Exactly this. We’re not good enough to play out from the back so that had to stop. That said, Gareth’s long ball tactics were garbage. Just hoofing it to the immobile Martin was shocking. But get Armstrong and Lowe running on to Dykes flick ons and we at least can cause trouble.
I didn’t see Armstrong feature in the highlights after his introduction. Anyone know how he did?

very much reminds me of the early days of Les Ferdinand, a beast of a player, raw, but fast and strong. He will put the wind up a few defences next season

His pace and strength caused Burnley's defenders all sorts of problems. First time after he'd just come on a Burnley player ambled across to collect a ball thinking he had good time and not knowing how quick Armstrong is. Armstrong came from behind, ran past him, took the ball, the defender hacked him down from behind and we got a FK in a dangerous position and the defender a yellow. Armstrong got a yellow later himself. He also used his pace to tackle and win a ball back. I've never seen him play a full 90, doubt he'd last that long but he's great coming off the bench late on like yesterday.

Dickie has received loads

Happy to eat my words. Never saw that coming in a million years!
Dickie heroic at the back!
I salute every R’s fan who went up there today. We were on a hiding to nothing but they believed and saw something that will be talked about for years.
What a massive reward to see that unfold! Good on everyone of you

I heard from a good sauce, that GA’s half time talk was on how many days until Christmas cause the players who are on this board didn’t know

Would that be HP sauce or something a bit stronger? Maybe Igor's favourite - Old No.7?:emoticon-0105-wink:

Great to hear! I know his finishing isn’t the best at the minute but that will come. Just pleased he got half an hour because he really makes a difference. 5 or 10 minutes at the end is such a waste. Incredible he hasn’t had more game time given how slow and predictable we’ve been upfront.

Dykes and Armstrong is an obvious front two in a 442.

My mate was sat with Dykes mum behind him. He said she was really emotional after the game.

G'day 999. Just wondering if she was sitting with the general public or your friend has a special pass to sit with the relatives of the players and management. Either way, hope he or someone gave her a congratulatory hug, at least to comfort her.

Good interview with Dickie after the game ...

"He has his own ways of getting us up for games".....
That's quite a telling remark, if it's true that Dickie was one of those taking the piss.
