southvillekiddy Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Good lord - we've worked out how to defend - Brilliant result City. Well done for stengthening the defence. A revolutionary new move by our Club. How often have we hung on to a 1 nil away from home for 45 mins let alone 89 minutes in living memory? Last I can remember was Tranmere Away flipping years ago - Lita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was pleasing, apart from the cutback where Maenpa produced a wonderful save, we limited there chances to long range efforts. Didn’t have any clear cut chances from what I could recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest we didn’t hang on for a point apart from maybe 10 minutes in second half and this was because LJ set out our team to win,the big dissatisfaction against Middlesbrough was that he set out to stop them rather then play to our strengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you concentrate on the opposition's game rather than your own it's very difficult to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be but they are being sensible financially, have raised a good deal of money from selling players and are putting their faith in a young coach. Seems familiar. Commendable imo and I hope it works out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 It is a good result for sure but Swansea did not look very good. Credit to us for sure. Just did not realise I was the only one that thought we could get a result today.

robintherobin Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Before today we had only a single one-nil win from our previous 51 matches. (Home to Ipswich last season.)

We are frequently 1 nil up at that time but then fade defensively and end up with a draw or loss. I hope today's result, following the magnificent win on tuesday signals that at last we know how to hang onto a slender lead (maybe Kalas' arrival was crucial in this today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southvillekiddy Posted August 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 My OP idea is that it has been rare for us to protect an early lead for a long period of time (by continuing to attack and not sitting back?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually was an enjoyable listen. He said the main target he set his team at the start of the season was ‘keep 17 clean sheets’, and if they did that they would go up. Seemed a bit random, and maybe summed up how he approached last season, but they did and they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 One of the best I remember wasForest away a few years back live on Sky on a Bank Holiday Monday. Chris Wood pen and they battered us. The defence, Louis in particular had a blinder. It was the first time we`d won at Forest for about fifty years.
