That was a grit and determination win. Lacking in quality at times, but real effort and commitment from everyone got us over the line there. Felt like a big win, that.
We've not offered much in the middle of the park. Really need more from central areas as we're almost entirely limiting ourselves to doing everything down the flanks where there are too many bodies. Nunes and Eom lacking quality in key moments not helping - as well as Tymo being a non-factor...
the towel thing is common in the US, particularly ‘football’ (NHL and college). We’re not talking full beach towels here, just a commemorative item you’re supposed to wave above your head
Penn State Univeristy is deeply addicted to white towel waving as an example:
First half we made Derby retreat and play deep as we were picking them off in the press very effectively. I really don't think that was their game plan, especially looking at how pissed off and visibly frustrated Eustace looked. 2nd half after they got the lead it was a different game.
I thought we had plenty of quick turnovers, especially in the first half when Franco was at his pick-pocketing best. We just did nothing with them as we get the bends when we get to the final 3rd.
Meh. A very Swansea City day today. Slow passing among ourselves in our own half in injury time when we're 2 down was the chef's kiss there. Just too slow all round today, not enough desire. The frustrating thing is we look a good team in general until we get in the final 3rd and we turn to...
Franco looking like the player that won those awards his first season.
Game will no doubt be played at a much more frantic tempo 2nd half if the Derby players can get Eustace's boot out of their arse. Not sure a more frantic game hurts us though as this walking pace football isn't getting us...
The left-tackle is especially important as they protect the blind-side (for right-handed QBs), so it's especially important to have a good left tackle or else your QB will just keep getting hit and get the jitters. Usually if a team has a good LT they lock them down, the rarely make it to free...
Game went how you'd expect really. Absolutely brutal for the rookies on the left of the Patriots OL (and therefore Maye who was bullied all night). That Seahawks defence is nasty (their punter was nailing everything as well).
There was a time as the 3rd quarter went on where everyone watching...
