YGBjammy Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Bell's involvement in both goals was class. Wonder how he's feeling waking up this morning! Quote Link to comment

IAmNick Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 What a great first goal. 3 of our players hunting 2 of theirs in a tough position on the halfway line, win the ball and it's in the net 5 seconds later. Brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sir Geoff Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Was at the game last night so haven't read all these pages. Despite a brilliant dogged team display I thought Alex Scott was very disappointing. The game seemed to pass him by. Joe Williams was a massive upgrade on the night and was instrumental in us winning. 2 Quote Link to comment

Fair play to you and the others who made the effort to get to the game.. bet it was a fantastic experience. And great to hear of a brilliant dogged team display. COYR’s Quote Link to comment
Jerseybean Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just watched the highlights what a great winner the ball from King and the direct pace of Bell were a thing of beauty, unlike our defending from the throw that led to their goal. Quote Link to comment

ciderwithtommy Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Love the fact we won that when clearly there’s a bit of needle between the players - it’s what it’s all about! I went to home game but sadly not last night, however in the game at AG I noticed quite a lot of verbals and a few niggly arguments, winning against teams you don’t like is a great learning curve for our youngsters.

KegCity Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 5 hours ago, Percy Pig said: I mean, let's not pretend that a) other than the result that that was a good watch and b) the formation had anything to do with it, it was a display of guts and resilience, similar to the games against Millwall and Cov. (I'd argue we showed far more enjoyable football in those games, too). That we won doesn't make 433 the golden goose you want it to be. If anything today highlights a number of the weaknesses to that formation. Too easy to dominate as there is too much space between our press. That’s your opinion, I personally think there’s a noticeable difference in how we play and it’s what I’d prefer to watch. If you don’t then fair enough, I don’t think it’s a “golden goose” or whatever I just think we play with a bit more purpose and at a faster pace in 4-3-3. I’m not a fan of the 3-5-2 as we seem to struggle to work the ball up the pitch and that’s been my biggest criticism of Pearson. It’s not perfect (nothing is in football) I just prefer it to the formation we’ve stuck with through 3+ years of turgid football. As someone that was just about Pearson Out after WBA I’m pleased with the response from the side and hope this continues. Sorry I’m trying to give the boys some credit! Quote Link to comment

Do you really think it’s been turgid? What about WSM last season, some of early season this season, etc? If you do, fair enough, but you’ll surprise me if you do! Nor have we stuck with a formation either? I still remember the moaners early last season when we were playing a back 4. 1 Quote Link to comment

I still remember the moaners early last season when we were playing a back 4. Of course we’ve had some good runs mixed in but by and large we’ve not had great results and 3-5-2 appears to have been the predominant formation, although stats may prove me wrong. We’ve struggled to climb up the table for several seasons, and of course there are plenty of contributing factors for that, but 3-5-2 has been one (of many) consistent factors during this run. Turgid may be a tad strong as we did score a lot of goals (whilst also conceding them by the bucket load) with WSM but ultimately we haven’t exactly been drowning in wins in recent years whilst mainly using wingbacks. I’m not a fan of the formation at any level unless you have elite wingbacks for the standard, so maybe personal biases are getting in the way. Its definitely not down to just the formation, it’s just nice to see a fresh idea introduced that appears to have helped the team play at a higher tempo. 1 Quote Link to comment
