Groundhopping Owl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Absolutely superb, for man of the match I'd nominate Bannan, Lee and Jones as a unit if I could. Bannan looked back to his best, brilliant at converting defence into attack, after being rested midweek, Lee worked his knackers off as ever and is always crucial to how we play, and Jones provided an excellent screen, as well as laying on some really nice passes in the first half. Today might have shown us the solution to cramming three midfielders into a 4-4-2 - Bannan and Lee were really fluid as to who played on the right wing and who played centrally. Meanwhile Reach was a brilliant outlet at all times. Thought today was quite possibly our best home performance of the season and the one where it seems to have "clicked". QPR worked very hard and gave us a game but we handled them, and got the three points. We looked dangerous at all times up front and were very unlucky not to get more than one.

Jowl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Great team performance today. Everyone understood their role. Oustanding contributions from hutch, bannan and Fessi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 When you look at the midfield .... Keiren Lee is owning a place week in week out , Bannan on today's performance is unstoppable I think he ran Jones a close 2nd for mom And Jones is proving to be what most reasonable supporters knew from day 1 ... sheer class How Abdi finds a way in there I ain't too sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGLED UP IN BLUE Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Won everything in there today and Jones gives Bazza and Lee the freedom they need to play their best. QPR tried to play through our midfield for most of the game and got nowt and when they did go long Hutch and Lees won everything. Super dooper with a winner from Hooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Jones is a proper player. Very impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EighteenSixty7 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Jones blew me away, simple passes and the more creative passes looked easy to him. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Madden Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I agree with all thats been written I thought Lee was tremendous whilst not quite reaching the high standard he's set himself Jones was absolute class and is now showing what an excellent buy he is, the 50 yard ball he played out to Pudil ( i think ) 1st half was exquisite Bannan for me was MotM i thought he took over Lees usual duracell bunny role today never stopped and similarly to Jones the cross field ball with the outside of his foot to Hunt was pure poetry Great performance by all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 That's the best midfield performance at home this season. Jones looked class today just doing simple things and constantly checking his positioning. Good call by the way Mick on FH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Jones has finally forced his way in - always had the ability, just the set-up here when he came wasn't helping, but he is very much what we needed and its starting to click. Over to you now Abdi...it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We look so much better with Jones in the middle, proper protection to back 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Yeah Jones has made a big difference in the last 3 games. It was good to see Bannan and Lee interchanging as well. With Hunt giving us lots of width it meant that Bannan could play a bit narrow. It worked a lot better than i was expecting before kick off!

Tamworthowl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It wasn't just Bannan and Lee interchanging. Reach went right and Lee wide left for part of the second half. Reach and Forestieri interchanged too. There were some flaws in today's performance, but we saw a lot of the fluidity and movement that I think Carlos is aiming for. When it consistently comes off, without the flaws, we're going to get a right performance and the goals will flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommowl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 How long has it been since we had someone that can consistently deliver a decent corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 After the previous two games Jones appeared to be a fixture in away games, it now looks like he will be in home games as well. We now seem to moving to more of a settled team , in midfield Lee, Jones and Reach look equally effective both home and away . Jones and Reach have added something different and now they are up to speed have improved us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
