justfoxes Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 3 points nearer the title thank you vey muchly !! The lads have treated us to some excellent displays this year and if they have a blip or two then we can't really slate them after gaining the seasons target of promotion but being champions would be superb, but we mustn't slate these lads who have played out of their skins to get us out of this bloody league after 10 long years to the premiership well played lads time for the title now !!

glenelgfox Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 In the end we deservedly got the points but we were sloppy and continually turned the ball over when all we needed to do was the basic stuff. At times we were trying to be too fancy almost bordering on arrogance IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc_star Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 Nugent was amazing - Covered every blade of grass up front by himself, didn't give their 4 defenders much time at all & a goal worthy of winning any match If he was supported better by Knocky (who was almost disgracefully awful today) & King we might have got more joy. Would like to see this formation again maybe every game until end of season as we have to nail 451/4231, but with Drinkwater higher up in place of King and Dyer on for Knockaert.

Haydos Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 James coming on transformed the game Agreed. As I said in the match thread, the James / Drinky axis is absolutely vital to us. He was an improvement on Hammond but what was key was Drinkwater moving higher up the pitch. The goal came immediately from his pass in the final third. Up until then he was playing 20 yards deeper. Hats off to Nige as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentFox Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 A very acceptable day. A new formation experimented with. And, by second half, we were adapting to it quite well, getting players around Nuge who had been isolated first half. Fabulous goal from Nuge - doing what he does best. Mahrez got a flavour of the physicality he can expect every week next season - which won't do him any harm. All good. Small observation from me .... penultimate home game, almost certainly sealed the title, big crowd, party atmosphere in danger of breaking out ....... and our manager came down from the stand and stood in the entrance to the tunnel out of public glare. It may not have been his intent, but I thought that spoke volumes for the man's ethics and values - not stepping into the limelight to take the adulation that would surely have come his way, but leaving his able team to finish the fixture. High quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 Thoroughly enjoyed being there today, apart from the fookin nonsense stewards all over the place. QPR, for me, looked like one of the better sides we've played. In Kranjcar they had a player who is so accomplished on the ball. But they should be so much better. No doubt, Arry's crazy insistence on having one up front, completely isolated, has been their downfall. Maiga, often in decent positions, had literally no-one to lay the ball off to, which played straight into our hands. We were industrious, committed and challenged every ball. Nugent's goal was delicious.. a lovely move and finish. All in all, six points against QPR isa great return and very well deserved. Finally, Andy King looks so much better in a midfield three. When the reliance ISNT on him to defend, he can start to run things better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseFox Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 we made it look more of a struggle than it was. like i said in the match thread if we're going to play drinkwater as a holding midfielder we may as well just rest him with james because he is completely non-involved in a deeper role. he fúcked off up the pitch where he wants to be when james came on and 30 seconds later got an assist in our most incisive, cutting move of the match. simple.

Devonfox1884 Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 I assume he's saving him for the play offs. Same with Austin Although that's fair enough, surely he could have given him more than 8 minutes-not that im complaining, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super hoop Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 He wasn't just saving those two, five other starters from the play off team were left out. I'd expect Dunne, Hill, Hoillet, Barton and Carrol to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guvnor Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 Almost over the finish line now, Quality finish from Nuge . QPR were very poor, Krankshaft was lucky not to get a red, Modibo Maiga was so bad I felt sorry for him when he was substituted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 My initial instinct was that Mazhrez went in two footed on that twat with the shit hair and should've got a straight red. I was astounded when their player got booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 Was alright, but not particularly great either, but it's another win towards Champions status Nugent had a hard job today, playing up front on his own, but I can't praise him enough after today's performance, he did the best he could, put in a tireless shift and scored the winner. First half I thought we looked slow in possession, the midfield was a problem, even though I thought Hammond & King in particular were playing well enough. But come the second half, as soon as we brought James on, we looked so much more comfortable and in control. Just goes to show, how important Matty James can be. I thought De Laet & Morgan had very solid games today, while I hope Schlupp is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 19 April 2014 Share Posted 19 April 2014 I pray that Schlupp is ok and hasn't had a reoccurence of his knee problem that he sustained at Forest the other year. Can somebody please explain how Nugent won man of the match other than the fact he scored the goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
