r4derby Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Good performance against Millwall, but still room for improvement. Defence was solid for the most part, but still not dealing with crosses well enough. Matt Smith might be a man mountain but their second goal could have been prevented too. Midfield trio look good, composed and hungry. Rooney has been inspirational leading Max and Louie through games. Chrissy to start? Did Holmes offer enough over Knight or (dare I say it) a rejuvenated FloJo? I haven't seen him play yet, and am going off purely what I have read about training and the friendly with Stoke, but FloJo (and other technical 'confidence' players) may thrive without fans in the stadium to impact their morale. I wouldn't start him yet, but I definitely want to see him off the bench given a decent amount of time to impress. For me, positions up for discussion - GK, LB (Lowe or Fozzy), RW, ST Pleased with the solid start to the resumed season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Should that Sibley kid lose his place after missing those two sitters? Ignore the fact that he carved open the chances himself, or that he scored three tremendous goals, or that he gave a generally masterful midfield performance irrespective of the goals and the constant threat that he carried throughout the game.

DesertRam Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Just hope we can reverse the away win trend in this one, am going for a 1-0 with a goalmouth scramble by Waghorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamer to stay in goal. Energy and mobility have been the hallmarks of our last 3 performances and we seem to have “bounce back ability” aplenty which is a great sign, that I think Rooney has instilled. Can we win 4 on the bounce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 We may do some team by five goals before the end of the season if their heads drop, chasing shadows etc. Goal difference could be a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsRam1999 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Every game is a cup final till the end of the season. Hopefully Sibley can have a positive end to the campaign, our season depends on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player wise I'd agree, but I'd go with Waghorn over Martin. Cocu himself said Waghorn and Sibley worked better as a pair - and between them they bagged 3 goals.

I know it’s harsh to drop Waghorn after we have just won and he chipped in with an assist. It’s just personal preference. I think Martin makes us tick. But obviously if Waghorn starts and we play well and win, no-one will be complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to be pedantic but they didn't score 3 goals between them, as Waghorn didn't score, Sibley scored 3 goals. Also Waghorn wasn't on the pitch when Sibley scored his third.

Marriot Ram99 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I would go for Martin over Waghorn, better linkup play and I think Reading will sit quite deep so will need a hold up player more than Waghorn' s extra mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you could argue Waghorn is more likely to drag their CBs out of position allowing Sibley the space to grab another hat-trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Roos Bogle Davies Clarke Forsyth Bird Rooney Josefzoon Sibley Lawrence Waghorn Still not convinced by Hamer, and his distribution isn’t good enough, so Roos would still be my number 1. For whatever reason Wisdom looked totally off it against Millwall, wasn’t just a lack of fitness, it was a lack of focus too. If he hasn’t sorted that out, then Davies will have to come in to steady the defence. I don’t like Holmes out wide, so I think it’s time for the Josefzoon experiment to see if he’s any better behind closed doors. Hopefully he will add a bit more genuine width to the team.
