Spoony Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Surprised at the votes for the ref being poor. It's a huge derby yet he got all the big decisions right and I barely noticed he was there. Top refereeing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 great second half, stuck in witton lane until train comes for the unwashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmacf Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Very glad to beat them obviously. Some good individual performances but really we should be beating them and we did. Good refereeing performance. Game played in good spirit on the whole. Not even being biased though, they looked poor. Only had one genuine scoring chance and they messed it up. Easy save for Guzan. It was a Premier League side worth a lot of money versus a Championship team not worth much at all. As I started, I'm very glad we won! Deserved.

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sherwood changed the game tonight with his subs, tactics tim! Ayew silenced the doubters, always had the movement just needed the confidence! Great to show them what the holte can be like when we have something to support aswell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2015 How many games has Gestede started? Is this possibly still a 1 in 2 ratio?Ayew has cheered me up, especially his understanding with Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Ayew has arrived. Him, Richards and Grealish all superb in the second half. Lescott was so poor, the ball was like a hit potato. GET IN! Edited September 22, 2015 by Razor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shomin Geki Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Yeah, it'll do. Nice to win. Grealish and Richards obviously class. Don't let Gestede's hammerhead routine fool you; the lumbering oaf has the touch of a tazered elk. An impact sub methinks. Some positive signs though. Ayew appears to have come out of his shell nicely. His footwork was pleasingly liquid. I'm not sure what to make of the Veretout plaudits. Could those who were enthused please tell me exactly what the bloke does?The biggest problem for me was the gaping space between the players. Midfield retention is a major issue. Unsexy but vital. Intricate interplay in the centre of the park is the Holy Grail. You also have to question the leadership of a team that breezily allows a rookie teenage sub to completely dictate play. A double-edged sword though. Grant Grealish an aggressive burst of pace and we have a player player on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jareth Posted September 22, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2015 Just to add about Richards - this guy imposes on any game, he is a big character and he has something to say in every game he plays. Well happy that he is our player, for some time to come. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thought Ayew really played well, did his part. Happy for him, hope he kicks on now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sherwood is a lucky boy tonight. No matter what he said in his interview, he made a very big mistake with his starting selection. But his subs changed the game. Ayew was fantastic, the player we thought we had bought, as was Grealish. They seemed to galvanise the rest of the players, who were all much better second half.

Should have at least been a corner anyway. I think the point about keeping a potentially hostile occassion relatively clean is a valid one, even though I did initially vote 'poor'.

rjw63 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I said before the game it's a no win situation for us - if we lose we never hear the end of it. If we win, it's "you're in the Premier, you've spent millions, you only just scraped it blah blah blah" and that's exactly what the kiddyfiddlers are coming out with on Radio WM.
