Popular Post Red Army 75 Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 First time I seen him play tonight. First half thought he was exceptional. Good in the air very composed with the ball at his feet. With a bit of time him and TK could form a good centre back pairing. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to sort ourselves out defending in and around our own box. If nige can’t sort that out this summer we are in for a horrible season next time around as there probably won’t be anyone with a massive points deduction next year. only the top 4 teams have scored more goals than us this season yet we are in the bottom half of the table with -14 goal difference.

pongo88 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I thought it was a good performance but I’m not getting carried away as I’ve seen quite a few signings who’ve looked good at first and subsequently have been pants. An example is Jens Hegeler who was signed on a 2 1/2 year deal but only lasted approx 12 months. Conversely, I’ve seen a few who looked pants at first and subsequently were good. - e.g. Matt Smith who was “awful” at first. With Klose, I think his biggest problem will be his lack of pace. Tonight he was playing against a team that is bottom of the Championship form table over the last 6 matches. The test will be when he has to play against some decent pacy forwards 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Tom Daley than Tom Ince, a triple twist with pike. He pulled a similar trick for Derby in a 3-3 draw some seasons ago.

Good communicator….and although Cundy had little to do, he’s making sure he’s vocal too. Cundy using his physique to ease his marker out of the way so Max can come and catch a ball into his mid-riff. Also charging down the shot that Williams deflected over. Positive signs of someone who wants to defend. Klose pretty good though, not always the quickest distributor. Showed his strength in the air, our midfielders will start to learn where to anticipate his aerial duels will land the more they play with him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not-so-bonny Langford, last night's bloke, was so uneven I thought at one point in the second half his left arm had ceased to function as he kept using the right to indicate free kick and free kick for Reading. No wonder their midfielder Laurent gave him a little hug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the bookings, Dasilva won the ball so I don’t think it was even a foul & Semenyo’s was for a slight push, so incredibly harsh.

Dasilva may have won the ball but he also won't right through the man on the follow up and in the modern game that's a booking. As for Semenyo, Stroud made it very clear that it was for a number of fouls not just the one. I agree about Ntcham though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
