Ryan 7 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Best game from Marv i've seen in ages. Seemed back to his best with a number of excellent challenges and he was a commanding figure in the centre of the park. Well done Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cummins17 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Totally agree, marv looked back at his best and did a great job on keeping Nolan quite, im quite excited about seeing a elliott and hartley partnership in the centre for the rest of the season even though i have to say Skuse has been my player of the season so far but i feel we have to playy our best players and Hartley and Elliott are these!

petehinton Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 was quality to see him crunch into a few of their players, they seemed pretty ticked off they couldn't out muscle little Bristol City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsontour Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Elliot covered the sane amount of ground as usual, difference was that he did it in the area of the pitch that counts because he didn't have to cover his central midfield partner because he knew he would tackle back..Sorry for stating the obvious.

mindjuicer Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Was great to see him run at the defence late in the game and win that free kick. My jaw actually dropped at a couple of Hartley's passes. More like that, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 When Gutierrez (sp?) did a bit of skill and dribbled past about 3 players the whole Geordie filled bar I was in were laughing and cheering...then in comes Marv with a tackle from behind, winning the ball and off we go and attack. Up I jump singing. I'm suprised I didn't get beaten up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicdaps Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I love Marv, great to see him back to the kind of form that he was showing in the play off final season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 The one thing i noticed with Marv yesterday, was the amount of headers he won from goalkicks. Positioned just behind the front two. He flicked many headers on, that found there man. It became apparant it wasn't a fluke but a well thought out game plan. Playing a Midfielder in the position works, as it enables the ball to be flicked on to two forwards, rather than the usual one player. We have often used a tall forward (iwelumo) to do this, but it never worked, because there was often 3 defenders covering the other forward. Yesterdays 'Trident' worked very well. Nicky really does have to work on his strength though. Too many times yesterday, when winning the ball or in possession, he was easily shrugged off the ball. If he can develop that, then he would be a great striker and not just a great goalscorer. All imho of course.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
