This really was a topsy turvy game - some good bits of play mixed in with some
really awful bits of play. It was similar to Palace game in a number of
respects, not least the fact that we got 3 points but probably did not deserve
them.
Funny, I thought we deserved them, but were lucky to get them (if that's
not an oxymoron). We didn't deserve them because we were good, but I
thought we were better than Brizzle.
Most of them were poor today. My lad gave MOTM to Lonergan for saving
the pen and a basically sound display, but it was his poor kick that
lead to their penalty and although Kisnorbo was busy pointing and not
paying attention to the ball, Lonergan's penalty save made up for his
initial error, albeit at the cost of a red card. I thought Aidy White
was MOTM.
The following were poor today:
O'Dea
Howson (best of this bunch though)
Snodgrass
Nunez - I would put him on the bench - more of that anon
Becchio
Forssell
The following were middling:
Lees
McCormack
Keogh
Kisnorbo
Bromby
These chaps played well
Clayton
White (MOTM for me)
Lonergan
Duncan Castles has said on his Twitter that after Carling Cup Tuesday we
are signing Danny Pugh on loan to sign permanently for £500k in
January. We got him for nowt last time!
Assuming we do get Pugh, I'd want to play him at left back and put White
on the left wing. Then Nunez can come on from the bench. I don't
really rate him - at the moment he looks like he doesn't know what he's
supposed to be doing at all. Is this because of the position he's in,
or is he just not that good? In the first half some of his passing and
control was shocking (although I think it was his pass to Snodgrass that
lead to our first goal), in the second he had a couple of good runs, but
still looked like he was on his heels a lot of the time.
Keogh I don't know about. He should have had a hat-trick in the first
20 minutes, but worked his bopllox off and linked play well.
As for the defence, I just don't know. I don't know what Connolly has
done wrong. He's looked steady but unspectacular to me. Likewise
Bromby has looked OK at centre half. Maybe Connolly,Lees, Bromby,Pugh
would provide a reasobale blend of youth and experience?
Still, we were unlucky to loase against 'boro and Ipswich, so maybe the
last two results are compensating for that!
