Well a win is a win, doesnt matter if its 10 men or 11. 3 goals More shots on target And most of all a bit more confidence now. Yeh we didnt play with all the flair when they went down to 10 and we made mistakes but the important thing was 3 points and we done that. We have 2 home games coming up off the bounce. WBA and QPR. If and it is a big 'if' we take 6 points, then surely that is the springboard we need. WBA have made an awesome start so it is some ask. Two things i noticed yesterday, i dont know what benefit Colback brings to the team, honest if someone knows please tell me, is he just there as a middle man to play it back to defence or to wide players. As i wouldnt want paying and i could do that. I dont see him making through balls to wingers or Sess & Fletch and he is very error prone. The other was McClean. How awful was he when he came on, I know its hard to judge him as he wasnt on for a lot of time however I fear he is another Sean Thornton, full of promise but because he is a little tosser it affects his game play. I think come next year we will sell him and he will be playing Championship at best. He cant run and cant beat a man anymore so not sure what use he is to us now
Than all of last month!!!! Youre right about Colback and McClean - Apparently Colback was ill up until kick off - but IMO he has been poor for a few weeks and needs some time on the sidelines - him and McClean - I had hoped being benched bucked McClean's ideas up but he looked the same poor player he has for this entire season. We'll see what happens but I would only make one change next weekend and that would be Gardner for Colback (if Gardner is fit) and if not then stick Vaughan in there - Team should have the beginning of a bit of confidence now
To be fair to McClean he beat his man twice, once outside and once inside when he shot qt the keeper. Yes he should of done better with the shot or layed it onto Johnson but he still made a goalsxoring chance by himself. I can't believe anyone analysing the game could fail to mention how terrible Oshea and Larrson were. they've now cost us goals in.all of the last three matches
I'm not to sure you can blame Larrson for the goal? However I have to agree O'Shea was terrible. To be fair to O'Shea though he is normally very solid. Anyone can have a bad match let's hope that was his for the season. Against West Brow our center halfs may struggle to cope with their pace.
if you watch their goal back it starts with Larrson failing to track his man after a one two (same as against Villa) then instead of trying to get get back or stop the cross he and Oshea stood with their hands in the air. Dont know if anyone else noticed but Bardsley was tearing strips off Larrson for not tracking back on a number of occasions
Great result for you guys, never would have thought Fulham (a) would be where you'd break your duck but you played well and deserved the win. Your next game will tell you a lot about your season I think, the Baggies have had a stupidly good start by their own standards and they're one of the best attacking teams so far this season. If you win this game it could really kick you on for what looks to be a tough December looking at your fixtures. QPR right now looks like a walk in the park for any team, so any less than 4 points from your next two shouldn't be considered a good return. Definite red card, no debate at all on this as he was off the ground with both feet so he had to go says the rulebook.
I noticed mate mentioned it on another thread. Bardo had a go at him a couple of times, Bardo being the pro he is also gave him a pat on the back to gee him up. MON for once noticed the danger and took him off!
