ralphindevon Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Great to see him doing a lot of shouting and organising too, a real leader, something we’ve been missing for some time. Wether he can organise our defence enough to keep a clean sheet by be asking too much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I thought he was superb. Understandably tired near the end of the game, but 90-minute fitness will come as he plays more. I thought he was magical... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I thought it was a good performance but I’m not getting carried away as I’ve seen quite a few signings who’ve looked good at first and subsequently have been pants. An example is Jens Hegeler who was signed on a 2 1/2 year deal but only lasted approx 12 months. Conversely, I’ve seen a few who looked pants at first and subsequently were good. - e.g. Matt Smith who was “awful” at first. With Klose, I think his biggest problem will be his lack of pace. Tonight he was playing against a team that is bottom of the Championship form table over the last 6 matches. The test will be when he has to play against some decent pacy forwards 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 59 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Big ask to play him on the left of the 3, but very good. Some lovely passes & won a lot of headers. Penalty was a dive all day long. Tiny Timm was brilliant in the first half, and tired a little in the second, but didn't deserve to concede that penalty. More Tom Daley than Tom Ince, a triple twist with pike. He pulled a similar trick for Derby in a 3-3 draw some seasons ago. Bloody cheat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good communicator….and although Cundy had little to do, he’s making sure he’s vocal too. Cundy using his physique to ease his marker out of the way so Max can come and catch a ball into his mid-riff. Also charging down the shot that Williams deflected over. Positive signs of someone who wants to defend. Klose pretty good though, not always the quickest distributor. Showed his strength in the air, our midfielders will start to learn where to anticipate his aerial duels will land the more they play with him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klose is a very experienced guy, played in a promotion winning team at Norwich and played in the PL with them. He certainly knows his way around defending - however he’s had several knee injuries and it’s now a question of how long he can stay fit. If he can manage until the end of the season he may have earned a longer deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't see the pen clearly but good to know it shouldn't have been. We can almost count that as a clean sheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone is better than Davies or the doughnut from last night … As others have pointed out, at least Stroud is an equal opportunity idiot. Not-so-bonny Langford, last night's bloke, was so uneven I thought at one point in the second half his left arm had ceased to function as he kept using the right to indicate free kick and free kick for Reading. No wonder their midfielder Laurent gave him a little hug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Just watched his interview. What an impressive man. He offers so much, not only his footballing skills but his communication skills and the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch. A great addition to the squad. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 One thing I've noticed, is how vocal he is on the pitch. I love the fact he's only been here 2 minutes, but organised vocally from minute one. Typical German/Swiss...full of confidence in their own ability. We've been a vocally Quite team for a long time. I think it's becoming the norm in this country unfortunately. Noticeably different in other certain countries. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to sort ourselves out defending in and around our own box. If nige can’t sort that out this summer we are in for a horrible season next time around as there probably won’t be anyone with a massive points deduction next year. only the top 4 teams have scored more goals than us this season yet we are in the bottom half of the table with -14 goal difference.
