One of my mates growing up used to specialise in pulling munters, less effort as far as he was concerned, you’d lose him after about 20 mins in the Studios or Papillons on a Sat night only for him to reappear on the Sun lunchtime in the pub… At least I guess he always had someone in the taxi, mine was always the taxi for one to Miss Millie’s on Broadwalk..

SydneyCity Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Fantastic team performance. A big round of applause for McCrorie on the third goal as well. He showed what a huge difference looking up and around before passing makes. Beautiful ball and lovely finish from Cornick. 9 Quote Link to comment
cellist Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Gutted couldn't watch it tonight. What a brilliant result and performance by the sounds of things. Seems like we need to sign Williams up for a new deal - him and James controlled the game according to BBC. COYR Quote Link to comment

Over the 90 minutes I would score him a 6. Definitely not the only one. It's great he gets in those positions so often as he needs to for one to come off. I remember Akinbiyi being someone who many said if he scored even a third of the decent chances he had would have scored 30-40 a season. Anis could be the same in terms of assists Quote Link to comment

Guaranteed a pull. Quote Link to comment
Ska Junkie Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 46 minutes ago, Jerseybean said: My first half thoughts included this: Thought we played with composure, intensity, professionalism, and desire. throughout that 45 minutes. The frustrating ‘nearly’ bit is when we get around or into their box it’s nearly, nearly, nearly, every time as the final ball has been lame either to a defender or their keeper, that is the huge area for improvement. Memheti, Bell, Roberts, have all been guilty of delivering a very weak final ball, following very enterprising and I catching approach play. The top teams have that ruthless, clinical edge in the final third that we are blatantly lacking at the moment. Second half we played just as well, however, we very much did deliver quality balls in the final third (even if the first goal came from a pass from an off side position.) Without wishing to over react that was one of the most complete team performances from us in a league game (against a very good opponent) in a very long time. Well done all the players and the staff. We even scored following a throw in, when did that last happen!? Only disappoint was not keeping a clean sheet. So, we have shown in recent weeks what a solid / capable team we can be against two premier league teams and certainly did so again tonight against a team high on confidence and likely to be in the promotion hunt at the end of the season. A very good performance and a well deserved three points. Well played you Reds! It wasn't offside, it came of their bloke, into the path of Mehmeti didn't it? 3 Quote Link to comment

Honestly if anything summed up Mehmeti, it was the assist. Got himself into a good area, decent bit of skill, miss places an easy pass, yet somehow works in his favour and gets the ball back, delivers a brilliant goal-ball after. 4 Quote Link to comment

I have to agree Pete, so frustrating, as he has all the skills to be excellent. Maybe he should be more 'off the cuff'. 1 Quote Link to comment

In all seriousness, I hope you go up this season, as Leeds should be in the Prem, and we don’t want to play you next season ! We have the same issue with Wolves. No matter how good / bad we are, the game always ends in defeat. We might HAVE to ! Quote Link to comment

Aye. Dickie was shattered at the end. We could really do with Naismith getting fit and staying in one piece for a bit, if only to give Dickie a well earned rest. Vyner is just a supreme athlete. 2 Quote Link to comment

The ball he swept out to Hayden Roberts on the run when we were breaking was particularly good as it was into space on the left for Roberts to run into. We have been crying out for passes like that! 1 Quote Link to comment

Want to make sure I book it off Well you never know, I think we may be on the cusp of finally having a team we can all believe in, I watched us tonight and you know what we are not as far off being competitive as some on here would have you believe, we beat West Ham, narrowly lost to Nottingham Forrest over two legs, beat Boro away and beat a team deservedly that had forgotten what it was like to lose, come on don't you think the same? I'm so proud of us tonight. Edited February 14 by pillred 3 Quote Link to comment
