Obviously it's a great debate to be having, but is Webster better than Kalas? I think it's very close. Webster probably has more to his game but out and out defending Kalas maybe shades it.

Best thing is the consistency over the full 90. We look just as solid with '21 seconds to go' as we do in the first minute. (That was awful but it was the best i could come up with!)

Major Adam Webster and Sir Tomas Kalas steady as she goes at the back Lock up your daughters (wifes more to the point) Mr. Palmer Sir Marlon Pack running the damned show Chaps you would give an arm and a leg to have beside you in the trenches So many memories, now where did I leave snuff box?

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 It`s worth bearing in mind that great though the `two in eight` conceded is we`ve only let in eight in total in this fourteen game unbeaten run and four of those came in the first two games of it, Ipswich away and Norwich at home. Take those out and the one v Bolton in the cup we`ve only let in three in the last ten league games ( 1 v Bolton, 1 v Derby and 1 v Brentford). Pretty impressive stuff.

Ipswich was the first game then Norwich the 4th. However whichever way we look at it, it's very impressive! Another aspect to extrapolate extremely worthy of note- post that Ipswich game, 5 away games 1 goal conceded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the Millwall goal too so take out the two lots of two it`s still only four in the rest which, given five were away as you say, is good stuff. The three home ones were all totally avoidable as well but we seem to have learned from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Wasn't the 1905 run the record breaker where we ended up on 14 league wins? That record stood for decades until Chelsea equalled it at some point and then Man City broke it last season with 18 wins I think? You can technically argue that we therefore retain the record for Football League wins - if you distinguish between the Premier League and the Football League. May be wrong, this is off the top of my head, but I think that's correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Norwich's goals was very good I thought but the rest I tend to agree with yeah, pretty avoidable in the main. At very least we should have beaten Millwall and kept a clean sheet v Bolton- the goal in the League game felt a complete give-away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is; and long may it continue. Struggling to understand how we let awful Reading score 3 against us back in November (Webster and Kalas both played).

Reading are a poor side yet one who can pull the odd useful result of of the bag. Beat Nottingham Forest, drew with Aston Villa in the last month at their place. They had 3 shots on target and scored 3 goals against us...just football isn't it- like our loss at Wigan, conceded 1 shot on target, lost 1-0- if it was predictable and all went to plan, well it'd be less of a sport. Frustrating but then we pick up unexpected or less likely results too- it's why we all like the sport. However on a tactical note, the system wasn't quite right then IMO.
