Dai Capp Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 you'd have got some good odds on a 2-0 win with Christie and Pearce scoring the goals! Great result against an in form side - hopefully a bit of a turning point for us - missed the game with a stinker of a cold but that's made me feel a load better!

McRamFan Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Agreed this could be a key game this season, if we had lost it would have meant bottom three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I hope we keep same team next week. Hopefully Hughes doesn't get back in the team just on reputation. Butterfield, Johnson, Christie, Once and even Bent were all great today - would keep same team next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Just now, Bris Vegas said: Probably largely to do with us taking the lead fairly early in the game. Set our stall out to contain them afterwards I guess. I'd rather us do it by dominating possession, but with Hanson, Johnson, Ince, Russell and Bent in the starting eleven that did seem unlikely, especially once we went ahead. No I understand the possession doesn't necessarily mean we were second best today, but under McClaren previously we would have more possession, play well & win. I guess that will come in time. I'm very happy with a 2-goal margin against a side in the play-off positions. Our best show of the season so I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a little weird though our pass completion was good at 80% which is higher than the average for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Am I dreaming ? Did we win? Did we score 2 goals? Did Christie score? This could be the second coming. This is too much for me. I need to lie down. Bent had a good game. Butterfield had a good game Ince had a good 10 minutes Oh my God we won 2 - 0 I'm sweating . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keogh and Pearce individually are no world beaters but together they are looking solid. I think they've conceded 6 in 9 games. With only 2 conceded in the last 6 games (since Pearson left).

Mafiabob Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Enjoyed the game. Christie, Carson and BJ for me brilliant. Ince great 1st half, 2nd half very below par. Wendies...... very slow I thought. Bannan practically Centre Half all game. Testament to the middle of park and Bent chasing down. Sure, they got through middle on occasion but they tried to walk it into the net. Good 3 points and a clean sheet in last 3 home games now?

Doodle Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 2 hours ago, brady1993 said: Honestly Weimann just seems like a worse Vydra and you'd have the same problems with him up top. You'd also have problems playing them as a two because neither are interested in linking with the midfield and a defence could completely stop them by playing a deepish line. Will have to disagree here. All Villa fans said Weimann would be great as a CF but crap out wide. Watford fans were adamant Vydra is the best drop off striker around. Play them there and see what happens. We've had enough square pegs in round holes this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he also created the best chances at Huddersfield. Hanson was poor today and Hughes will he back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to Mac after the match I think this was intentional, we will have set up for Johnson and Hanson to contain wednesdays attacking threats, in particular forestieri- so we will have set out to counter attack, hence why we started bent to be more of a poacher rather than having vydra drop deep. Wasn't at the match so can't tell if this was the case, but it seems to me that could have been the game plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back, indeed it was our best game of the season. We moved the ball around slick and looked threatening with every attack. Every player played at least a 7/10 today. Hanson lost concentration a couple of times but his passing at times reminded me of Thorne's. For all the Bent haters out there he did brilliant out there. Not necessarily because he was involved all the time but his movement dragged their cbs all over the place and created space for the likes of Butterfield and Johnson. I think this type of role suits Bent a lot better than playing on the shoulder(and getting offside). You all know I'm more pessimistic than others but no complaints from me today. Thought Wednesday were fortunate not to lose by 3 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some serious doubts about this. Whilst at Derby he's demonstrated very little to suggest he can link up play and he seems like he primarily want to get in behind. I think unfortunately we've let a contender for 'best drop off striker around' (at least in terms of the championship) go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forestieri was anonymous, didn't realise he was playing until half way through 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
