Also buzzing for Longman, must have felt **** after the last game so was nice to hear the away support singing his name positively this time
It was very obvious the difference in workrate and chasing from a fresh Oscar v a run-ragged Longman. I love Oscar too but he needs to do a bit more Whitehurst-like fear of God chasing.
Oscar chases plenty. If he'd started in that line up he'd have had a bagful, there were so many great balls into the area today.
did some nice shoulder barges too, hassled them out of possession
he won 6 out of 9 of his duels and made 5 tackles, impressive for a “luxury who doesn’t want to be here”
Have to agree... Seri made it possible for everyone else to play....
Oh, they've decided that's now Tufan, not Seri.

Team sheet under the door dor the next game ....He and Acun clearly picked that starting 11.
Meddling ****s. We need a Mike Bassett type manager remember....
Oh, they've decided that's now Tufan, not Seri.
That's two great performances in a row from him. Hopefully an example for Tufan to follow.
Lol, that mindset needs shaking it’s a long season people blow hot and cold but talent usually remains.
it's not having a scapegoat for saying someones not doing enough
it's why football teams have a squad of 23+ players
tufan needed to be dropped and he should be again
it's up to him to get in the team again and if he does, we hope he plays well
seri was below par for ahwile, but he's been super last few starts
That’s if’s and maybe’s. The fact is Longman chased a lot more and a lot faster. Oscar’s closing down when he came on was barely walking pace. Longman was ace tonight.Oscar chases plenty. If he'd started in that line up he'd have had a bagful, there were so many great balls into the area today.

Discussed on the podcast the approach likely needed with Tufan, rotating him for this one was the right approach. May well come back in on the weekend to give him a chance to perform. Can't leave him out in the cold and risk putting him offside I don't think.
It's not really ifs and maybes to say he would have done well with the chances provided based on his goals to date.
i don't think we create those chances if he was on the pitch tonight, i like oscar, but he's a diff player to longman, our midfielders dont overlap and move anywhere near as much when oscar in on becasue he is always isolated in that middle area
he misses tetteh and allayah
Maybe our new head of performance analysis development thingy identified a way we could win tonight. Maybe it was to manage legs/fitness over a 3 game week or maybe it was just a hunch from Daws.
I had us for a draw, didn't see a comfortable win though, nor the selection.
Plenty to build on from tonight, and a little confidence as well to take into the weekend.
