Bs4Red Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 First off what a win, absolutely buzzing and what a better feeling it is being in the right end of a late goal. Awful awful first half but what a change second half and let's be honest, only one person can take credit. LJ saw that we were ineffective, brought Kodjia and Freeman off who were both awful and chucked Bobby and Odenwigne on. What a difference, Bobby come into the pitch and finally we had a player passing forward and making forward runs. Man of the Match goes to Marlon who even without his goal was absolutely fantastic today. Commanding and excellent on the ball. Great free kick from Tomlin after playing rather poorly. BUZZING, 3 wins away now I reckon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yes. I am with you. Was unsure about the subs(Kodjia anyway). Wilbs didn't look very good first half. What happened though was that we subbed off our two worst offenders of holding onto the ball too long. This proved to be genius as everyone else moved it quick and efficiently breaking Fulham's pressing down. What a lovely result and hats off to LJ for making a decision that could've proved quite unpopular. Doesn't care what your name is, if you're not doing what is asked, you're off.

Nomad Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks for the summary @Bs4Red Freeman's been the weak link all season. No idea why he's been so bad, maybe the step up is too much for him. BR seems to play much better away from AG but if I were LJ I'd be picking him every time over LF.

The pressure of being our playmaker but creating little has got to him in my opinion. he has tried harder and harder in all the wrong areas and his confidence has dropped in relation.

BarnzFM Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Think that sums up a few of most recent games - to many players that hold onto the ball for a while, it's good to have a few but you need the runners to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Bobby Reid is direct on the ball compared to our other players, I think this makes a big difference going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yes - well done to Lee J. Taking off Freeman and Kodjia was a gamble as they have been regulars in the team. But, as has been said, they are the two players guilty of over elaboration, so he did something about it. I don't think Cotts would have made two substitutions at half time.

Totally with you mate, thought Wilbs was absolutely useless as per and Tomlin held onto it too long again but that's what he's our side for, moments of absolute MAGIC. Over the moon for the boys and especially LJ and Bobby who both get extremely uneccessary flack at times. YOU REDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were much quicker to 50/50 balls in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a kid any more,he is a good player and if he doesn't know how to simplify his game now he never will.players do find form or confidence,he's just lucky our squad is paper thin that he has to start or be on the bench,any team in the top 10 and he wouldn't make the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hats off to LJ. I must admit I was very surprised by the changes, even though Freeman was poor and collectively we were dismal first half. Decisive & brave changes by LJ & he deserves full credit. Do people still want Warnock now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairweather Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Brilliant atmosphere from the city fans. Brilliant win after an awful first half and yes very decisive changes at half time. Brilliant for me because my daughter came to her first game and is now hooked so I am no longer just dependent on my son being free to go to games.

And even then Golbourne is a left back, not strongest as a wing back, and given SC showed no sign of changing from 3-5-2 he probably wouldn't have wanted/played him!

Very much a marathon not a sprint. Warnock's side won't go down with a whimper as today proved. If anything it's shows there character. If Johnson has done the business at the end of the season then great. That's what we all want, doesn't mean I have to agree with his appointment. Like I said, great win though. 3 vital points. Fair play to him for turning it around after the 1st half showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
