WalthamOwl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Keeping Brown fit is so important imo. He looks one hell of a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuttyTeabags Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 anywhere where you can watch full replay of the match? Would like to watch before giving a MOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Dawson, 7 - A quiet day but handled well what was needed Iorfa, 8 - sound performance. Lees, 7 - Two very competent performances after both.......................... Van Aken, 7 - Lees and Van Aken learnt quickly from going through Moore when he was pulling up sharply. Harris, 8 - Full tank of fuel, intelligent play. Penney, 7 - the space he used last week was filled by brown but never the less a competent display. Bannan, 8 - Totally dominated play in the second half. Luongo, 7 - hard running, completed the CM triangle. Brown, 8 - much needed strength in the centre, a few excellent interceptions, including the slide/pass for the first goal. MOM just Windass, 8 Set the tone for the entire game, great example to all. Rhodes, 7 - just what he needed he should build on this. Subs: all sevens played their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musn't Grumble Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Very pleased to see Van Aken have a decent match, whilst Windass ran his socks off up front and Brown was well on top of his game, adding more steel and creativity to the midfield. Although everybody contributed and did their job, for me, it was like the Tom Lees of old, who got my vote. He really bossed the defence and I would imagine that if we were still playing at 11pm tonight, Cardiff would be no nearer scoring than they were in the 90-odd minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I’ve given it to Brown - looks like becoming an integral and important part of the team this season Fingers crossed that he stays fit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 An excellent performance all round. Nobody was poor. Dawson 7 seems to have more confidence this season. Still strange technique at times but did well Iorfa 8 solid Lees 8 solid van Aken 8 I gave him MOM. To come back after almost two years out and play like that was a credit to him. Much better on the ball than Borner too. Could make the position his own. Harris 7 did well. I actually really like him at wing back as it gives him more space. His work rate is outstanding. Penney 6 a bit quiet. Crossing could have been better Luongo 7 excellent work rate Bannan 7 as above Brown 7 loses the ball at times but will be so important to us. Great pass to Windass Windass 7.5 looked dangerous and great finish Rhodes 7 worked hard, won fouls and actually scored. Well done Jordan! Kachunga 7 was lively. He will be an asset to us which is why it pissed me off that people criticized this signing. Has a bit of pace and annoys defenders. Palmer 6 did nothing wrong Reach 6 did ok but where are his shooting boots from two years ago? Monk 8. Spot on tactics. We seem a lot more solid. Just need another 45 games like that. Easy done, right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone remind Harris to take Bennett out of his pocket too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I went for Izzy Brown, but everyone played their part, nobody had a bad game. Got to give Monk credit, he'll always have a face I'd want to punch, but he had us well organised and everyone knew their job. Onwards and hopefully upwards sooner than expected.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I euphemistically referred to bringing home a shank of lamb to cheer Snoots when he left the Nuns Chuff. Wel my, her indoors, couldn't get the Lamb so we are more than happy with the leg of pork for todays Sunday roast which I will enjoy to the full. The result was sound but more importantly the fans for who we have lifted an air of impending and increasing desperation is a relief. I was honestly beginning to think they would take us all down with them. There'll be dips and recoveries of form but I firmly believe we'll be fine. We have 3 defenders to add to our rear guard and a couple of targets still on the shopping list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ferkorf Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I picked Brown but it wasn't an easy decision to be fair if I could have voted for Monk I would have. We played well and lets face it we probably werent even at our best. All the players put a shift in and showed some fight. Hopefully take that into the Watford game and lets see if we can get some more points on the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackSWFC Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Everyone played for the team and there were no bad performances, but MOM was Windass for me. Scored one, made one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Windass for me. Not just for setting things up nicely with the opener, but an all round strikers game. An assist and a long range shot that had the keeper scrambling. Not a target man but an old fashioned inside forward of the type we’ve been missing. Close run thing between him and Brown though.

legendaryswan Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Very hard to single out one player,it was a team performance and everyones stuck to their guns,Id go for Harris,never gave up and so much energy up and down that flank,locked it down,but made the runs,always involved never gave up,Im not a fan of Harris,but he caught my attention today with his work rate at both ends of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daizan10 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I think the changes Cardiff made (going to 4-4-2) was stupid as it allowed Bannan to do what he does best and control the game - as we had a spare man in the middle. Really bad management from Harris and I hope more teams are managed in a similar fashion. Still, Bannan and the rest of the team capitalised on it superbly. Many great performances, but I gave it to Windass. A goal and an assist. If we can be this lethal in front of goal all season, we will be OK. UTO!

shezzas left peg Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Good solid team performance. There's some positives and some things we need to improve upon,but overall you can't knock a 0-2 away win. We'll done to everyone of the lads hard to pick a man of the match, but that says we played well as a unit and a team, so happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
