We can't pass. That much is true. Today we defended well and we took our chances. So to sum up.... please log in to view this image
points are all that matters this stage and we got them. 2nd half we played a more sensible approach with not over committing and playing on the counter. We knew Watford had to go for it.. it wasn't pretty but job is done. 15 points for Norwich to turn around with us it won't happen 11 Points for Watford I personally think that's done too. All down to Burnley and Everton now but that win has pulled us back up to the lower middle teams. We aint there yet but thats a massive 3 points for safety.
Yeh our passing isn’t good enough. It’s just a class of player issue, combined with a high energy quick release style of play. today we scored 3 from an xg of less than 1. The opposite of usual.
I think today's performance showed why only Norwich are below Leeds and Watford for their passing accuracy. We had that bit more quality than Watford which will see us safe until next season.
WOW WOW AND WOW Just been reading the thread to get how the watford game went YIPPPEEEEEE Can't wait for motd tonight, oh man happy days are here again.
Cooper was very solid today, he was my man of the match although he did get away with a couple of challenges that could and should have been punished. Until KP came on we only had Klich willing to go in for the 50/50’s the rest of the midfield looked a bit scared pulling out too quickly James is being destroyed having to play as the main front man, I think we’ve wiped £10m off his value
Derby 9 points from safety with only 5 games remaining. Their next two games over Easter are Fulham at home and QPR away. Happy Easter guys.
James was horrific again today. Gelhardt obviously not fit too. Greenwood looked to have a good bit of composure when he came on. Lads got no pace but he picked out some lovely passes. I'd try him instead of James if Joffy can't play. However bad James was, he was vital in the first goal. Kind of sums him up when he is credited an assist which basically bobbled off his knee as the tackled someone. I try to be kind to James as he always runs his socks off, clatters in to goalkeepers and defenders at will but his touch is awful. He is certainly sacrificing his own game for the club this season.
It was 12 with not long to go but unfortunately Reading wilted. Reading have the same GD problem we have.
Coops was laying in to the defence in the first half. He's made a big difference since coming back. It's allowed Ayling to go forward more.
Doc is probably using two of olofs socks at present after seeing so many of the young lads get a run. Mind your wrist doc
He can run his socks off and clatter into whoever he likes.....I know he's out of position but for 25 million I'd hoped for more,and I hate to say it but scum season ticket holding son in law said he's a workhorse without a brain,
