Essix Blue Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Brilliant entertainment. In brief...... Kirkland immense - signing of the summer so far JJ unplayable again at times. More please COG brilliant again WHEN to feet. We seemed to revert to hoof a bit Rodri - it's right what we heard, not big or strong or fast. Should have scored after 5 minutes and at times looked off the pace of the game. But he took his goal brilliantly and grew into the game. Needed to go off tho obviously not fully match fit. All in all a very good night. Didn't look too bad at the back Llera stood out. McCabe didn't seem to shine that much and Antonio was a bit quiet. But that didn't stop us having loads of chances. Bring on Millwall!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theowls 93 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Reda is an absolute liability. Don't care how many goals he will score for us because his incapabilities at the back will outweigh his attacking threat. Burke is lucky to come off the pitch with his ankles intact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Kirkland immense - signing of the summer so far It's not too long ago I thought he might be the best keeper England had available to them. If he plays at that level, and keeps fit of course, he could be an extremely important addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essix Blue Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I've passed comment on Reda before and got shot down along with others. Thought he did ok tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on Millwall!! Agreed, apart from thought Rodri HAS got pace, think he needs to adjust to the pace of English football, and the Championship. Good performance all in all!!!! uto!!!

Dark$ide Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Antonio setup our first goal with a superb cross i think. Was a bit quiet, but probably needs to settle down to being a "Wednesday" player with wife, kids etc. Thought McCabe had some moments of pure quality at times as well. He is only a 19 year old kid lets not forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essix Blue Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I also thought in the first 30 minutes some players were trying too hard. Might sound daft and they were all up for the game, just wonder if after two bad starts they stepped it up a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Was left with a slight tinge of dissapointment that because we were so dominant we didnt see that game out as easily as we shouldve i.e. if there is a lack of confidence going forward at any point, can we be relied upon to keep it tight under pressure, especially at home? But anyway, taking the positives I didnt know what to expect and it sounds as if we were brilliant in the first half as we were at Derby in the second half. I'm getting to my first game on Saturday so I hope we can be just as impressive going forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theowls 93 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 For some reason rodri reminded me tonight of van der vaart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senwar Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) We were fantastic. As for reda - yes he got skinned quite a bit but to be fair, Burke was superb for them. We'll not see many sides play much better than Birmingham did and we were better Edited August 21, 2012 by senwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3mps Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Great performance by all, as said Reda at times gets in a right tangle and sooner or later will cost us points I feel :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence will grow and grow - especially if we can get a clean sheet win over Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark77 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I though Rodri was excellent, brilliant close control and skilll. Took his goal well. Decisive turn of pace. Will get sent off at some point! Will be the best signing we make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
