Rev Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Watching today, it occurred to me I've not felt anxious about conceding from a set piece, or general play while under the cosh, for quite a while. I just don't see us giving a cheap goal away anymore, or succumbing to a prolonged period of pressure. Nowadays, once we enter the last 20 minutes with a lead, I'm pretty sure we'll hold on through any normal sort of pressure, and it'll take something special to breach us. This is a massive change from the last decade+, and puts me very much in mind of wee Billy's promotion season. Is this the best We've been coached since, or is it the personnel that are making us so secure? chewbacca, ck-, Carnero and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Best defence since ojay Simpson 🤷🏻♂️ Crewton, Jourdan and Boycie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On the Ram Page Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I think playing a proper right back in Nyambe helps no end, rather than Wilson/Ward option Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I certainly think the defence, backed up by an excellent keeper, has been very good the last two games. Long may that continue. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hennessy Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Good points. I really like Nyambe... He's a beast of a defender...but the defence generally is pretty good. I like the new goalie... he's like Peter Shilton used to be - worth a goal's start. Also I think the new midfield is better at protecting the defence. In previous seasons opposition players were able to charge through our midfield... not any more. Equally we defend from the front too. IMO in Warney and co we have the best management team since wee Billy. Time will tell. Cheers. Terry. UTR Rev and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 1 hour ago, i-Ram said: really good to see more posts recently from you Rev. Agreed. On a Sunday as well, just feels right. Anyhow, the defence. The last 2 games I would say yes, Cardiff did have a little spell after Ozoh went off where it would have been nice to have a 2 goal cushion to relax a little more. Although it was maybe 10 mins at most, we seemed to settle again and yeah, didn’t feel like my ticker was being tested. As good as the defence has been, I think you have to give a lot of credit to the midfield, Ozoh and Ebou in particular, been a while since I can remember such physical presence in front of the defence.
