Think this one of those that will bite us on the bum. I think the entire front four have been below par, Smyth has caused trouble but decision making not as it's been in recent weeks.
Plymouth definitely have a goal in them. Expect to see Colback quite early and Varane benched like to see Kolli after 60. Frey not massively effective today |

Watch the Coaches voice with Marti for some good insight he calls it 4-3-3 but at particular stages on the pitch it's 4-1-4-1. No 10 in this system |

I'd have said that at the start of the season but he has been an absolute revelation as a 9. He can finish, he can pass, he can head, he's got fantastic movement. He's got a bit of pace but not enough I would say for a wide player. He is IMHO exactly what you want as a forward with a different set of skills to Frey. Lloyd gives you out and out pace, but I dont think he has the balance and I never feel he has the ball quite under control and I do think if we could get him on loan somewhere it would be beneficial. I dont see where Celar fits other than as an understudy to Kolli with Lloyd as the understudy to Frey. |

As I said in the match thread It was exactly the team I expected him to play. Smyth had a gash on his eye from Monday, Dunne also took a knock on his shoulder. Edwards was always going to start. If we played the same team from Monday Ashby still starts we still concede at least three goals.
Not much point in Frey playing in deep fog either and Kolli walks away with an assist and a goal.
For large parts of the game we looked the better team. Though it was pretty hard to see anything
We've conceded 6 keepers not made a save.
I dont think one of our squad gets in their team [Post edited 12 Jan 18:10]

I do think people forget that typically you are paying 1-3m in loan fees plus salary for the best premiership youngsters / loans and some guarantees of game time, the idea that we just send him back and pick up someone better to sit on our bench is for the birds. He's just had the worst game of his life in some trying conditions, with the players either side of him also putting in rotten performances. Some bad luck there too with the penalty. If he is going to grow as a player / professional it's the epic failures you learn the most from. |

No frankly, I've defended him but that today is as bad as he has been. I think the criticism has been OTT at times but no defending that today. Had the opportunity to make an impact and failed to take it. |

An element of one of those days where the score does not reflect the game. Nearly every shot they had went in Ashby will have recurring nightmares on this one, out did Fox v Portsmouth for ineptitude. I dont know if visibility was as bad on the pitch as it was on screen but we were very slow to react at times
Edwards was well off it. Tough first game maybe. I've defended Madsen but that was as bad as his been but lets be frank all Leicesters goals down to poor defending and positioning from all of the back 4/5. |

Team is exactly what I thought it would be. Edwards / JCS is likely to be the preferred defence in the coming months. If one of Dunne, Morgan or Smyth got injured in this game we would be screaming blue murder. Opportunity for Madsen in a game where he might have a bit more space |

I dont think that is true that he does not try. He has been coached as is "the modern way" to cut of passing lines in shape, flying into physical tackles is a very British thing a very championship and below thing. The game is much faster and he is struggling to adjust. He covers as much ground as anyone else. He might be doing poorly but he certainly aint not trying. |

He's certainly the boo boy of the moment, reminds me very much of Richard Langley asa player type and some will never take to him, confidence is low, the fee is a millstone around his neck and Morgan has emerged ahead of him. But I do think there is a player there, but like Celar of all the players we have brought has the most to adapt their game to work in the championship. Gets called out more for what he does not do, than for what what he does. Very often plays the pass before the pass that leads to a chance. Does actually work hard maintaining the defensive shape and closing off passing lines. |

It's been an incredible tournament and incredible performance from Littler. But we all know he will be this generations Wayne Rooney and the bastards will be coming for him |

In the form of his life at the moment, but is evident in the last few weeks is that he has gone from bombing down the wing and banging it in to an area to slowing down at the right time and raising his head to pick someone out. Always worked hard, carries the ball well but you would guarentee there would be nothing at the end of it, or missed the right opportunity. Needs to keep it going now. That wing position needs be delivering 10-15 goal contributions a season |

We've been set up this way since the International break IMHO 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 hybrid even when Madsen has been playing with the 10 becoming an 8/10. Morgan plays it best as he is the more complete player offensive / defensively |

I think we have changed our tactics since the international break, it was much more of a 4-2-3-1 start of the season since the break its more 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 with the 10 role deeper in this new fangled 8/10 and the left winger been given freedom to move into ten when attacking. We've become very right side focused with the ball and very solid without it. We've also had a bit of a luck both in game terms and discovering that an 18 and 19 year old who were very much "fringe" at the start of the season have become important key players. |

Just back, great performance Watford were very dangerous. I've always been very frustrated by him but top respect to Paul Smyth, one of his best games for the club and the thing that is so apparent in recent weeks is that he is lifting his head and therefore making better decisions and is so much a better player for it.
I thought Ashby had an excellent 2nd half is best for the club.Frey really bullied them but was on a tightrope 2nd half for a second yellow. Everyone else great especially Dunne, Morgan, Field and Varane.
Not sure what their 2nd was disallowed for other than the ref got the corner wrong and knew it so it was always going to be a free kick |
