Bits were awful. Ref was awful WBA are not very good. Their keeper was pretty bad Burrell was amazing. Kone dies so much ...I wish he would score Not sure quite how Madsen does it...but he is pretty good too. I am not sure if I enjoyed it...but am very happy now
Enjoyed that second half. Kone worked his socks off. As was said on the stream when he does score again he will get more but him putting it about (and in) created both goals in the second half for a natural goal scorer (Burrell) who knows where he should be playing. Don't think we've had a a finisher like that in a long while. West Brom continued to be poor throughout the game and rarely looked like scoring although Nardi did have to make a couple of good saves.
Had good spells & awful spells, passing was very poor at times, Kone had a better game & Burrell amazes me & good signing, don’t know how he missed that chance! Perhaps he there was a foul, hope the person in stands who was taken ill is ok, got my prediction spot on
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Burrell’s goal record is far better when Kone is on the pitch than not. The team’s too probably even if he hasn’t scored for ten games or whatever it is. The Abidjan Emile Heskey you could say but possibly won’t.
A win's a win of course but it couldn't get much less convincing. There's no point in playing Saito through the centre and it felt like we were playing with 10 for much of the game. Another good performance by Madsen went some way to plug the vacuum in midfield particularly when we lost Chair. Nardi proved again that he is a top shot stopper but in the era of the long throw is always likely to give up goals. I don't think Championship defences quite know what to do with Burrell which is very good for us. Reese Norrington very good - how do we keep him?
I was about to write that a big positive today was that Nardi came out and did well for the crosses into the box. Saito played on the right wing (?) Totally agree about RND, he was excellent. We really need to buy him.
Thought Kone had a good game, particularly second half. He made the last goal. Shame he is so shot shy, we were all shouting at him to shoot but he seems to have lost his confidence in front of goal. Does it matter? Not if Burrell is playing with him. Little and large. Great double act today. Who is going to replace Chair on Tuesday?
