Running at players

Ironically, there was a time when we had a few players who could run at defences but none of them could put a decent ball in. Now it's the opposite (well at least the former).

True ! With JJ Antonio and jezza ! Would take a younger jj back these days even if for the bench

This type of player is what we needed in the summer. Not really had it consistently since Antonio and JJ. Helan use to run at people, beat them.. and then.. yeah.

 

Mcmanaman does it doses. 

 

Well we all thought that player would be Bannan, but this year he seems to be holding at the back instead of going forward. Whether that's orders or not I dunno. Mind you, if he does go forward and loses possession and gets ball I can understand why he would be reluctant to go forward again

It's a crying shame that we haven't recruited anyone to do this or is it a case the head coach prevents them? As for the best in the league it has to be Antony Knockaert.

We have in McManaman he could be our Knockaert but we don't play him !!! First name on team sheet for rest of games if Carlos was doing things right.

One start since he came and that lasted 50 minutes. Seems he hasn't been afforded favourite status which allows you to be picked regardless of performance. When he has come on he has made an impact. Maybe if we started positively instead of this tepid safety first approach we might start putting our opponents to the sword.

Waddle best I have seen for us at it.

Proved you didn't have to be quick to be effective.

 

Absolute master of controlling the pace of the game. He slowed the game down to his advantage and when he received the ball he simply just took off for that split second and did the damage. Quality.

Reach has never done it?

 

I think you need to revisit the forest away game where he ran 50 yards down the wing and got the corner that adbi took and nando scored.

 

 

Or the run he made to to give the ball to Hunt for Winnall's goal against Birmingham.

Reach can but he just doesn't do it enough. 

Will Buckley did it more in one game than Reach has done in the entire season.
