neio Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Really good performance, first half was really good, second half was professional. Didn't really feel like we were in trouble at all Away game, 3 points, clean sheet. Can't ask for anything more 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Tidy, professional away win against a good side. First half passing was insanely good. That was Rostyn Griffiths' best game for the club for mine and seeing Jamie Maclaren hit the top of the Golden Boot after his stuttered start to the season is so good. It's amazing how big a confidence team we are - suddenly we went from shitfighting at the bottom of the table to contending again. Good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Rostyn was immense. Boys looked sharp and seemed a little more assured without being micro managed from the bench. Des looks and acts the part ... makes an immense difference when JMac takes his chances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Credit where it is due. That was a very solid away win. Brilliant in the first half and deserved to be two or three up, professional and strong in the second. And that after losing two first pick midfielders, and having a central defender go off in the second. The difference appears to have been Nabbout, not least because he makes space for Macca. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just him, having Griffiths in defensive midfield in front of two experienced and solid central defenders is a big help. All of a sudden we’ve got a tough spine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Really good win away from home. Played them off the park for 70minutes. we coped really well with the absence of our talisman Luna and hats off to Tsubaki for coping at being thrust into midfield at a moment’s notice. The last 20 minutes we let them right back into it but fortunately we scrambled in defence and got the clean sheet. Big Rosto is also my MoM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluka Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Ibini coming on mirrored Ninkovic coming on for Sydney last week except we handled it much better this time, good to see we have learned from it. A really strong outing, Noone’s nutmeg in the box was a peach, shame he couldn’t cap it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 This is a very good read.

Dylan Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Pretty damn impressive imo. Given all of the disruption and changes. It tells me that the club do have a game plan that at least everyone is onboard with and knows there role. As always the question is about whether it’s going to be the same week after week which has always been our issue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think I should introduce a more sober view point. Great to win and we deserved it, but: * Duke missed a sitter that he’d bury 19 times out of 20 * Glover pulled off a top drawer save * Defender (not sure who) blocked a shot by Muller that normally would be a goal. * they also had lesser chances. Paddy (who prepared the team and deserves the credit) still has plenty to work on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy (who prepared the team and deserves the credit) still has plenty to work on. All true. But on our side, Nabbout hit the post, Macca had one ruled out for offside and missed a couple more that we might have expected him to bury, and there were other chances. Their keeper also saved well at least once. Could also have ended 5-2 but on balance we were by far the better side. And I'm officially one of this season's pessimists... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Really great game and win. We were absolutely dominant in the first half. If there are no injuries we are on the course for another great game on this Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Ever since Nabbout has come back, we have just looked so much more potent up forward. I think noone has benefitted the most from this as beforehand, I think he was having to handle the attacking workload. It's also cool to see how both wingers interchange with each other, adding another attacking string to our bow.
