is supposed to let you score and if they don't its not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we do not get the Man Utd mentality wherein every team is supposed to let you score and if they don't its not fair. Not disputing that fact at all. There is nothing whatsoever to force any side to be positive. If their aim is to negate, frustrate and finally nick one to mug the opposition, then that's fair game. Wigan and Millwall were the two to succeed by that approach at Pride Park last season, but more often than not the opposition will be leaving pointless - and goalless. Whether they would be more successful playing a more open style (like Bolton and Blackburn tried in our last two away trips) is up for debate. I think that Bournemouth came with a game plan and if it hadn't been for Campy, it might have succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Before the McClaren team renaissance most opposing teams management just figured how to score against us, and did not bother overly about stopping us scoring , now big change , completely the opposite , they just want to get out of the Ipro in one piece.

Yes but to get that you need wins; wvee drawn too many. Our defence lets in a lot so we need lots of goals. Doing OK so far tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably some of our draws have been points gained from games we would have previously lost. Certainly Sheff Wed and Forest away can be deemed good draws with the way both games went. Cardiff arguably too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
