No thanks, I remember my posts and never once called it a masterclass. Just said it was great concentration from all the players involved. We all know why you thought that, and it has nothing to do with my posts. Quote Link to comment

Bazooka Joe Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 I'm happy we bagged three points following our distracting, but enjoyable cup exploits. Winning is such a tonic. Now, where's me gin? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
reddogkev Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Didn't expect that win today, always nice to get a double over a decent Championship team. The race for the play offs is back on! Quote Link to comment

Tony Tootle Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Just watched the highlights. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but well played Harry Cornick. Looked like he was very influential in that first half performance. 2 Quote Link to comment

keflav Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Great game and really enjoyed it, was nice to see us take some of our chances (wish bell had just gone round keeper) and had fun giving the tall lad in white hoodie a bit of banter... Quote Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 If we get 4 points from the next 2, can we start to wonder just a little..? Quote Link to comment

Today and the unlucky penalty shoot out loss must be the starting point, a stable base and let's see how we build. Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Watching EFL Highlights, Leicester don't half get a lot of penalties. 10 in 31 League games. Yes as the top side I get why they will benefit, but their one at Watford was soft as anything. One of those potentially awkward middling yet unpredictable sides at home especially, early penalty in your favour sure helps. Quote Link to comment

Bazooka Joe Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Whatever he says we all know that James' goal celebration was really an impression of Chris Martin running at full pelt. Cornick's performance was an unexpected, but pleasant surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment
mozo Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I really enjoyed that slalom run Cornick went on to tee up Bell (I think it was?). I think we've got to credit Manning with the line up. That's the second game in a row in which I've looked at our starting 11 and fretted about how they will perform, and both games we got skill, nous and commitment. They knew their jobs and executed. It was clear from the sluggishness of Conway when he came on that Wells was the right selection. Equally, Mehmet wasn't able to match the standards of Cornick or Bell. LM has had a right job of trying to rotate the squad to keep us competitive and has nailed it. Quote Link to comment

LM has had a right job of trying to rotate the squad to keep us competitive and has nailed it. It’s funny, because I never fret about a starting line-up, least of all yesterday. Pring back, TGH back after a week’s rest, a group of players who’d been sensibly managed through 60 mins (start or sub) on Wednesday, etc. Plus a bench with 6/7 outfield players who could all come on without really worsening the team. LM’s rotation is better than Nige’s. He has had more players available to him though, so a tad easier to rotate in some respects. But under Nige I thought he made it too hard to be left out, even though I liked the consistency of his “selection policy”. But I’d rather he’d rotated like LM has. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah you said before kickoff that you were pretty happy with the squad and the options available. I'm evidently underestimating what Bell, Cornick and Wells can do as a trio, because I was surprised that they were so effective. Penalty miss and one on one fluff aside, Bell has done some really good work in the past two games. The lads are certainly getting opportunities. I said pre-game it was a big chance for Corns and he delivered. Equally, Roberts is getting gametime. In theory, Sheffield Wednesday will be the unicorn game for Manning. The squad will have had a full week to rest, recover and focus on tactics, and he'll have a more balanced squad to pick from. Twine and Sykes returning feels pretty big. Hopefully, Pring will be okay. 4 Quote Link to comment

Saves a lot of fingernails at 18:45 when the teams are announced. In my head, Bazuna is come charging out of his goal in the first minute and hack Wells down, get sent off, and the form guide goes out the window. That’s how I think before games where we are the underdogs. 1 Quote Link to comment

'Bazuna is come charging out of his goal to hack Wells down,trips and painfully twists his ankle but still gets sent off, misses wells who escapes uninjured' cant risk Nakhi getting injured in the first minute can we 1 Quote Link to comment

To go 5 at the back and just invite pressure for 45 mins was gambling. That paid off...considering we played 120 minutes plus Wednesday night the recovery time was minimal. I think you have to see why it was done. Quote Link to comment
