Ambitious Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 7 hours ago, sage said: Am I allowed to say Knight had a very average game today even if it does goes against this week's obsession? Agreed. He looks more influential playing at right back, in this team. Understand that Rosenior probably noted Mehmeti as their threat and wanted to sure up that side (although it didn’t work brilliantly in the first 20) he didn’t want Knight pinned back by the threat of him. It was a good adjustment. May Contain Nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Knights energy in midfield 2nd half was key . Not just that though . Its all about the balance of the team . Chester did well The team and manager are evolving . For those who still want Knight at RB all I can say is wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maydrakin Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 My main takeaway from the match was how awful Wycombe were with regards to time wasting and gamesmanship. How do you watch that on a weekly basis? It’s always gratifying to see a team wasting time, only for it to bite them on the bum by the end of the game… Ram-Alf, David Graham Brown and Kathcairns 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it might sound a bit stuck up but I don’t like it. I don’t like it when players dive or feign injury or a whole raft of stuff that cricket calls sledging. Of course it happens, I’m not naïve, it’s just part of the game, the heat of the kitchen but no way do I love it whether it’s them or us.

Houihane looked better with Knight biting next to him aswell. LR said we need to be more adventuress or words to that effect, The switch allowed CH to be more advanced where in games before he would play a more defensive role, NML was pivotal in getting forward, Plenty of space he "could have used", Shout out for Sibley with his week shot that bounced off their defender into the path of CH, We looked a team rather than a mix and match after the changes. I got a little angry the last few mins as we should have used the game management ploy ie taking the ball into their corners, But no we sat back and let their keeper kick long balls. Awful team are these fother muckers to watch, The most "beautiful manager in football...Ainsworth" had it stuck up him, They don't like it stuck up em, Couhig take that you asswipe ?

In other games, Conor has been anchored deeper because as we have seen before on several occasions, a midfield 2 of him and Max tend to get overrun and out-muscled at points in the game. When we switched systems yesterday, we had more bodies in the middle sector and Conor started taking up positions from which he could do damage. The rest, as they say, is history. In any case, I'm glad you're 'ecstatic' about the win and that the Rosey sledging is on hold, albeit briefly, I suspect. ariotofmyown, Ramarena and DRBee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game changed when the team woke up after 20 minutes of play, and started passing to each other. FYI, 14 shots with Bird on the field (xG of 1.2) 12 shots with Bird off the field (xG 0.7) 0-1 with Bird on, 2-1 with Bird off ?

I prefer it not to happen, but I have to confess some hypocrisy in this regard as if it were against the likes of the Whiny Wanderers, Leeds, the t**** who play in blue or Boro, I'd probably laugh myself silly. Not Forest though, or any other team really. Then I want us to win on merit leaving no doubt who was the better team. Pretty much like we did yesterday, in other words!

There's no doubt that bringing on Mendez Laing and Collins gave us more firepower upfront, although neither of them had any more luck with their shooting than the others. Apart from the first 25 minutes we mullered Wycombe and they were lucky it was only 2-1, but overall our shooting wasn't good enough. Bird had a couple of decent shots himself, but Hourihane is obviously more accomplished in the shooting stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 14 hours ago, Ghost of Clough said: A 6.6 rating in 55 minutes, despite being a goal down is pretty good. Hardly "shocking" or "a total shambles" as described by some. A rating higher than Barkhuizen and Roberts, level with Sibley. He played at least 30 minutes less than all of them too. Oh I agree fella. It's the system that was at fault and sadly Max will be the scapegoat, but he does look like he needs to regain confidence and whilst I understand Rosey's thinking in making him the skipper, I also think that was a mistake and came a year too early. I also think that he has yet to fill his frame and when he does, we'll start to see the player that he can be. The technical ability is there for all to see, should they care to look, but this is a more physical league than Max is used to and he's still quite willowy to my eye. As for my question, it wasn't in reference to Max. Not sure why you assumed it was as I like Max a lot. It was Joe Wildsmith I was curious about. For me he was MVP but I'm guessing Conor filled that slot but I'm curious as to how the statistical approach reflected Joe's second half performance, which was the best I've seen from a Derby stopper in a while. ariotofmyown, angieram, Ramarena and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
