Great credit to the lads to keep going and they all deserve praise for effort but lets not get too carried away with this. Its one result. Local derbies dont tend to be ordinary games and this one was no different. From a critics point of view i would be concerned that our full backs were made to look poor yesterday. Hecky and Ozzie made too many errors for my liking. The two front men offered little but effort. Rico had his worst game yet and Tommy simply cannot compete at this level. Number of headed challenges won? 10%. He was also at fault for their first goal by not marking properly. Simply not good enough. We looked dangerous with Mcindoe and Howard attacking in the second half and Nads has more ability to score than any of the other strikers on the books. By the way despite being Reids biggest critic i actually thought he did ok today.
You are right about both Nardiello and Reid. Nardiello really should start now because he is obviously more likely to score than Richards, Hayes or Wright. The fact we scored 3 and 0 came from strikers speaks for itself. Both Kay and Reid did better today and had clearly worked on closing people down on the edge of the box, having lost goals from there at wendy and Derby.
