If we stuck him up front we'd probably find out he's a classy finisher as well.... His corners are superb. Low, flat trajectory with pace. Not sure it was a god idea though of Nuge to break the code: 2 arms up=back post and 1 arm=front post, though maybe it's a "double bluff" as Nuge's first was off a "back post" corner, scored at the front post.

Too be honest listening to Rowetts interview it sounds like that delivery was a little bit of a **** up from Baird that worked to our advantage with Nugent' s run to the near (which if everything goes to plan is a decoy run).

I'd like to think he was at training one day, watching the usual suspects hit the corners, then thought FFS, marched forward and showed them how to do it.

You might have something there because Lawrence's corners and free kicks are not good Or maybe its just another Rowett masterstroke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 3 hours ago, Animal is a Ram said: Not to be negative, but it was almost a shame we went 3-0 up so quickly. That said, credit to Millwall for really giving it a go. Some better finishers, or Carson being off his usual high standards, and it could have been very different. Great from front to back today. All round team performance was great too. Everyone working really hard for each other. Carson pulling off great saves. Baird ran Vydra very close for my MoTM. Defended masterfully, great distribution, dangerous corners. Just wish he was a couple of years younger. Andre who? Keogh and Davies are one hell of a partnership. My only worry yesterday was that, in the second half, Davies kept getting sucked in as he marked their striker and nobody dropped in to fill the gap when he didn't win the header. Cleared one off the line in the first half. Both their reading of the game and positional sense have been very good. Loved Keogh's little battle with Steve Morison too. Forsyth continues to improve. I find it fascinating that people are willing to give Thorne patience, yet not Foz, despite him having as serious an injury for time out. Huddlestone starting to control games. I saw an article where he said he wasn't quite fit in the early part of the season. Would go some way to explaining his lack of form, and I was quite critical and thought he was Rowett's poorest deal of the summer. Certainly has improved. Ledley is this season's Eustace, except for the bookings. Does the simple stuff really well. Keeps us ticking over. Amazed he keeps finding himself in shooting positions though! I love Matej Vydra. Simple as that. Starting to play more like an attacking midfielder without losing that goal threat. His tracking back and work ethic was the best it has been. Such an intelligent player. Cracking goal. 3 I might be bit skeptical, but his performance has improved after Thorne played against Burton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I do feel a bit sorry for Wisdom. He was one of our better performers earlier in season, then Baird comes in and becomes undroppable. Hopefully he is learning from the master and will end up replacing him.
