fka dagest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Well deserved victory for the boys, having played some lovely stuff too. Is it me or are we playing less hoof ball since GJ left? anyway, my particular observations: David Cotterill - what a prat. Actually, make that a crap prat. On today's peformance, I'd take JCR everytime. Lee Trundle - he really can't be up to much if he can't break into their forward line. Swansea City - how are they in the top 6? Mike Dean - pretty good performance, I thought. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fka dagest Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Trundle wasn't allowed to play for them today Oh I know, but the point was he's been on the bench all season hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Dean - pretty good performance, I thought. Thank you. Can't agree about Mike Dean. I thought he was very inconsistant. Do agree about the City performance, but it was always going to be a low scoring game. The Jacks have the second lowest goals conceded tally behind Newcastle and one of the lowest scored for tally and you could see why today. They have very little threat up front. City looked good in patches and as you say nowhere near as much hoofball as earlier in the season. Possibly could have done with a bit more width on the right but at least Millen brought on the turbo charged Sproule in time for him to effect the game. I was impressed with all four accross midfield who bossed Swansea for most of the game. Good City performance and a deserved 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellRedPhil Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 That's exactly the kind of game we would've drawn or lost a couple of months ago. In some ways, seeing us battle and take 3 points with that kind of performance is more pleasing than seeing us dominate. Fantastic spirit from the team and we look defensively solid...FINALLY!!

Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 4 across midfield??? We went 4-4-2 when Sproule came on, of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 4 across midfield??? Elliot, Hartley, Skuse and JCR. You say it was 4-3-3 but JCR was playing deeper - so 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC_Red Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Elliot, Hartley, Skuse and JCR. You say it was 4-3-3 but JCR was playing deeper - so 4-4-2. bollocks. It was 352. I can understand you not knowing formations of games your not at, but to have no idea when your actually there is a bit odd but not too surprising I suppose.

fka dagest Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 thought it was 3-5-2 myself. Mind you JCR seemed to be playing the free role at times, which I liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 bollocks. It was 352. I can understand you not knowing formations of games your not at, but to have no idea when your actually there is a bit odd but not too surprising I suppose. we played 3-5-2. but 4 of the 5 are midfielders. Orr plays as a midfielder but will always be classed and described as a defender. therefore, when he said the midfield 4, personally I understood what he meant. Perhaps some people just dislike others so much they will find anyway to have a go at someone despite the lack of need for such. Back to the subject though. I do agree, the 4 midfielders all did well, though I'm at a loss as to how Elliott got MOM? Did feel we missed Riberio today, the other 3 didn't do much wrong, but we do look better and have a greater balance with Carey in the middle with Ribs and Fontaine/Nya either side of him. most important thing today though other than the 3 points, was A CLEAN SHEET AT HOME!!!

That would make sense if he hadn't called it a 442 which it clearly wasnt to anyone with eyes and an understanding of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Right, I've cleared out several posts of playground name calling after reports. Is it safe to leave this thread now and trust you to act like adults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
