Owly Mowly Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Dawson 2 good saves but lucky to get away with the pad out in the first half. Luongo was great but he will pick up quite a few yellows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I think Luongo for me with Lees a close 2nd. We need more up front and we need Bannan firing...thought he was poor today We were on top first half but hanging on in 2nd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, but thought he wasn't the best today. Didn't come and claim the ball, spilled saves that he can normally keep hold off. He's made a couple of decent saves, so you can't fault him. I've gone for Lees as MoM. Lees didn't put a foot wrong all game. Neither did JVA or Iorfa for that matter. Lees held it together and made some critical clearances in the second half. Watford didn't show up in the first half, but clearly had a bigger impact in possession in our half in the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosborough-owl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Went for Harris. He was up and down all game. Against a team like Watford who are so good going forward, he kept his Concentration all game. Didn’t let the team down. Thought everyone put a shift in tho. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Dawson 7 too decent saves but should be getting stronger hands on them. Saved by Harris both times Iorfa 7 solid. Missed a good chance Lees 8 outstanding. -1 as he should have scored van Aken 6 ok but Borner is better Harris 7 defensively excellent. Not great going forward Penney 5 struggled and poor crossing Luongo 8 battled brilliantly Bannan 6 not his kind of game Brown 7 outstanding first half but not great in the second. Poor header at the end Windass 7 worked hard, great block and should have had a penalty Rhodes 6 worked hard Palmer 6 Kachunga 5 struggled Reach 6 Take a point all day long. Desperately need a big centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobbinTheDonkey Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Went for Harris purely because he ran and ran, then the mopping up he did. Some players switch off and ball watch but he followed the ball making vital clearances. Edited September 19, 2020 by DobbinTheDonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some fantastic body on the line defensive work at corners and throughout the game and distributed well. Also competed well throughout in the air. Not sure what people expect that he isn't delivering. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think more I was referening that he is winning on MOTM, not trying to fault him as such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) We're playing well. We had the first half, and despite them having the second we stuck to it, booted it and leathered it when required. Not always pretty in the second 45 minutes. But there's more to football than playing nice stuff. There's a little bit of edge to the side this year. A little bit more nigglyness in the make up. Well good. Because it's something we've long missed , IMO. Yes. Keep playing like this, keep keeping those clean sheets and we'll soon start clawing our way back up that table. Of course it will then become tricky with the player rating scores for those folks that have firmly nailed their colours to the mast previously about which players aren't up to it. They have to admit the players have improved or that they were wrong. Or they stick to their guns in the face of the all evidence to convince themselves they were right as usual.

It was good by his standards, but he’s a fair way from being what we need at this level IMO There’s a lot of shinning the ball, reactivity and bad positioning that goes on if you watch him properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Lees for me, but Van Aken also impressed. I don’t think too many teams will get all 3 points against Watford, so, on that basis, I was reasonably happy with a draw in the end. We were the better team in the first half, but they finished the second half the stronger team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Vs Watford Dawson, 7 – Couple of decent saves in the second half (not easy, but would expect to make), could have done better with Murray’s shot in the first half Iorfa, 8 – won a lot in the air and defended well, missed a chance with his head Lees, 8 – gritty performance, won plenty in the air and three at the back means he has more options on the ball Van Aken, 7 – mostly decent and seems to have toughened up a bit, but did give away a couple of needless corners Harris, 7 – impressive work rate and defence, just a couple of times when he needed to show quality in final third and he didn’t Penney, 7 – thought he looked better than last week, surprised he was subbed but Palmer did well too Luongo, 8 – MoM, one of his best games for us, really impressive in shielding the defence, showed good strength on the ball and looked like making things happen Bannan, 7 – Couple of nice turns and balls over the top, worked hard, but bit subdued Brown, 7 – would have been my MoM for the first half – he gets into really dangerous positions and intercepts so well. Faded a bit in second half. Windass, 7 – really like his work rate and energy, bursting through, think he’s a key player, great block near the end Rhodes, 6 – tried hard, but the ball didn’t seem to stick like when Kachunga was up front Subs Palmer, 7 – great cross near the end Kachunga, 7 – a couple of nearly moments – and held the ball up better, could have shot rather than passed near the end Reach, N/A – not on long enough to judge 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_Owl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Dawson 7 some great saves but he needs to push the ball away from the danger area Iorfa 7 Lees 8 solid motm Van aken 6 Harris 6 Bannan 6 Luongo 7 Brown 7 Penney 6 (should have been Harris subbed imo) Windass 7 tried Rhodes 6 Palmer 6 Kachunga 6 Reach NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
