Jareth Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 two sets of teams desperate for it and it comes down to talent, we have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Thanks for the stats both. I mean its FELT better this past season or so, I guess it IS better. It used to be nailed on we would find someway to concede late or lose from a winning position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I don’t think Boro can play better than that ( although they might convert a chance or two next time) whereas I am certain we can match our defensive performance and play far better up top. Barring something horrendous I’m confident about Wembley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not used to us holding on to leads even though we are brilliant at it now and have been all season.As you said for so many years we conceded late goals and it’s still etched in to our memories.

Need to be solid yet able to break effectively. That second half we couldnt get our own half. I think we will beat them 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Whelan, Jedinak, Bjarnson need to be understood, they are crucial in us managing a game out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 How do we approach Tuesday's match? I think we could play like we did in the second half today again and quite easily not concede for the whole match. But then again, it's going to be a full-house at VP and i'm sure things could get very nervy. I certainly wouldn't like to be the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a solid away team that is quick on the break. Second half we parked the bus a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to manage the game in a similar fashion......They need to open up now, so that will give us the advantage to play the counter attack at home, which is quite unusual....We clearly have the advantage as long as we don't **** up. We don't need to be cavalier....just professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is far more special than him , let them worry about us . traore has pace yes but his end product is often lacking .

We done very well.....appreciate our achievement so far. We have done very well - as I said an extremely solid performance and hugely impressive - I’m delighted with the whole team and staff - wasn’t a criticism of us in any way as I expect us to finish them off on Tuesday comfortably . i don’t think boro are that decent a side and think villa looked very comfortable and see little to worry about in the home leg . For me we had a game plan that worked very well and Bruce has outwitted pulis . johnstone had 2 saves to make and that’s a testament to how well we performed , there was no luck involved - only their keeper stopped a 2 goal lead - we were superb defensively and Grealish immense i can see villa v derby at Wembley and I think that will very much be ours for the taking Edited May 12, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
