Lats in midfield again? Don't think that's our direction here. Wright was unlucky not to score as was EMC. We don't need different defenders necessarily we just need to keep it together and go back to getting a clean sheet! 2-0 Coventry.
Yep, win at QPR we've taken 9 from 4 which is still a good outcome. We had a better xG and could easily have been 2:1 up when we gave away a goal. Could easily have taken a point. QPR won't be happy after the last result but why shouldn't it all come together again at our new favourite oppo?
It's not the first game we've lost with a better xG. We are making and getting good chances, they are just not going our way at the moment - but we are still scoring goals. We ARE struggling at the back. But we will make good, if we take 3 points from QPR away that's still a good result across...
Xg 1.25 (Norwich) vs 1.61 (Coventry). We created good chances, there were two good saves from Wright, bar from EMC etc. It's just that all the players - all of them - the goals that went in the first half of the season are now being saved/blocked/hitting post. Still think it's our defense that...
They can't plan to sit back and play on the break at home, surely? Surely this is our chance to keep a clean sheet, defend solidly, and hit THEM on the break??
3 very winnable fixtures and that would make 5 wins on the bounce. You then beat Boro and suddenly strikers are back in form, you're on another big winning streak... A lad can dream.
Sakamoto coming on for the last 25-30 minutes in these last two games a nightmare for defenders, and has basically created a goal in each shift. I still think ALL our goalscorers will hit form in this run now; Rudi is the biggest worry in that regard as he does seem a bit all over the place...
We know they'll sit deep and counter-attack, if we can hold it togethor at the back we'll get plenty of chances. Leicester could have finished the game first half, that's the worry.
I think they will all drift into some form now. Away vs Norwich and QPR they will get some freedom and plenty of chances I think. We've really got to stop a) hitting the post b) not being given stonewall penalties.
