We were poor in midfield, Bennett not on song, and Vaulks just hacked at everything. Good win nonetheless
Come on, fair play to the lad for his hacking - he was having to do double time to cover for Ralls as well........
I thought Vaulks got better as the game went on. The change of shape benefited him. Okay he had one very wild shot and a very high volley but that apart I would give hime a 5 1/2 out of 10. Might have to go 4 4 1 1 against Norwich with more depth in midfield.
Hard fought win and while it convinced me of nothing, it would be churlish to say anymore than well done.
Been saying for some time that we need to start rotating the odd player. Not wholesale changes, just one or two to give players a rest. Oh, and £ucking subs earlier than the 89th minute.
Yes they were bad as well. Ojo needs a break. Bad performances yesterday from Vaulks , Nelson , Bennett , Ojo and Whyte. Theres a case for dropping them all.
Vaulks may keep his place as Ralls may come back for Ojo. Leaving a defensive midfield of Vaulks Ralls Pack. Hoillet for Whyte if fit. I wouldnt play that midfield but I reckon that will be it. The major transfer error was no cover at right back as our best combination is Ralls/ Bacuna with a no.10. Harris played well when he came on and will be pushing for a start.
Okay, Ralls for Vaulks, Bamba or Benkovic for Nelson (his first poor game for some time), Bagan or Cunningham for Bennett, Hoilett if fit for Ojo, Harris for Whyte. Don't know where Murphy was last night. I thought Tutu was going to be back mid December but no news on him. However I'm not sure about changing 5 of last night's team. Ojo and Bennett need a rest having played most games. Whyte can't play at this level but those 3 are the only ones I would change. I'm not looking forward to Saturday's visit to the Canaries cage.
Y'know Bluey - I think we're actually going to beat them. (reaches for medication ) Funnily enough, we're 11/4 against to take the points across there - exactly the same odds as I got for Wilson scoring anytime last night. I stuck 28 quid on him (see result below) so I've just put exactly the same stake at exactly the same odds on City to win on Saturday. please log in to view this image
You're on a roll Sparks. Hope you carry on stuffing the bookies. I just worry what Pukki is capable of doing when he loses Morro.
Five wins from six games....not bad eh...so where did it all go wrong? Captain Pugwash book for sale...Seaman Stains page missing!
