JoeAman08 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Last 2 have been the kind of performances I have been begging for since NP has been here. Minus Naismith we could have played this team for the last 12 months. I am glad the epiphany has happened now though. High energy, well organised and quality on the ball. This is a side, with some luck, you can see growing into the season and pushing a playoff spot with still 2 of our 5 best(most likely) players to return. We went from being the side with a good 10-20 minutes spell to the side that has to deal with the other sides best 10-20 minute spell. The game was almost over after the first goal and you could feel them sink into surrender mode after the second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see how we have the squad depth for any better than 10th which was my prediction before a ball was kicked. We still get our fair share of injuries even if that has improved and Williams can’t play Saturday and Tuesday If you can finish 10th you can finish 4th. The league is too competitive. We see it every year. 2-3 teams pull away at the top. 4-12 is a difference of 10 points or so. We arguably played better on Tuesday without Williams. Yes midfield could get light but that is the championship. A bit of luck this team could 100% finish higher than 10th. Bad luck can still be in a relegation battle. It’s the championship.

We carved out the better chances IMO, Conway should’ve scored from an identically position Wells scored from in midweek, and then Conway should’ve picked out Wells for a tap-in — both before we got our first. That’s me splitting hairs in what was another solid team performance, mind. Edited August 21, 2022 by tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still get our fair share of injuries even if that has improved and Williams can’t play Saturday and Tuesday I agree that mid table would be fair progress this year. But after the week we’ve just had, I’m not sure I’d take it if offered right now. If we can hit that level of performance consistently, I reckon we would make the play offs. We’ve set the bar, now the challenge is to maintain that standard for the rest of the season. Also nice that we appear to have found a formula that is entertaining AND capable of winning matches and keeping clean sheets. It’s been a long time since we’ve had that.

But the outcome of any match is always the product of both teams performances, and I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to replicate the Luton performance against a side playing better than they were, or adopting more effective tactics against us - irrespective of Luton’s result against Swansea, they weren’t very good against us on Tuesday. Delighted that we again played very well and again got the win, obviously, and that a different team failed to stop us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Ok the first half, just about edged it I think, missed Scott being in the middle a little. 2nd half Cardiff started well, but we got stuck into them a bit more, battled well and then started outplaying them. 2nd half was Luton mk2 with the pressing and the outstanding tackles from Scott, Williams and Massengo. This side has slowly transitioned under NP from a side who could barely muster a shot on target most weeks to a team who have 4 or 5 players who could easily get double figures at this level. Got to hand it to the team, after two defeats to start we've bounced back rather well and probably say a decent start to the season. We look better than last season and stilll have Kalas and Semenyo to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could anyone want you’re own club to fail. I’ve said it many a time. I didn’t like how Steve cotterill came across , very arrogant , but I’d never want our team to fail .
