Port Said Red Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 A lot of has been said in recent seasons about the lack of entertainment at the Gate, but there are signs that this is starting to change. Of course 2 back to back come from behind wins help, but there is also some style in our play too. Most of all, it's also worth noting that we have already scored as many goals at home as we did in all 23 games last season. Personally I find watching the kids learn week by week the most entertaining thing of all. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waconda Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yes you are right. Absolute massive improvement in performances and entertainment since the Manager came back the second time (Blackburn home). The few games before that point were some of the worse I have ever seen in 45 years. Very entertaining and hopeful currently, credit to all.

grifty Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 We score goals now, create chances but most importantly seem to have more of an identity in the way we are playing football whether thats building from the back in the centre of midfield, then out wide or fast breaks on the counter attack. It got to the point I genuinely thought our game plan relied on the other team making a mistake at the back for us to try and capitalise on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or rather than Nige returning being the catalyst, maybe having certain players available too??? From having Williams, King and James all out injured, we had at least one of them back. We had an international break too to work on things. The four games before that weren’t great (West Brom, Barnsley, Brum, and Cov), although Barnsley we won having been behind, but they were poor also. The Forest game that preceded that was a decent performance, yet we lost 2-1 with a v.late collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Williams/James came in and we switched to a 3-5-2, attempting to play through the lines instead of lumping it. This system suits the players we have available. BUT maybe not tonight ?

Rossi the Robin Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Doesn’t happen overnight, see QPR, Blackburn etc Helps having Semenyo coming into form - I do worry if we’d be the same if unavailable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semenyo seems to have really come into his own. But we have such a small squad it seems that most of them are vital! Kalas, James, Williams etc. I’d be more than happy to get a point tonight btw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I'm thoroughly enjoying watching the team these days, which I haven't been able to say for a couple of years. Only 6 clubs have scored more than we have, but unfortunately only two have conceded more. We have some very good young players and our progress is being guided by a manager who clearly knows what he's doing. Very optimistic about the next two years.

The turtle Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Since and including QPR, the team has been different. The goals are a result of it, not the entertainment. The energy and intent has been there, so even if mistakes are made in application, fans respond positively. A circle of positivity has essentially been created by energy and intent. Long may it continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
