Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted September 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2019 Lots to work on, things to tweak. But that's bound to be the case. Delighted with the effort from the players. We created the best chances in the game. We let them have in areas that didn't damage us. The formations will change but the principles of what we do will stay the same. We'll adapt to take advantage. We can't do everything at once. I haven't had a 6 week pre season to get my messages across, but it's a work in progress but that's why we kept things simple. I was pleased with the team attitude and I think that shone through today, their attitude. The boys have been fantastic, bits not easy with new ideas and new methods. But they've welcomed me in and bought in to what we're wanting to do. There will be ups and downs I won't get carried away after one game. It's nice to get a good start in what was a tricky game. But it is one game. Hutchinson- Just a tweak. No problem. He finished the game no problem. There's lots of work to be done. Pleased with the win, and delighted for the players. But there are things to do. There's still plenty to do. But happy when a win and a clean sheet, but we need to build from here, lots of hard work to be done. 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham will be a different game again. 1 Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Will have noticed Murphy's lethargy. Doesn't look like a £13 mill player at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 WBA fans said Murphy was poor. Starting to see it now. Hope Monk turns it around, that place is Forestieri's the moment he is back otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Yeah Murphy looked like he was struggling I’ve a feeling Monk is the bloke who’s gonna put an arm around FF and if he gets him back upto speed Murphy won’t keep him out long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some loan players have a " can't be arsed' look about them. He's here for the season so really needs to buck his ideas up or he's a waste. Maybe GM can get him playing better.

Salmonbones Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Huddersfield were decent out wide, I like the look of their left back for instance, an absolute pain in the arse all game. Murphy didn't have a great game but I think that them being strong out wide had a bearing on his own performance. I don't actually think we played that well at all to be honest which is why i'm delighted with two very good basic goals, gutted that Palmer didn't get an assist for Fletcher though, he usually goes to pieces further up the field and that was a great surge forward from him and cross on his weaker foot.

Well a good player will always lie so I guess he'd tell you it was a cross, but I know what you mean - I was more shocked to see him rampaging up the field like that.

mcmigo Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 A nice solid start. Monk will know deep down we are mid table fodder this season and so is rightly managing expectations. We are beating teams who are struggling and losing to the better ones . That i suspect will be the story of our season. A very relaxing and enjoyable season awaits. The key is to nurse the squad through the season, bin the oldies and hopalongs and continue to get younger fitter players in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Any win in the Championship, especially away to local rivals, ought to be received gleefully. No it wasn't perfect but it was considerably better than our last one against QPR. Murphy was poor, Odabadjo suspect at RB but in general the team did well IMO. Given that GM has only been here a week I'm happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Didn’t change much. Stopped Hutch dropping too deep. Fox probably unlucky to be dropped. We worked hard for him which is a plus. Heavily involved on the touch line, adjusting things and giving players instructions. I like to see this from a manager. What will he have learnt. Not to play Reach in that position. Rarely touched the ball for 60 mins. Murphy has to improve and doesn’t put the effort in that Monk will require. Talks about the formation changing and being flexible which will be interesting because we ain’t got a formation that works for us yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for at least a play-off push myself. You need to get the zen mindset. Think about the journey not the destination. Just enjoy each game. We haven’t been promoted to the top flight for nearly 30 years. No point getting all tensed up and frustrated about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 A promising start and Monks comments make a lot of sense. though most notable thing from today was players played with more responsibility and the shape was maintained throughout the game.
