I think not. Can't agree with Stroller. I thought we were better than represented by his view. Assuming MW is the manager we hope he is, we will continue to improve too.
Just saw highlights on quest....lovely comments about club and HQ looked magnificent..... Good point against a side with £100m in the bank from being one of the worst sides in top flight history..... 4 points better than this time last season.... Challenge on manning looked poor and should have been red.....fine header by hall... All in all very positive... Up the R's
- I disagree, I thought we were very poor and created very little chances. - Possibly, but if Bacuna was red carded like he should’ve been you would’ve gone on to win, most likely. - aye. - Ta, likewise.
Cheers fella. Unfortunately, me thinks that the chairman won’t have the balls and we’ll be stuck with him for the next couple months.
Just seen highlights too. Def pen. Clear red. Lino MAJORLY bottled it as right under his nose. Poor. (Unless anyone can explain why not a red??). However, most of us would have taken 4 points after 2 games so happy overall.
No, there's enough there to say we'll be OK, but we need to make more chances. Hugill was very isolated.
Not every team will sit so deep and their defence was very solid. If Kane takes over from Rangel it will give us a proper outlet from full-back on both sides. It was too often down to Manning to sling a hopeful ball in because Eze was marked by about six bouncers. When Chair came on they were far more stretched.
Random day-after thoughts: Huggill is a Jamie Mackie clone and while his non-stop running will endear him he won't provide enough goals as a lone striker. Cameron is going to be key for us if he can stay fit. At the centre of just about everything yesterday and you can see the other players looking to him. Chair looked very good when he came on. He must surely start in preference to Scowen who was awful. Not the best game for BOS but he must be given a run in the team. Eze is as frustrating as ever. A sublime first 15 and very influential again in the last 15 but disappeared in between. If he gets double teamed we need to be able to take advantage of the space that creates. Manning looked very comfortable and didn't put a foot wrong. My MotM. Barbet was very good at finding the dead centre of the wall at free kicks. Rangel looked jaded. We will be seeing much more of Kane I think.
If someone offered me an away win at stoke with lots and lots of positives and a home draw against a newly relegated premier league team, I would have bitten their hands off, especially after what we have become accustomed to over the last few years. I feel that this season is going to have more positives than negatives for us, the fans. I knew after last seasons loan spell away that Chair was some player. We seem to have options all over the park for positions. We are looking to play the correct way. I feel for once, we are progressing in the right direction and its bloody refreshing.

It really bugs me to hear people talk about playing the 'correct' way or 'proper football' as if anything that doesn't involve countless meaningless passes is somehow invalid. Yes, I much prefer to see a passing game over a hoof-ball game, but a passing game can be every bit as boring if there is insufficient forward momentum or end product. Eze's goal against Stoke was a glorious example of how playing out from the back with positivity can have exhilarating results, but I recall finding Brendan Rogers's Swansea side, with its constant sideways and backwards passing, unbearable to watch. I've been accused of being too negative about yesterday's performance, but I thought the first half (apart from some bright moments from Eze early on) was just plain dull. It improved in the second half (not least due to the introduction of Kane and Chair), but I thought that Huddersfield were there for the taking and we really should have won the game. As you say though, we are going in the right direction, and I think there's good reason for optimism.
Yeah I think the term has been misused a lot. Nothing is more dull than that Swanselona ****e from a few years ago and Stam’s Reading team.
Just watched the Official's extended highlights through 3 times. They show brilliance from Eze, BOS, and Chair. If they can keep that going we ought to be safe. If they can can add clinical finishing, like sending the Keeper one way and shooting the other, we could go far. Very good goal from Hall, and Cameron looked good again. What worried me was the lack of speed on the left side of our defence highlighted both by the penalty they won, and the one where a yellow for diving was given. Cane will hopefully give us that right side, but who if anyone has that left side?
A couple of games in and we are at it again who are we going to blame the worse this season looks like the Rat I like him I have no idea the type of football we are playing as haven’t watched us live this season We played some excellent football last season at one point I think we have no idea how the team will evolve and what skills MW has We have started well and that’s it for me safe bet for me it we will lose 7-1 at home at one point during the season and it will be fun to read the formations on here Another 3 points and I fully expect TF to enter the stage like Ronald McDonald
It's all about opinions stroller. The correct way to me is passing and moving. I have seen hoof ball and time wasting for the last few years which to me, was the incorrect way. I've never mentioned countless meaningless passes in my post but now that you have, I would still much prefer to see them then what we have been used to.
No argument from me about what's preferable Bob, just the correct and incorrect descriptions. I would certainly agree that pass and move is the way to go, but there needs to be more forward impetus and goal threat than we saw in the first half yesterday.
Yes, the 'countless meaningless passes' was my phrase, with reference to Rogers's Swansea. I just hope we'll have a bit more flexibility about the way we play. Sometimes, I would say, there's also a place for more direct (or 'incorrect', if you like) play. When Ferguson had Giggs and Kanchelskis marauding down the flanks, they didn't pass it around a dozen times before getting the ball to them, and that wasn't hoof-ball.
Well I cant comment on that as I didnt witness it, so I will take your word on that. Sometimes patience and moving the ball, even without going forward, may be boring but it's working the other team.
