TomThumb84 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Great result. Came out the blocks fast, set-up well and we can kick on from here now. Vital to get that win and lets get the Gate rocking Friday and get behind Nige and the boys. The relief from the whole of the side was palpable. Special mentions for Weimann, Matty James, and Danny Simpson - a calm, assured and experienced full-back display. Onwards and Upwards you Redsssss.

Looked shattered at the end too and they wanted it. Looked like a team. The press was fantastic all night and as I suspected it may be that the rot had set in and confidence had drifted and the “knowing” how to win had been forgotten. We just needed to break that. We are going in the right direction. Well drilled, dangerous from set-pieces, and dynamic on the break. We may go on a little run now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 The energy injected by Massengo was essential. The only thing missing from his game tonight was he should have taken a yellow and clipped Moore earlier in his run. Harsh maybe as that just seemed like a really weird goal, but it was never going to be easy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yepp, feels like a very important win for the psychology of the team. Friday (vs Swansea) is a great opportunity to pick up more points on build some momentum. Hoping for a good atmosphere under the lights at AG!

Offside Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 A crucial win. Especially because we held out after they got their second goal. Hopefully confidence in protecting a lead is now restored following those Blackpool and FGR games when we conceded so late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully confidence in protecting a lead is now restored following those Blackpool and FGR games when we conceded so late. The nagging doubt is if we go into the last 10 with a single goal lead. We still conceded a fairly late, straight forward goal, luckily we had a cushion. We need to avoid the temptation to sit deeper and deeper, take control of the ball and keep it. It's really easy to say and 100% they know it. When you're tired and the opposition can just "fling it in the mixer" it's harder to keep chasing and just try and defend your box. Work to do, some of it down to confidence. But a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Interesting that most of the emphasis has been on finding a ‘ proven goalscorer ‘ when we have scored in every match. The problem is that if we need to score two goals every game just to get one point then we are going to struggle. The signs are encouraging though.

Personally think pace and creativity are more vital. We have goal scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I don't understand this new concept, "3 points", "A win" - can someone enlighten me? #COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
