What a difference a couple of class strikers make, especially these two, their work rate and willingness to harass the Stoke defence must have made life so much easier for the midfield and in turn the defence. Can you imagine what would have happened had Nads been playing? Every clearance would have been comfortably dealt with by Stoke and the ball would have been back at our defence in seconds. Apart being rescued by from McCann's goal-line header, Colgan must have had one of his quietest matches this season, a couple of easy catches and not a save to make.
I love how we have to bring Nards in to it. I don't think Rico would have got near any of the four goals Ferenzi has scored and probably only Nards or Hayes would have got to that position last night
Bit harsh on Rico. First thought as Ferengi scored last night was how similar it was to one of Richards' finishes at Forest last season. Both class.
Agreed My point was that Nads is very lazy when he's neither in posession nor in with a chance of a goal. The 2 Hungarian lads (and Richards to be fair) put themselves about and cause defenders to pass sideways or backwards. When Nads is on the pitch, defenders have all the time in the world to deal with clearances and return the ball quickly back towards our goals - you don't often see Nads blocking shots in our box either. I was also struck by the similarity between the goal last night and Richards' effort against Forest last season.
Clean sheet. Lewin was trying to organise things at the back against Hull. It seems he's shamed Paul Reid into sorting himself out - as he looked a different player last night. If Togwell isn't the first name on the teamsheet for the rest of the season - then Davey should have Dwayne Mattis inserted anally. Top result. I'm going to name my next 4 children "Istvan".
I'm going to get Site Admin to remove that. I don't want my personal details posted on here. You're nearly as funny as SM sticking his chest out this morning.
