In praise of all things RUFC
Permalink  
 

Totally dominated from start to finish today. As controlled a game as you could hope to see-never in danger.

 

We were decisive and played very good football.

It wasn't just good possession but professional and hard working.

 

Those that remain biased will just say it proves nothing but if they could be more honest with themselves it actually proves everything. They didnt believe the staff could play football and set the team up.

They said the staff were out of the depth and useless and naive. Who among them would have been able to get two back to back wins...indeed our first since returning to the championship. Not only have the team proved the critics wrong but they have actually done better than ever before.

 

Patience was deserved and still is but praise should be forthcoming without the slightest bit of irony.

 

step up and just enjoy it for once.

Great stuff, but the question is how come it has suddenly changed?

No seriously, being so far away I have no idea of what has suddenly changed. From nowhere to playing well, how did it happen?

its going to depend on opinions of course...

its true we have had all players available for the first time in the last 2 games.

The 2 Norwich lads have given real penetration and balance to the side.

Camp!

The rise of JCH.

Rawson and Collins.

All things that have happened over the last 3 games v the first several.

and of course it takes time for teams to come into and out of form.

one more thing not to be underestimated and that was as good an away support as we have had for some time. Real belief from the off and never stopped.

Sickly. Two things. Playing players in their preferred positions. And playing 4 4 2. Keep things simple, adapt when u need to but most of all, play as a team. We were a cohesive 11 today with coverage all over the pitch, playing into the corners, low crosses. And how did andreu score that goal. Pure class. Great away day, that will live long in the memory. Potentially nearly Mid table after Friday, who would have thought that 10 days ago.

My two penneth

The team that started the season would have been whipping boys and we would have been relegated.

Changes came.

Roos to camp
Halford to Rawson
Halford captaincy to Frecklington.
Loan window opened.

All 4 were significant improvements and thus turned our corner.

IMHO we were ill equipped and poor team selection and tactics were predictable. Add to that the fact that Lady Luck significantly favoured the opposition.

Then came Cardiff. Lady Luck changed her mind and favoured us.

Cardiff had just lost to hull
Birmingham had just lost to villa
Burnley have just lost to Reading.

I believe strongly that winning becomes a habit, therefore so does losing. The best time to play a team is when they have just lost.

Evans away from the training ground this week due to illness followed by Rotherham playing their best football of the season.........coincidence or causation?
