AUcal Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Felt that Watret coming on really increased our tempo and intent yesterday, although I wonder if he would have been brought on at all had Musonda not pulled up holding his hamstring. Frankie was impressive going forward at RB last Friday but he struggled to get into the game this weekend and was caught too high numerous times in the first half. Brown and the team will still be learning the best ways to make the system work. Given we were less dominant in possession yesterday than previously, a natural full back was probably the right call for stability. Watret didn't look out of place at all, in fact he was a stand out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I'd like some highlights please Mr Ayr. Henderson's assist, Rus with a worldie and Watret sending Longridge to the shops. Please and thank you. Bring back Wuffster I say. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I know folk were saying Rus was walking fine clapping the fans at full time but he's limping away behind George Oakley in the post match interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Rus is the one player we don't have a direct replacement for, I know we can't replace his quality if he gets injured or suspended but we don't have another attacking midfielder in the squad, waker might be it but we haven't seen enough of him yet to see if he could be the cover in that 10 role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzar Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Finding it difficult to stay grounded after this start to a season. So I thought I'd try and introduce some 'yes, but' sense here. Marco Rus is a TOP player at this level but, as some have already pointed out, he'll be targeted in every game now and might not be so effective once the pitches get slower. He's already been the subject of some injury-provoking tackles and I expect that to continue for the rest of the season . Just hoping he gets some protection (some hope with clowns like that idiot in black we had on Saturday). I wish the boy well - great player and one that has fans off their seats in the new North Stand ). He's worth the entry money alone. The next 'yes, but' is suspensions and injuries. We are reliant on one or two creative players to open up defences so we'll be exposed if/when Henderson, Murphy and Rus are indisposed - very happy to be proved wrong. All that said, the performance and the crowd reaction was truly wonderful on Saturday. I'm in the new North Stand and the roar at our goals was really something. I think the players heard it, especially when Jamie scored the first. More please. Much much more 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if Tomlinson could do that role, he obviously isn’t as smart a footballer as Rus and questions about his physicality and defensive side but certainly has the pace to do so plus he did play in centre mid in the youth academy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
