did it look like the shackles had been freed in comparison to what had gone before? if so i wonder if RS knew he was under great pressure  and this was almost a last throw of the dice, acknowledging that his previous plan just wasn't working?


To be honest I am still struggling to come to terms with the complete reformation in our performance compared to every other home game this season. I would also add that at half- time the vast majority of fans sat near me in the upper findus agreed that should we play similarly in the second half but go on to lose the game we would still go home thoroughly entertained. In addition tribute should be paid to those that attended as when we went behind and maybe struggled to get going in the first part of the second half as nobody got on their backs or started moaning but actually got behind the team throughout.

Difference was pace, moving the ball quickly, getting it wide, early quality crosses and getting men in the box. Everything we all wanted all on one night, unbelievable and bloody enjoyable.

The wingers were able to be more effective because of the excellent support from the full-backs. I think Mills had a great game and proved that he must be the regular right back. In the same way  Davies should be the regular left back and Dixon must be kept out of the starting line-up at all costs!


You missed my point, whilst having a good full back behind you is essential, the very fact that DJ was always prepared to take on the full back and beat him, get to the by-line and pull the ball back especially for Dembele's goal is something that we have been missing with playing Woolford wide.

Quoted from Tommy
Davies has done really well at left back. Better than I expected of him and seems to be better suited there to right back based on this albeit brief evidence.


Don't know that he's better suited - he's just a lot better than Dixon (panic signing!)

I didn't miss the point and would never take away from the efforts of both wingers. I was just making the point that it was good to see Mills back and it gave a different dynamic on the right wing. After 30 seconds of the game Mills put in a terrific cross which could so easily have resulted in a goal. Mills should be the automatic choice in that position now.
