Borodane 6,294 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Good second half although spurs did slow it down. I really feared a heavy drubbing midway through the first half. I liked the look of Nmecha although he clearly lacks some sharpness. Strong and quick though with a nice touch. Much more involved than fletcher. Against such attackers it was quite clear that we need actual defenders. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,490 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I will take that. I was scared after first 20mins we could get hugely embarrassed which could have a knock on effect on our confidence for next few weeks. Thankfully we did not and did well in 2nd half. Now will someone confirm Randolph's exit please... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So happy for him, had a hard time while he’s been here. But he’s been one of our better performers of late. He’s start at Fulham for me. Spence was our MOTM I thought. Wing, Mejias and Johnson the poorest I'd give motm to Saville. He changed the game when he came on 3 Link to post Share on other sites

We also gave them far too much respect in the first half. I think we can come out of that knowing we have some decent players, we are playing well and can cause any team problems. We still need a CB mind. Other positives: - Spence was superb - Nmecha looks a handful and has got 90mins under his belt - Tav, Coulson, Saville, Roberts, Pears all rested for Friday - Friend, Ayala, Dijksteel, Shotton, Britt to come back I think you have got it spot on there. Its mad looking at the players we have to come back 1 Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Just seen second goal. It was a good run from him which took our defenders by surprise. If they'd charged in and tackled him they'd have given away a penalty. Wasn't much they could do once he'd got away (which he wouldn't have done if our defenders had been in better positions to start with). Link to post Share on other sites
BoroBoy1989 229 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Dom Shaw in the gazette giving Howson a 5 and Liddle a 6...... is he serious? i realise Howson made an error in the build up to second, but apart from that he was good. Liddle looked like a lost schoolboy out there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Liddle looked like a lost schoolboy out there. He did, yeah. Big occasion to throw him into. I can't imagine the pressure caused by the early mistakes made him feel much better. Imagine prepping yourself for your first big game, gaffer has told you well in advance, you'd be running that through your head non stop for days. Then Mejias does what he does and the game plan pretty much gets thrown out the window. Can't have been an easy game mentally for him but the fact is he did look lost. Having said that, I don't think Howson had a particularly good game tonight. Certainly not on par with some of his recent performances. I think tonight he looked like a midfielder playing in defence, so I guess it was pretty on par with expectation. Link to post Share on other sites
