Trouble is BigAl, we were not playing out, Morsy was surrounded by 3 players. He was played into trouble. I too like Hladky and he has kept us in games with spectacular saves.
Can we swap Bazunu for your guy? He isn’t even a good shot stopper. Everyone seems to have keepers who are good with their feet but useless with their hands. They used to be called outfield players.
As others, have woken up today with a “what if” mentality. 3 points from the last 4 games just at the wrong time. Need something from Coventry on Tuesday - really nervous about this one. If we can get a draw, will be happy as win the last home game and we’re up
Unbelievable but even at this stage of an incredible season, some of our number still don’t buy into the McKenna way and back the lads executing it. Fortunately, the fans there on the night were superb.
Hladky is growing, still improving like all the other lads. Hladky actually has the best command of his area of any keeper over the last twenty years. He is quick and decisive. The ball into Morsy is a calculated risk just the same as always leaving the far wide man unmarked. Hutchinson could not have scored those goals at the start of the season. I see some great development in our patterns of defensive cover and the speed at which we work the ball as well. There’s no point worrying about who might do well in the Premier League unless we actually get there and we haven’t yet.
A draw puts the final game in your hands but it could still mean a must win final day. A win and you can afford a draw (if we win). I think you’ll win as long as you’ve recovered from the trip back
We are the first team in EFL history to rack up 90 points or more in consecutive seasons! That's one hell of a stat and just shows how far we have come in such a short space of time!
Sometimes we are just going to come up against a worthy opponent and last night the way Hull moved the ball and the pace of the game were outstanding. They had the rub of the green but that only came from a relentless press. Incredible home support as well. Out of all the sides still in the running, I hope they can sneak into the play offs and get themselves up, on the assumption the next week goes in our favour. West Brom are boring. Norwich are ****. Southampton have lost momentum and Leeds players aren’t committed.
Oh **** off you righteous prick, there's a time and a place, I'm all for playing out at the back but some times it's best to just get the ****ing ball up the field and away from trouble!!
Are you having a ****ing laugh, the best command of his area than any keeper in the last 20 years, I know you talk a load of **** in general but that comment takes it to a new high!!
Yes it's a fantastic achievement so far and really proud of them all but a few insane moments from Hladky has cost us a few vital points and may be the difference between promotion and staying where we are.
The Championship goal of the season like so many others was created playing out tight from the back. Tight into Woolfy and Morsy. The whole point of it is that it sucks the opposition onto us and creates space up the pitch. It gets us nowhere if you only do it when you’re safely in space. So many opportunities not created if we lump the ball forward. We would be nowhere near the autos. I don’t understand how we get to this stage of the season and still people watching us regularly don’t get it.
The goalie debate goes on. When Walton got injured we couldnt believe our luck when Hladky took over and his outstanding saves kept us in matches. He does have admirable footwork. But he has never commanded confidence in his goalie area which has resulted in sloppy, flappy punts out and occasional reckless short passes to defenders, often leading to loss of possession and goals. And we all appreciate that is how KM wants us to play, when it works, to a flowing move forwards sometimes leading to a goal. Last night the timing was critical just before half time, when it needed sensible game management to see us to half time, high in confidence, and Omari's sublime goal.
You don't ****ing get it, there's a time and a place, some of the passes are just pure insanity and there's a massive difference!! As for your insane claim that Hladky commands his area more than any keeper in the last 20 years, GET OFF THE WEED!!
I see so many situations not developing because Hladky is so switched on and dealing with danger where other keepers we have had over the fallow years would be hesitating. The dangerous passes out are calculated. This time Morsy got caught.
Will be interesting to see who will be #1 next season, whichever division we are in. Hladky has surpassed my expectations of him this season, but stil think Walton is far superior than him, and I'd prefer him back
If you want proper goalkeeping howlers watch the highlights of Blackburn v sheffield Wednesday and Cov v Hull from the last couple of weeks!
