Tsunami Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Some of the comments made off the back of the radio commentary are just wrong. We were awful in the first half. Gutherie did ok; his passing at times was dreadful & he is too slow in possession. Just because we were trying to pass through him doesn't make it a good performance. The reason we used Gutherie was 'cos Nolan is as mobile as a one legged, arthritic, elephant. He readily held his hands up for their goal; so that's ok. Sorry lads my fault; useless. Coventry simply couldn't handle Jonas, they doubled up on him 1st half, but couldn't get near him 2nd half. Routeledge, Carroll & Lovenkrands all did their bit; back 4 weren't really tested. Leon Best hardly got a kick when he came on. Jonas looked a bit tight in the leg late on; we can't afford to lose him again & we need Jose back.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well everyone goes to extemes in their opinions - the radio sounded overly positive and you're taking it the other way. So I reckon it was a decent performance against relatively poor oposition. That's what we need! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I reckon it was a decent performance against relatively poor oposition. That's what we need! I'm trying to put some perspective to this. We were awful 1st half, Hughton was doing his dinger on the touchline. Jonas was the best player on the pitch my a distance, if the radio commentators were having trouble deciding between Jonas & Gutherie they need therapy. I can remember 5 simple, shortish passes that Gutherie put straight into touch. It was a great result but a performance that leaves me fearing for away games.

huss9 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 honestly given up on winning any more away games - hope we can at least draw them all and then get promoted on the back og winning at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I thought overall it was an excellent performance and a very good result. We were right on top during the 1st half and it was only a matter of time until we came good. I can't understand why to some on here the opposition are always sh*t when we win. Coventry looked poor but credit has to be given to our team for making an "in form" team look like that. The effect of two good pacy wingers is really positive on the teams performance, Jonas makes it look so easy and when their full back rugby tackled him out of frustration in the second half it just shows how difficult he is to play against. Andy Carroll is an effective player -potentially a decent centre forward - and probably deserves more credit than he seems to get. I thought we'd miss Steven Taylor but now I don't think we are. Williamson looks like a very good defender and could prove to be a decent bit of business - I'm pleased we got him rather than Kilgallon. Had a look at the remaining fixtures, I never count any chickens where NUFC are concerned, but they do look pretty straightforward. Only Forest (H) and Boro (A) look like tricky fixtures to me. That said we've shown too many times before that we can turn easy looking games into difficult ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Thought we did fine first half, had lots of possession, looked more threatening, more composed in the ball, generally clearly the better team. Misses the first 5 minutes like cos of the east stand queues and heard they had a few chances early on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I had a look at the fixtures today and it seems that Forest have a really difficult run in. They have some tight local derbies against Leicester and Derby as well as us, Blackpool and Swansea away. WBA have a few potential toughies too but I think we can stick it out and win this league by a 5 or 6 point margin. Forest's lack of squad depth and failure to bring any players in January could come back to bite them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I reckon it was a decent performance against relatively poor oposition. That's what we need! Agree with this. Pretty good summing up of the game We desperately need to get our act together away from home, thats for sure though. And if the lad infront of us doesn't stop farting I am going to start taking the most girly smelling body spray I can find and start spraying him. f***ing rank it was and he has been doing it every game for 2 years now.

Guest Brazilianbob Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Was Mike Ashley at the match last night? I haven't seen any photos of him at matches lately. Are the media leaving him alone or has he stopped going? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Great match last night thought we were in for a tense game when they scored thank fuck for Routledge! I thought everyone played well, Nolan especially improved after setting up Carroll. Van Anholt is pretty annoying imo he gets forward but hardly ever crosses the ball into the box. In fact last night is the first time I've seen him do it which led to Carroll almost scoring a second. If he started putting more balls in I think we would be alot more effective. Thought the Coventry fans were good, particualrly enjoyed their mexican waves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouted about it at least five times last night but no one seemed to own up. There's a group of about five lads two rows down from us who look rather sheepish every time one goes off but i cant work out which one it is yet. Its absolutely rank and who ever it is needs to get to the doctors asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
