He was man of the match for me, I can't believe how many tackles he got stuck in to, completely different player, bizarre.

A matter of opinion but for me Diarra was MoM on the pitch and (I suspect) the Skipper was MoM on the training ground since Wednesday and in the dressing room today. The cream always rises to the top!!!!  |

Let's get one thing straight that midfield today showed class and battled for everything. Cousins injury could be a blessing in disguise.

Reza showed real a dogged spirit and desire and looked a threat cutting inside. Glad he got a goal that will help him immeasurably.
We need big mak in the box more. He was ghosting around on the right to much in the first half which seems wasteful as he can beast pretty much any defender in our league I reckon. Most will have no chance beating him in the air either.

Big difference to me was the way the midfield got among SW's midfield and supported the strikers. On the Cousins issue, IMO it was only him that was doing it under Luzon, who seemed to have instructed the midfield to sit back and keep shape when the ball was lost. I think Cousins will do well in this new system. Diarra as a holding player will give him some licence, and I still think he is a better player than Ba.

Funky I think that the midfield diamond ass the perfect formation against the Wendies who were running on fumes.
However with the diamond your front men have to split out wide to avoid the team being far too narrow. To get Big Mak to stay central we would have to abandon the system.

Surely Reza has it in him. He's scored as many world cup goals as Rooney! A much better goal too.

Old Reza has scored a hatrick for Heerenveen at PSV this afternoon but it was all to no avail as the home side scored twice in the 89th & 90th minute to take the points in a 4-3 win!!
There's hope for Nicky Ajose yet!!

There's hope for Nicky Ajose yet!! To be fair to Ghoochannejhad that's no mean feat. I haven't checked for a few weeks and hadn't seen this news, but I have been trying to track the fortunes of the failed foreign imports who have now returned to the continent and many of them appear to be doing very well. Reza has been playing regularly for Heerenveen who sit fourth in the top division in Holland. Christophe Lepoint is playing regularly for Zulte-Waregem who are second in Belgium while Loic Nego is first choice at Videoton who lead the Hungarian first division. Elsewhere, Piotr Parzyszek is scoring goals for fun again at De Graafschap in the Dutch second division with Marko Dmitrovic ever present at Alcorcon. As far as I can tell, the only real flop is George Tucudean, although even he appears to playing and scoring regularly again in the Romanian second tier. I would draw three conclusions from this. First, these players were not necessarily the hapless, low cost and completely inadequate signings they have been painted. Second, the Championship clearly presents a particular challenge. Standards are high and most players probably need time to adjust. Others may simply not be suited to its physically. Third, while it may well make economic sense to recruit 'value for money players' from abroad, rather than pay a 'full price' for players already established in England, the selection process is not an easy one. Good players, in good leagues, in countries with strong national teams, will not always succeed in the Championship. And that is not all about the use of a laptop. |

The fundamental problem has simply been having on board a Director of Football who knows the Championship well enough to blend existing players, academy arrivals and external signings.
Since Peeters took over from Riga it was clear that once injuries kicked in and Tucudean failed to make a real impact, that we needed reinforcements.
The Network with Liege provided players like Watt to help Luzon kick on. But once Liege was sold and we had Fraeye in charge it became horribly clear that the fans could judge the team better than the management.
Some signings flopped and they've done OK elsewhere. Some did well and we've sold them for a fortune.
The contrast today is stark with Karl Robinson explaining what's going on. And utilising foreign signings like Bauer, Teixeira and Magennis!
Whether he is the man who can blend in cheaper signings from abroad remains to be seen, but my guess is that he relishes the prospect!
