oldtype Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 We were away on a s*** pitch in pouring rain with half of our first-choice squad missing. It's hardly surprising that the quality of football was less than epic. I see it as a plus that we were able to grind out a comfortable win under the circumstances.

Guest VegasToon Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 ESPN 360 is absolutely brilliant. Not only can I watch the match live, I can access the video of the game at any point that I feel like. I wish the club could create something similar for all the matches. I might even pay for it.

zolton Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Think you have pretty much got promotion in the bag provided you don't lose to Forest, I can not see that happening, hope you wipe that smug grin off Billy Davies face!

Benwell Lad Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Colo has been immense this season - player of the season so far for me - I think any centre half would enjoy playing alongside him at the moment as he looks so "in control" and assured. To pick up on a couple of earlier posts - it was very unfair for him to have been judged so harshly last season, as DISG said, against the backdrop of turmoil and chaos he walked in to - but the fact he never threw a "sicky" as some may have done, said a lot about his character. Completely different league but I see him being a success in the PL this time round, IF we go up. Another post comments that we haven't missed Taylor. I thought we would despite not being his biggest fan. Williamson looks to be a good signing, although as said earlier anyone would enjoy playing alongside Colo right now. We have a much better squad than when we started the season, it's unlikely we could have gone to tough places like Watford and got a result with so many key players missing early on. Credit to Hughton - he looks like he's spent what budget he has wisely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Scoreboard Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 What were you expecting like? We've played like that or worse in the majority of our away games this season. Nothing spectacular, but a few chances created in open play from the team clear at the top of the league would've been nice, maybe? Or perhaps a few decent passing moves, only a few? Too much to expect from any team that looks to be 'effective' in this league, I guess, the likes of Swansea, WBA, Doncaster etc. play pretty football, but don't grind out the results. That's not they way we do things, unfortunately. If we hadn't had scored the early goal you would have seen a better standard of football from us and a more open game. Scoring the goal gave us something to guard though and guarding a lead is what Hughton loves to do, it's not pretty but it's effective with a backline as solid as ours is. We could have stepped up a gear at any time, not that we would have necessarily scored or won but we're capable of a lot better. Typical away performance from us. Hard to play decent football when the f***ing two central midfielders are about 30 yards behind play constantly as well. This. Doesn't make for pretty flowing games but with an early goal in the bag all they gonna do is try and sneak another while keeping a clean sheet. Well done is what i say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think it's a bit harsh to say we haven't missed Taylor. We've conceded 11 in the 9 games he's missed compared to 6 in 9 in the run up to his injury. I realise this doesn't take into account a whole host of factors (including missing Jose and the standard of the teams) but it seems to indicate we have been a bit worse at the back. I think Williamson has been brilliant since he came but from what I saw yesterday he looked a little shaky/nervous at times and made a couple of silly decisions, we'll have to wait and see if he can keep up his early form (which was excellent), otherwise I still think Taylor-Colo might be our best partnership with the players we have at the moment. As for Coloccini being player of the season, I'd have to disagree. He's definitely been in the top 3-4 players all season but I think people have been quick to forget how could Jose has been. In most games he's not only been our best defender but also our best attacker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Smith summed it up nicely after the game, "It wasn't a good game for the boys who like to pass it around but it was a good game for players like me". He also added that he thought Coloccini was outstanding and Williamson had a good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'd say that Colo and Enrique have been far better than anyone else this season. Both have cruised through the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye they have been brilliant all season. But who would you give player of the season too? Personally i'd give it to Colo, as centre half is a more crucial position.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The ball-juggling by Colo in front of us in the away fans was immense... I just hope he remembers not to do that against Drogba and Rooney! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 So Watford fans on a different forum reckon Smith took a swing at Williamson after we conceded. Apparently Smith was incensed with Williamson and he gave some verbal back, and other NUFC players had to intervene. Anyone see/read anything about this? I wasn't looking but saw Pancrate with his arms out as if to say to everyone to calm it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
