Dawson was my man of the match. He was great today. Harper had an improved game on his usual very poor standard but he still wasn't great. Defence was first class today.
harpers been good the last couple of games, he's quite, keeps himself available and is accurate with his passing and goes in for some big tackles, not as box to box but maybe thats what he's been told.
Dawson tends to ball watch a bit for me and when QPR nearly scored in the second half it was him who nearly cost us. But that's my only fault for him today. He put in an impressive shift getting up and down the line, likewise Rosenior on the other side.
It's no coincidence that the teams fortunes have improved significantly since Harper was installed in the team, you need somebody to organise and fill gaps. I can't see Koren or Belaid doing that kind of job. It's all about balance in the team for me. I think Dawson is declining pretty fast though, it's a great shame as he is another city legend like Ashbee but I'm sure Pearson will be looking at a replacement for left-back next season, if not this. He was good today though.
Aye he should of gone with the man instead, but generally like you Dawson was very steady I thought Harper had a much better game, possibly he looked better as he got through more work with Ash's absence. I think if he sticks with the same team Mclean will get his ellusive goal against leeds shoddy defence, QPR's defence was pretty solid much like our own is becoming!
Trouble for Harper, he is the New KC Boo Boy and Replacing Ash further fuels the idiots. i Thought him and Evans did OK today against the league leaders, who going forward where the most dangerous side i've seen this season, i could not see that ash would have made a difference apart from winding Tarabt up even more.
My problem with Harper is his inability to buy adult size shinpads... I mean really. What is going on with his socks? (Other than that I thought he had a good game today.)
You guys must have been watching a different game to me!! Dawson got caught in possession several times but managed to get out of jail with some good recovering tackles. Harper was atrocious today again, he needs to run and pressure opponents more rather than just point where he wants someone else to be instead. His passing needs to be sharpened up too. One good shot doesn't make a great game Corry Evans looks a prospect and james Chester had his best game by far. Gerard doesn't panic when playing alongside Chester which helps a bit. I would have put Belaid on for the last 20 minutes see what he has to offer. Happy with a point but it should and could have easily been three points and a move up the table. UTT
Well done to dawson- much improved game. Harper did okay as well, i just wonder when he will finally win a 50/50 header
Probably when he learns to run like a man lol he had a decent second half but i am still not convinced but like a previous poster put we were up against the most consistent side today and we have only been beaten once in 13 matches he must be doing something right.
