cannable Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Pressing masterclass. Russell the only poor performance but scored. BJ functional. Everybody else exceptional. First time I though “how ******* good is he?” about Huddlestone. About time Keogh stole the ‘bauer’ suffix off of Bucko. Ridiculously good.

One good defensive headed clearance otherwise looked like he just couldn’t be arsed. I think we may have seen his last appearance for us. What does Rowett see in Martin that we don’t? lol ? ? I’d ask yourself what you know about football if you are asking that question ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'm not really looking at top two, despite (barring Wolves) the evident lack of quality in this league. I didn't really see us challenging for the top six. I actually thought we'd finish around 9th-14th but Rowett is doing an excellent job and without putting on too much pressure, we look like a genuine top six side. It would be a major disappointment if we missed out on the playoffs given our current points tally at the halfway stage (even if we lose to Millwall, we're averaging a little over 80 points which is comfortably playoff form).

I see where you are coming from, we are doing better than i expected. What pleases me is that we are developing a habit of doing what ever it takes to get a result, if we continue automatic promotion is still a possibility as teams with that quality get promoted, Brighton would be a good example of this. anyway.......we won....COYR........YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS and breathe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Good game although we conceded a lot of possession. First half we hit them on the counter and should have had two early goals. The goal came as a gift from Villa probably an apology for signing all our potential transfer targets. Second half we managed the game. Very solid limiting Villa to very few chances. Huddlestone looked today how I imagined him to be before he signed for us. Keogh was fantastic capped off with a fine run and assist to Johnny Russell to make the result certain. MOTM was a toss up between Keogh and Huddlestone. The good thing today was we showed that we were solid. I think this sends out a message to the rest of the promotion candidates.

Ninos Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 18 minutes ago, Cam the Ram said: I think you're going to be upset come full time of the Millwall game because I've no doubt he'll be brought on to either help us see the game out like he did today or to offer a different type of attacking threat to Nugent. After Thorne came on do you think Nugent would have been involved in that long series of passes involving Thorne, Martin, Russell, Baird etc that killed any Villa momentum? I don't, I think he would be looking to receive a ball down the wing. I’m not upset I’m delighted That move btw was all Thorne ... he was integral to each pass ... total composure ... as to martin, he again surrendered critical balls and then just couldn’t be bothered to hustle in for tackles that were a few feet away. Wasn’t that impressed with Nuge tbf - he looked tired from the start - a step off the pace. I was happy that Martin came on but his lacksadasical showing stood out from the other 9 who worked their socks off. What does GR see in martin that we don’t ? ? Ask CM yourself. Did you try today Chris or couldn’t you be arsed? If he’s honest he’d tell ya. It was poor, even for him. He must have packed his suitcases already. I call it as I see it. He don’t get a free pass sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I was really against signing Whelan in the summer but he was cracking today. Ball through to Vydra for Weimann's goal was outstanding, my motm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Wolves, Cardiff and Bristol City don't look like slowing down any time soon ? so we aren't actually reducing the gap much. Just gotta keep plugging away and keep doing what we're doing. One of them will eventually hit a rocky patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Fantastic win. Didn't give Villa a sniff. We made them look awful and if you come for a draw, don't shoot yourself in the foot and pass it to Vydra on the edge of the box. That 7 odd minutes of George Thorne was absolute heaven by the way. What a classy, quality player. Sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
