As Ian Holloway once said “She might not be the prettiest bird, but she went home in a Taxi with us”
Not the best performance but 3 points is in the bag, Lincoln can feel hard done for the effort they put in today as they operate with a big budget but those players put the hard yards in and made it tricky for us to play around them.
Very similar performance to Tuesday night.
Smyth, Vale very poor today, Kempner quite and Poku came into more in the second half.
I think the difference was we was able to bring on a bit quality in Chair and Cirkin.
Obikwu if you have not got natural ability you need to make for it in effort so he needs to learn quickly on that front.
MOM Ronnie is Ronnie and is a level above, but I thought Varane good was good but that balanced off with his bad is bad so today I will give it to Charles today who’s improvement in one of his weaker areas cross collection was noticeable as everything stuck to his gloves today and his distribution was impeccable.
Off for the international break with 3 points in the bag after huffing and puffing.
Come on you R’s

Looking at the table on 3 clubs have conceded less than our 18 goals and I think that is testament to our defensive quality in most games this season. Yes we have had 3 bad defeats (20% of the 15 games) but with the summer recruitment seem to have been able to get through the first third of the season without have a suspect line up across the back 4. Amadou being injured is the only constant concern but I have to say Adamson continues to impress and made that important block today. Jimmy had it tough today against a big opponent but worked hard and went in strong on every aerial battle. Ronnie seemed to also be able to put himself about today. I think we have struck gold with both Kemper and Cirkin coming in and there was no obvious drop off when Kemper went off, far from it.
I think the early booking for Smythie did for him today and at one point I thought he was going to be sent off after an obvious full back late on.
I hope over the coming weeks with the return of other missing midfielders and attackers we can be waxing lyrical about the other end of the pitch for the 2nd and 3rd parts of the season.
Good result, top 8, in a good position if we can get the others firing. |
I really enjoyed that. Had a bit of everything. I love this team and manager. Like some have said, even surpasses the Warbs years. So many injuries, yet so much heart and no little guile. Wise manager. Love Kamara and Poku, where did we find these two? Players we would have given our right arms for at many times in the past 30 years. Never stopped showing for the ball or running their arses off for the cause. Cirkin too. Hard, nasty, smart. You'd want to be in the trenches with these lads. You might live to see tomorrow. There's real soul in this side. I don't really care if we make the play offs or not, keep playing like this and we'll keep coming back.
There's something brewing for sure. |  | | |
