Nigel Posted March 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Its worth noting that he is 1 goal behind the leaders in the top goal scoring chart! (He has 16, Bobby Reid and Matej Vydra both have 17) Adomah is 5th on a fantastic 14 goals, the top midfielder!

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Done the business. Great performance leading the line yesterday. We needed a forward to come in and hit the ground running and Lewis has done that, slotted in nicely wasting no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted March 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2018 1 hour ago, PieFacE said: I actually thought he had a poor first half. Decision making was quite bad every time he touched the ball. Like when he had the ball a the byline and decided to still shoot. Had to put the ball across the face of goal there. But he was excellent in the second half so fair play to the man! Yes, he definitely made a couple of poor decisions, one of which almost certainly cost us a goal, but it is also true that he's a striker and his first instinct is to go for goal if he thinks there is a chance. I guess there are pluses and minuses to that kind of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 3 hours ago, PompeyVillan said: Grabban seems to be able to hold the ball up and run the channels and pose a goal threat. I don't know whether anyone else noticed, but we pressed Wolves really high up the pitch, meaning Snodgrass, Adomah and Grabban had to put a real shift in. It was tactically astute by Bruce, but if it hadn't been executed well it have left us really exposed. Credit to Grabban for being able to take this on so quickly. He didn't give their defenders a moments peace, their center backs didn't want to pump the ball forward for Jedinak or our defenders to clear up so they were forced into attempting risky diagonals to the full backs and wingers. Who were harassed and chased down by everyone. I think if Grabban doesn't get this right then our game plan falls to bits. They get an easy ball into midfield, and from there they expose the gaps out wide from our high press. Basically I'm massively impressed with Grabban. Tbf, Wolves didn't show our attack a lot of respect lining up how they did. Bruce capitalised on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Another one I got wrong, serves me right for listening to Sunderland fans. They said he was lazy. He is not lazy. They said he never jumps or heads the ball. He scored against them with a header. They said he is a miserable bastard. He was all smiles post match Wolves. They said he has a crappy wispy beard.. ok I will give them that one. Stonking player Lewis is. Although he is 30 I would take him for next season. Regardless of which league we are in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
