Happinesstan Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 When teams sit back with an organised back line, we need the ability to hit them quickly and increase the pressure. The fact we have done that today is a great sign. slightly irrelevant if we get promoted as we won't be half as feared in the prem, but good signs for the rest of this season.

r0cafella Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I don't care how we play or the score as long as we win, the championship is hopefully a temporary stop and we won't come across such negative tactics when playing at home when prompted so I expect the games to play out differently hopefully with a few improvements players wise as well.

54 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thank fuck for that. Been impressed with Murphy's involvement. Yedlin's not been awful as such but just doesn't fill me with as much confidence as Anita. Just hasn't looked that impressive. Everything else just looks as normal; look more likely to score but equally ready to let it all be for nothing with one mistake. Fair do's to Darlow for getting back to save his own skin but he was very lucky. Need to just keep giving the ball to each other with their back to goal, turn and shoot. I swear the closest chances were off the back of that each time. Must send their defenders' heads in a spin. Actually think Yedlin has been one of our better players, that block for the Darlow fuck up stopped us going a goal down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 They've done a good job at totally stifling us mind. Totally stifled. Except for, ya know, the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I think Yedlin offers us far more at RB than Anita does tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Very relieved we're going into the second half one up, cos you could envisage us getting frustrated and losing our (already pretty fragile) control on that altogether. I don't know why we're all over the place at the back; I'm nervous whenever they come forward. On balance we definitely deserve to be in front because we've created chances and they've invited that turn-and-shoot more than once now. Glad Murphy buried it. Do like Murphy, he seems a good target man. Was confident he'd score today and he has done. Yedlin our best player, hopefully the lad marking Shelvey will tire and we'll go on and win comfortably. Haven't noticed Yedlin do much at all, although I am watching on a pretty poor stream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Smallwood should have been off, no doubt. I was starting to space out towards the end though, am I imagining it or did the referee blow the whistle for the previous challenge before Smallwood was even going in? He had aye.

Andymc1 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Every time we aren't in the lead after half an hour this place pisses its pants. We deserve to be in the lead after that half and we are due to a well taken goal - happy with that. I expect us to win 3-0 now. St James Park equally as bad a this place for moaning and groaning. Without doubt. SJP has a large percentage of idiots though compared to what I thought about this forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Good job that lad stayed on his feet after the Darlow mistake. Would've likely been a red and penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Perez has been decent IMO. Shelvey is being very well marshalled, that's why we're not as dominant as one might expect. Think they'll run out of steam if they keep this up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 And am sorry like Neesy; yes, I know all teams harp on about injustices and such but I swear to God, every single game I've watched this season we've had an extremely good shout for a penalty turned down. That today was every bit as much of a bollocks decision as the one against Fulham on day 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Only just noticed, Shelvey's freekick in the build-up to the goal took an incredibly lucky glance off an opponent which chanced the trajectory, enabling it to land perfectly at the feet of Yedlin. Small margins right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I thought he pulled him back a bit after he'd initially lost it. When I watched it live I thought it Darlow was going to see red. Seems like I'm the only one though, so what the fuck do I know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We'll see more of Shelvey this half I'm sure Rotherham would be stupid to give up man-marking him for at least 20 minutes or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
