ariotofmyown Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Just seen the goals. Martin's pass for the 2nd is why we all kept on loving him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Biggest difference in this game for me was the team shape, which may have not been apparent if you were sat in the East/West stands. Both Jozefzoon and Waghorn were much narrower and were playing the width of the box, rather than the touchline. This allowed much more support for the central striker and enabled Martin to play to his strength with his lay offs and hold up play. Was a subtle change, but it paid off with us looking more fluid in the forward areas, particularly first half, than we have in a long time. There were negatives, obviously, such as the switch to three centre backs which seemed to surrender the wings second half to allow them to pump ball after ball into the box, which is their strength and our weakness. Don't know if this was intentional, but it was a concerning tactic. We did look tired at times, but I think Holmes, who was phenomenal first half, and Martin particularly can only improve with more games in that regard. Huddlestone has been a little better in the last couple of home games, but it only took one small drop of the shoulder from the player he was marking in the middle second half and he was 5 yards away from him... that turning circle is alarming. However, won't focus too much on the negatives because it was an "any means necessary" kind of game. Roos looked to gain massive confidence after the penalty save, Paterson was a different player to what he's shown so far and it's fantastic to see Bogle back too, we've really missed him.

therealhantsram Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The WhoScored team of the weekend features Kelle Roos - which is impressive considering we conceded two goals. Must have done a lot of other stuff right. Chris Martin just missed out to Steven Fletcher. Martin scored an 8.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a foul and a definite yellow, he misjudged the flight of the ball and when he fell to the ground he pulled their player down, some refs could have sent him off for it.

In the game he had joint most shots, completed the most dribbles, 98% pass completion, won 2nd most tackles, made the most interceptions. For the statistical side of the game, he had some very good numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erathirea Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I reckon Roos will be in there because his intervention (the penalty save) was probably the most influential goalkeeper moment of the weekend. It's not like there were many clean sheets in the championship this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Roos in the TOTW. First time we’ve had a GK on it for quite some time. Martin (8.4) and Paterson (8.1) only just missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 To be fair to Roos he dealt with a lot of balls into the box. Personally thought he did well even with conceding 2 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
