Stoke v Swans : The biggest test so far for Matos on 09:21 - Dec 11 with 790 viewsWhiterockin

Remaining fixtures this year are.

Stoke away Saturday
Wrexham home Friday 19th
Coventry away Friday 26th
Oxford away Monday 29th

One home game and three tricky away games. There is a decent amount of recovery time between matches which is unusual for Christmas, it gets a lot tighter early in the new year. Hopefully Matos will be able develop the squad further into the way he wants us to play but it won't be easy with those fixtures, although I think three of the four are definitely winnable if we play well.

Not an easy place to go and crowd will be backing them against a Welsh team
Big team against a small team
It looks too tough for us BUT
Get it right and we can get a result

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

We were still leaving the wide players have too much time and space against Portsmouth and were lucky Murphy didn’t hurt us more , against Stoke we have to be tighter and more alert,we can’t keep doing it

We werent lucky against Portsmouth, our back 4 gave them little and they were lucky that we didn't finish certain chances we made.

It should have been at least 2 probably 3.

As someone has posted on another topic, saturday will be a yardstick to how far matos has taken us, he has definitely worked on our defence, let's hope that they dont give stoke many chances.

I agree. We looked much better at the back. We were very open at West Brom and the games before.

I think we’ve improved more than it looked against Portsmouth. Hard to really tell against teams who set up like them and Oxford.

The onus will be on Stoke to come at us and that will give a better indication of where we are defensively, pressing and on the counterattack.

Murphy did have loads of space on Wednesday, particularly first half , it was right in front of of me ,particularly when Galbraith went forward and the ball was turned over, a bloke just below me was going mad over it , our central defenders did well but we can’t keep allowing teams space like that

It used to be said that the hallmark of a good player is that they always seem to have time and space. Murphy is a good player.

It also has to be said that despite being their primary attacking outlet, he didn't actually create all that many openings.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I see what you’re saying,my point is we can’t keep letting it happen because sooner or later someone will take advantage of it and hurt us
Better If we don’t give them the space in the first place

What did they do with it? One shot iirc.

Did you want galbraith to stay put at RB and not bother attacking?

He was their danger man certainly, but I agree, he didn’t actually threaten us that much. It was just a bit worrying when he got on the ball.

It’s hard to be neutral, but I’d think a neutral watching that without knowing any of the players, would say Eom was more of a threat than Murphy.

It’s absolutely essential
Vitor has on just one month seen our biggest liability and acted
I think he’s going to be hot property coach and we’ll be lucky to keep him come the end of the season , especially if he reboots us
He’s doing what the previous two coaches didn’t have the guts to do

Why don’t we see if Matos can sort him out?
