Surprised Stephan went with the same team, bar Nardi. I'd have thought 2 or 3 needed a rest. Madsen hasn't been at his best in recent games and Cook often shows his age. On the other hand Burrell seems to just keep going. And hasn't Morgan done enough in a couple of sub appearances too deserve a start?
The second Norwich goal was a blatant foul, but our defence looks vulnerable. There's not much evidence of positive input fr.om Steve Bould.
Maybe we were tired after the long trip and late return on Wednesday, but we just didn't cover the spaces in midfield and far too often Norwich could easily pass through us.
But 6 points in a 3 game week is a good return. |

Mixed bag of a performance. Against a team that can score goals we'd have lost and this could have gone either way. Some of our approach work was very good, but too often the final ball or cross went astray. But can't knock 2 wins on the trot and Smyth was excellent when he came on. |

Excellent result, but to be honest, a funny performance. We should have found the back of the net more than three times. Some great moves and some iffy defending. JCS was unsurprisingly rusty and probably at fault for both goals. Varane and Dembele had their best games of the season, but Chair was outstanding. Kolli did well in his short outing. Great to see him on the pitch and I wonder if he could start ahead of Kone, who's form has dipped. |

With Esquerdinha a weak link on the left and Vale out of form on the right both wings were vulnerable and lacked pace. Burrell did his best chasing lost causes and pressing, Kone had a couple of half chances but had misplaced his scoring boots. Bringing on Frey doesn't fill you with hope.
Has this division improved in quality since last season. Last year we (or I) thought Frey and Nardi were upgrades but now they feel below par. And our central defence seems very weak. Morrison hasn't developed as we hoped, Cook often looks his age and Mbengue is Mbengue. One option is to move Jimmy back to CB. Although his form hasn't been great he does win headers.
MotM Burrell. |

Agree with much of the previous post. We played 2 big men up front (though Kone's not that tall)) and kept hitting crosses that the Millwall defence mostly dealt with easily. I assume Saito and Burrell didn't start because of their international travels, but it showed how important they've become to us. We were much better when they came on.
Frey was poor and it was a shame not to give Kolli an opportunity. Should we conclude Stefan isn't convinced by him? Not sure if Nardi was at fault for the first goal, but our defence was all over the place.
In fact, Rs weren't that bad but didn't have much luck and the ref wasn't prepared to give a penalty. I thought there was at least one very good shout. I also thought Burrell might have been offside for the consolation goal. |

Good win in a tricky game. The quality we now have up front makes all the difference even if Nardi looks shaky, Jimmy struggles (I thought he got little help yesterday) and Madsen is Madsen (definitely adding some defensive awareness to his game, but there are moments when Sam or Hayden look the safer bet).
I thought the ref gave in too often to Stoke's rolling around and whingeing.
Koni isn't the quickest and his first touch could be better, but apart from his obvious goal scoring exploits and ability to give the ball a real whack he shows excellent awareness of where his fellow strikers are and gets the ball to them. He also plays a full part when forced to defend
MotM Harvey Vale. |

Mustn't get carried away but some extremely promising signs in our attacking pace, movement and finishing. Burrell outstanding but all the front men did well. Kone took his goal brilliantly, but his lack of mobility was evident sometimes. Vale excellent at linking reverythng together. |

What a difference long balls and a proper CF can make. Rs were much more physical and assertive from the start but then conceded a lot of possession, and in truth were a little lucky in the end. The Charlton goal had been coming. Our subs, esp Koki, made the difference. Far from convinced by Walsh and although Kone did well some of the online comments have been over the top. Madsen is improving and did well to hang on in there in a game he wasn't suited to. My MotM is Varane, but it was a good all round performance. More please! |
