BCFCGav Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 My MotM too, Max also a contender (I’m forgiving him the pass to Vyner!). Anis had two moments of brilliance today, but I think MotM was… generous 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Didn't rate mehmeti atall today, yes he does the hard stuff easy but can he please just do the simple stuff Roberts played excellent I thought 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Thought Pring was outstanding. Max MOM and Roberts and James mentioned in despatches. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That level of composure on ball at back with way we want to play under manning makes a massive difference. At least it did today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Mine too, outstanding. Didn’t shirk the physical side, quick & good on the ball. Pring was also excellent as were Dickie & James (as usual). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Said exactly the same his best performance for us today, think Max was MOM for me though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I said in the matchday thread. Roberts, James and Pring were all excellent. I exclude O’Leary from that as his mistake led to a golden chance and his other saves were down to poor finishing from Vardy. 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I agree with! Pring and Robert’s had Ndidi and Fatuwu to deal with and defended well against them both, but Max’s saves puts him out as MOM, James bought calm to the midfield and I think playing Knight further back helped us as well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Roberts played in his natural position today and it showed. Playing him on the left side of a back three allows Pring to play as a wing back which adds a bit of extra defensive cover and extra attacking bite in midfield 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC31 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Was interesting to see him have such a good game at centre back giving that is where he played all season for Derby County and there fans said they thought he was better at CB then full back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Played an interesting position today , but played it well. I thought he and Pring rotated really well. MotM is a decent shout. Knight was good , thee were a few that were ok, but I thought he stood out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I really like him as a player and hope we keep him long term. Good decision not to let him go out on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 My MotM too and said as much after. Was absolutely faultless especially in possession. Also a big fan of how fast we were to second balls. Every. Single. Time. We were first. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so noticeable, that and we always had players on the edge of the box when we attacked to get a second bite of the cherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 MotM for me , playing an interesting role , at least from my alcohol infected eyes. Seemed to be a CB that stepped out to almost man mark at times. I thought him and Pring looked a brilliant combination , specially as he sees himself as a more forward looking player.

RedEyez Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Very good at LCB today. I think he’ll be a real star there if LM persists with that sort of formation. Another gem unearthed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticeable that ZV attached himself to KDH when he got into our final 30. And we were happy to go 3v3 with a WB ready to tuck-in. Too often in the past we’ve gone 3v1 and been overworked in midfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked Manning, keep it this way, possibly like to see Sykes ahead of Tanner on the right. Albeit McCrorie was a threat when he came on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that Manning has done is counter other teams threats. He studies teams and does a lot of work watching sides, we know that . Against sides like Leicester , it's easier IMO, they give you room to play, that hasn't been our problem. It's how we beat sides that sit in and how we get those players on the pitch to hurt teams. Today against a good side I thought Tanner would start , better defensively than McCrorie . I don't think Plymouth will sit in, but I think McCrorie may start to give us more going forward. As for Sykes , he would be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. Just coming on he seems to up the energy and work rate. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsham Alf Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 He’s a very good player. So comfortable on the ball with excellent passing range. Uses the ball far better than Cam who I do like. Has fully earned an extended run in the side and I expect him to be a regular herein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that if LM continues to play 3421 Sykes for Twine makes summer recruitment easier? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a much improved McCrorie performance from his damp squib appearances recently. Makes me think he's back fully fit again and ready to contribute.
