Great post , I was listening to John Eustace last night after Derby had demolished Wednesday 3-0 . He was downplaying the "euphoria" of the win stating that the championship is a unique league that provides unique challenges that have to be overcome in each and every game . It's about adapting to face every opponent and then concentrating on the next challenge around the corner. Very grounded guy who i think will have Derby in or around the play-offs at the end of the season.
I said a few weeks back if you get the ball early to Vipotnik and let him get across his man he will score a hatful. Widell came on late v Stoke and attacked at pace down the left a perfect early ball and bang it was in the net . We didn't do that again in the match not once - we should have exploited it to the max. . That was the weakness Stoke had , they couldn't defend the pace and early cross , few teams can if its done well. What we need to do in training is get the wingers /widdell breaking at speed and crossing it low and hard to Vipotnik he will do the rest. That's all they need to do just practise and more practise until it becomes second nature. Vipotnik and to a lesser extent Idah have been starved of those sorts of opportunities attack at pace before the opponents are set . If Ronald and Eom can't do it get Wilson back cos I think he's another Dave Thomas in the making too small for a centre forward but has the pace to be a winger /attacking midfielder . Onwards and upwards with Matos.
Well Wales are meant to tread water seriously though I think he could add something he has dynamism is quick with good feet get him back ! Wales in my mind should have had more game time too . Idah and Cullen have hardly been tearing it up.
What rubs a bit of salt in the wound is the fact that the player deliberately wasting time at that throw in was on 9 bookings which meant that one more and he would recieve a 2 match ban . Only that getting the 10th is irrelevant because he will be at AFCON so will miss those 2 games anyway. So now he will come back fron AFCON and start off on zero bookings again . Thats a loophole that needs closing in my mind .
The commentator stated that the change of Galbraith to midfield had allowed Thomas the freedom to cause havoc . He did say in mitigation that we needed galbraiths nous in midfield to open up Stoke so he understood the change. We looked more threatening when Widdell came on also the ref did let a few fouls go for Stoke and was a bit more lenient to them . Injury time to my mind was also cut short just over7 mins but Prior to that Tymon went down with a head injury and that was at least 2 and a half mins that wasnt added on..
I am not going to this but I noticed the ticket price is adult £12 . £6 for u18's . now that is what I call a good deal , shame other clubs don't follow Stoke's example .
I think he would benefit from losing half a stone at least . He doesn't look dynamic enough for a man with a strongly built frame . Maybe some gym work - Plyometrics , short sharp sprints , medicine ball work / core strength work .... just a thought . I don't know what it is but he seems to be a tad too timid and not aggressive enough You expect a centre forward to have a bit more bite even his expression when subbed gives nothing away , there's like a lack of emotion there that kinda says ....oh well never mind.
Now that does surprise me. Spain is not a country that you would traditionally think of as rugby loving . Basque country to a certain extent I could understand , yes ; as it has a very close proximity to Southern French clubs like Pau ,Tarbes , Beziers , Bagneres , Narbonne .
Fulham have introduced a couple of very good youngsters into their squad . They are starting to look really menacing on the counter .Exciting times for them . Man City were desperate for the final whistle last night.
If you want to see running at defences watch the Man City Fulham game tonight .Absolute bonkers game . Really impressed with Fulhams running . 5 -1 down and came back to 5-4 !
Innoussa to me has flattered to deceive rather disappointing in his recent performances . He has to lose this "falling over business in the hope he is going to get a free kick.." Refs are not buying it stay on your feet that way we have 11 players affecting the game. Also I am not 100 % certain he is match fit he seems to run out of steam.
I know how down the fans are feeling but at the end today as the players came over to the fans there were some ugly exchanges , hand gestures , swearing . The players looked shocked and I don't think it is going to achieve anything. Morale must be through the floor and shameful scenes like that won't pick the players up.
