OldRobert 38 Posted January 1, 2018 Thank God for that. Not a good first half from what I gather, but a much improved second. I hope we have Maddison for the rest of the season, I would fear for us without him, amongst others. OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,492 Posted January 1, 2018 We need more performances like that second half in the next few difficult matches. Good test today after Burton but Milwall were quite average. Not sure this is a turning point but the form table looks better over last 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,492 Posted January 1, 2018 Like the avatar Ron. One of my favourite series. Agree about the better watch today. We deserved that win. No question.

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 1, 2018 Phew.Similar to Sheffield Wednesday in that we came out with purpose and the whole team looked better going forward. Players were making runs and chasing things down.Why don’t we actually start games like that instead of with the same dross that has plagued our season?

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted January 1, 2018 [quote user="Rock The Boat"]Tough run coming up. Next seven league games against teams higher in the table.[/quote]Exactly, and on the last two showings we don’t look good enough.Fair play, wins a win and that’s pleasing. But we’re going nowhere with Webber and Farke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolf Harris 31 Posted January 1, 2018 Think people need to be patient. Mid table is about right this season. Give Farke some time. No point changing it at this point. Give it till the end of the season and judge from there. We''re not going to get play offs, so fans need to get it out their mindset. Let''s just get some stability and push on next season! Hopefully get rid of the deadwood in summer and bring in some more exciting talent as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That''s all that''s needed to effect the transformation of your so-called "dross" (not actually dross at all) into winning football. Shows that, contrary to what seems to be the orthodoxy on here, there is progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 1, 2018 Much in the same way as some people don''t bother when we win, where are some people when the going is turgid?I do like listening to Greg Downs as he tells it as a spectator would.There were several glaring strategic errors today that maybe a British coach would have put right.Like for instance putting Hanley man for man on Morrison. Like Downs said, he can''t be you for speed but can murder you in the air. But we stuck with our zonal marking so poor old Lewis had no chance in the air when Morrison played on him.And when the equaliser went in and Millwall were on the ropes a bit, there was no going for the jugular. Just hoping a second goal would go in.And the negative substitutions were appalling in the circumstances of the match.I am sorry but how anybody can say that was a good match has me confounded. We were better than against Burton but we did have a better line up. And we have two Prem class midfield players in Maddison and Pritchard.But we have a poor striker who unfortunately has to wait until the two players making the plays can get up to support him.Transition maybe but surely there are times when Plan A or long term tactics get overlooked for the sake of the game you are playing at the time. And if someone puts that word n--ce on again when they must be as thick as two planks to use it, I will scream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted January 1, 2018 I must say I enjoy getting back from a win at Carrow Road and reading through these match threads. Lincoln in particular is really good comedic value. Expert opinion proven wrong time and time again.For the record, first 25 minutes first half we were actually good and created 3 good chances. Oliviera was awful. To win when your only striker is offering literally nothing is a good sign, but we need him or Jerome to either find form or a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted January 1, 2018 Good result but the fact that we''ve only taken 7 points out of 12 against 4 very average teams doesn''t really change things that much.Still tough times ahead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 1, 2018 Someone''s coming in with crazy money soon for MaddisonPeople going on about Lewis only still 19 (just) but Maddison is just 21 and bosses the game.He could be really tidy in the Prem with the right team (Spurs?) and right manager.
