Yeah, sometimes it’s annoying seeing our lone striker 2 lines behind play making the passes, but then Vardy comes on and doesn’t touch the ball for 30 mins

thought we looked a lot better with vardy on. His runs created space

My rubbish review, after having a perfect stream whilst on holiday.

 

  • Huddersfield showed the blueprint of how to play us this season. Teams who want to be braver are going to get caught out. Fair play to them - they executed their game plan well. But i think we are going to be watching a lot of games like this.
  • The standard of forward play in the Championship is horrible. 
  • A clean sheet for Stolarczyk is brilliant. He is clearly not as good as Mads with his feet but made up for it being solid. I don't think Brendan would have been brave enough to have played Stolarczyk in a game like this.
  • Nacho will not be bagging us 50 goals this season like many predicted. There is a big decision to be made here as i don't think he is good enough to be the 'main man'. His experience didnt shine through at all and i felt he looked as inexperienced as Wanya. I'm sticking to the opinion that we sell, but i think he will stay and see out his contract.
  • Wanya looked really good in his build up play, but lacking confidence in the final third. If this is just experience and he has the ability to improve then he's a fantastic option to have, as he was a real handful.
  • I love Mavididi. Lots to improve but he fulfills defensive obligations and is a handful. Glad he got his first goal, if scrappy.
  • Faes was a rock. I think he's too good for this level. If he doesn't leave this window he will probably be gone in the winter.

Don't buy into the fact we didn't deserve it. The only stat they won was 'plucky underdog'. We weren't particularly great, but they weren't better.

Great impact sub to have up our sleeve, allowed spaces for others in the final 20 minutes.

Think that’s the best I’ve ever seen Faes play. Very good.

 

The rest were pretty average to be honest. Nobody really had a bad game.

Faes absolutely imperious today. He's clearly better than this level. 

 

We score a couple in that first half if we had a player of Mavididi's quality on the other wing.

Of course he is….it’s years I see him playing…

Squeaked through but on balance a fair result. With a bit more luck/finishing prowess we could have had more, but the same could said for Udders.

 

Hoping Enzo’s tactics will work out in this league, but may be a case of champagne football with brown ale money.

This is definitely not Brendan Ball

The ability to win duels, and win ugly is a skill we had lost.

 

With Brendanball we would have rolled over and lost to a team that bullied us

So funny how much the fans of both teams we’ve played are on about diving. When you’ve got better pace and quality you’re going to get fouled

Woah worlds greatest football teams leeds losing and saints drawing :o

I don't think anyone has said they are. All of the pressure of being favourites has been put upon us by pundits and bookies. Man City of the Championship apparently.

 

A win is a win but not convincing at all. Even the goal was a pretty tame shot that the keeper managed to Danny Ward up.

 

Still only 1 of 2 teams with maximum points after just 2 games and we really should be convincingly winning the next 3 including Tranmere.

Great start, but these 2 performances in the PL would have been losses, so glad the rebuild is going on in this division. More to do, but liking the ideas.

Totally irrelevant, we wouldn’t be playing that side in the Premier League obviously.Haven’t you noticed that we have sold some of our star players to PL clubs.

Ground out a great result today. The game wasn't pretty but Warnock knows how to set up a team to frustrate and I thought we handled the long balls into the box pretty well. Picking up scrappy wins away like today is usually a very good sign. 3 points closer to promotion and we move on to the next game.

We were pretty good for the 10 min spell before scoring, if we can start to do that for bigger chunk of games then I will believe in the project more.

 

But I think our weakness right now is we need to be more productive breaking through defences.  KDH was heavily marked, he is already recognised probably as our main threat.  Probably needs to be some more variance in what we do in the final 3rd, do the occasional cross or run to line and do a move like for ndidi's goal last game, I felt we were predictable, but that 10 min spell really exhausted them and allowed a breakthrough.

Warnock is a tw@t, but let's admit it, we love him.

He wound me up by claiming we'd have stayed up if we stuck with Rodgers but that's what he all about - winding people up.

 

As you say i'm all for it and love it. Fair play to him.

Do Sky do extended highlights?

There was a 23 minute one from Sky (I think) on YouTube at about 6/7pm last week. Then the club put the same one out the next day.

Enzo was a bit vague in the post match interview when asked why he put two goalies on the bench when the likes of Daka etc weren't in the squad. Didn't really answer, lots of words including it's better for those players who missed out. All sounds a bit evasive.

Haven't seen any of the game, listened to it, sounded like we ground it out which against Warnock will always be the case, say whatever about him or his football his teams are hard to beat.

 

We did grind it out though, and that'll duly be the case throughout the season.

 

Can't really say alot more, 3/3 :thumbup:

I'd like him to be asked what he means by "Technical Decision"

To be fair I don't think I've ever seen us play a game where the opposition man-marked the WHOLE team!
