You’re almost completely right. But the word ‘should’ instead of ‘will’ cope is more accurate. I thought you did very well, and will probably reflect a regret that you didn’t take all three points. We didn’t deserve a point, imho. We had good spells early second half, but little else. Good luck for the rest of the season, that was a good turnout so far from home.
Thanks mate, Sheff Utd are the team to beat imo, we dominated them but got a player sent off after 30mins and still only got beat 2-1. I reckon we'll be in the mix with yous come May for promotion. What we did learn from today though is how small physically we are to a team like yous
In other words too slow and doesn't fit any sort of system? We'd probably waste it very easily - certainly have in recent years. We have a lot money coming in this season even without selling them and look nothing more than mid table fodder.
You know more than me mate, but I'd hate to get yous in a playoff final. Your the best team we've played so far in my opinion
Yeah, Hause shakes the ground when he walks! Sierralta didn’t play, but he’s a big lad. Kayembe is very solid but has beautifully swift and soft feet, he’s a real anomaly. I thought Sheff Utd were OK, but not great when we played them, but we’ve been horrible to watch since then. I thought your boy Roberts worked hard on the right.
Funnily enough he's only come into the team since Ross Stewart got injured. He never got a sniff 2 weeks ago
That’s kind. Very kind. I think we probably have the best squad, but as you’ve seen here, if Edwards thinks Cathcart is a better full back than Villarreal’s full back of the last however many years, then he (Edwards) is in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
I thought he was good. He’s not huge, and had some difficult players to face, but he worked hard relentlessly.
He is good. 2 weeks ago we played with a front 2 of Stewart and Simms though, both big lads and have scored about 10 goals between them. We now have no fit Strikers Roberts has come in and we've played a false number 9 like today and its working. 4 points away from home against yous and Reading is a big plus, so itll be interesting to see what Mowbray does when they are back
I don’t know. I tend to go with not changing a winning formula, and you could/should have come away with 3pts today, but how ‘old school’ is he? Would he be modern enough to stick with a false 9? Edwards is bloody naïve imho, we wasted the first half with 3 at the back, started the second with 4 at the back and a vision everyone could understand, but they’d given so much in the first half chasing shadows. I’m generally against changing managers too frequently, but this boy just doesn’t learn.
I genuineally wish you all the best for the season ahead mate after interacting on here. You seem like a good set of honest fans
Did you see Joao play behind Cathcart at one point?? It was quite deliberate. He went to play at RB, get the ball there, and play from there. It was first half, when Cathcart was right of back three. Cathcart is no ball player, he’s a good old CB. He didn’t want to lose possession and didn’t trust the quality of his own passing so kept playing inside to central CB (WTE). But Joao wanted the ball. **** this for a game of soldiers, he must have thought, if I have to go to Right Back to get ball, I bloody will! I mean what the hell does that say about his confidence in Edwards’ philosophy?
You boys need to see the season out with Edwards imo. Can't just go chopping and changing, see how it goes. Season or two in the championship would see you right. Best team we've played so far, big strong powerful team
Have to say a massive well done to Watford today. That 60 minute silence for the Queen was impeccable.
