A beautifully crafted homage to Stan. Thanks for that. |

He looked good. A shame Willock didn’t make him work harder when he had that left foot chance in first half, a tame effort. |

Didn’t notice that! Ok, my cynicism is restored. |

Apologies if this is elsewhere, I was struck by Dieng, the master of time wasting and shithousery, not indulging in either in the final part of the game, and getting on with it almost briskly. I’m a football romantic so I like to think it was out of respect for us. Or is that far-fetched? |

Stroke of genius, pushing him forward: turns out that the assets which make him a great tackler - anticipation, courage, sharpness - also make him something of a goal poacher. Those two last night were Bryan Robson-ish. |

There should be no music at all, apart from "Here I Go Again" by the Hollies, when the teams come out. (Old person). |

Thread | What is a number 10?
at 08:00 18 Feb 2024
I get the shorthand of "three number 10s" when describing the three we had playing behind Dykes yesterday. But I'm not sure Chair and Willock really qualify. For all their many strengths, they are both dribblers, they hang on to the ball, sometimes for too long, and lack the peripheral vision, speed of thought and appreciation of angles that mark the real number 10. That actually makes them quite hard to incorporate into a team - imagine being the striker that has to time his run when either of them gets the ball and starts jinking and dummying. Andersen to me looks like the real thing. And we have always loved a proper number 10. |

Loved Dunne’s performance today. Clearly not a full back, looked occasionally clumsy, sliced one or two into the stand - but obeyed orders to push forward, took on his man a couple of times, maintained good concentration, strong in the air. The series of 50-50s at the end was superb. The very definition of whole-hearted. |

Useful for dramatic effect. Bosingwa performed poorly for QPR; indeed many considered him to be the most inadequate player in the club's history. (Who tackled like a semi-colon.) |

That was strange. He clutched his hamstring, I think. But then a few seconds later he went on a plausible spring chasing a ball in front of him. Even the slightest pull on a hamstring and you do not go sprinting. |

I've been really supportive of most of his decisions, and like the way he does things. But what was that? Playing Willock, who clearly lacks the energy and intensity for a game of such magnitude, ahead of Smith? No high pressing, except once in the second half when their defender duly gave it straight to us? Sticking Willock and Chair on the wings with obvious orders not to roam, which is their (theoretical) strength? Eleven men back for every set piece when we have the fastest player on the pitch at centre forward? Was he playing for a draw? Mystifying, and very poor. |
