We were very impressive Jorv. Playing as a team with defence, midfield and forwards all in synch first half. Could easily have been 4-0 up at the break. Second half we reigned it in and kept them very comfortably at arm’s length. Marshall had no saves to make in the whole game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
For you lot yes, now feck off.
Would have been 4-0 if I'd have shown up.
Thank God Wayne didn't play a 4-3-3 and just told the lads to run around a bit.
Simple game, I keep telling you.

The players need to have bars through their bodies like table footballers then you can line them up how you want 2W, give them a spin when they need to shoot. It's the way forward for the likes of Cocu and yourself. Don't let the players think for themselves.
Actually been noticing that the most effective way of playing to score a goal is one touch passing in the final third. This is the case whether you favour possession or counter attacking.
Did anybody think the pitch looked awful last night ? Clearly we've had rain but I've never seen it looking that bad....it resembled the old BBG pitch. Wonder if it had been given an "extra watering" as Cloughie used to do to give us an advantage....any thoughts ???

Apart, those of us who are fully licences UEFA level coaches will have read up on the stats which back up your statement.
Most goals involve less than 4 touches by attacking players in the opposition half.
It really is all about what you do in their half that matters.
Likewise, very few defenders make more than 2 tackles in a game. They concentrate on interceptions and winning the 50/50s.
It is a simple game ... if you know where the simple wins are.

It was said on Radio Derby before that their manager said he was looking forward to his team playing on a great pitch after complaining about the state if the Cardiff one, so might be something in that.

Morning all,
Keep the flame of hope burning. We will turn the corner and get a couple of goals. Maybe this evening is the time. I'm happy to leave team selection to Wayne and his team and will sit back with a drink of something relaxing before stress levels rise too far. Who knows, our lads might get some early success to prevent the rise in stress to even begin. Forest winning might prove the spur, though I think they don't need a spur, more an injunction to take more care to put the ball into the net when chances are created.
COYR.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I want you all to know I take all (most) of the credit for last evening's brilliant performance against a very good and in form Swansea side, I was wishing it all day and I got what I wished for. I had a glass of malt whilst Mrs Ramdini was cooking my dinner, and it was ready to eat just as the final whistle blew.
It is unfair to highlight any particular player. They were all magnificent and the defence was so solid against the leagues's most prolific attack that Marshall's contribution was limited to just two superb punched clearances only a minute apart.
In contradiction of the above however, Bielik, Clarke and Buchanan deserve a mention. What a brilliant young left back Buchanan has developed into! And think how much Clarke has advanced, He was everywhere he was most needed last night and never put a foot wrong. As for our diminutive and bearded Scot, he was also aggressively, every where and stopped many and many a Swansea attack before they even got started. But back to the theme above - the lads were - everyone - magnificent in that game. If they continue in that vein for the rest of the season. play-offs or even autos are very possible.
The pitch did look lousy.

Well done Ramdini your wishes came true. I couldn't believe how well we played and it was so nice that the defence weren't passing back all the time. I said before in this thread that Cocu looks a worse manager every game we play and we also do better with 11 players who give a bit of fight, by that I mean in the football sence not cowardly little fouls when the player has his back to him.
Happy Christmas to you Ramdini and to your wife, look after her.
Ramdini, why did you stop doing your "for those who could not attend" articles?
