Not the most overwhelming performance, but it's sure nice to see the defense play like that.
not sure you can celebrate the defensive display when we didnt attack! No disrespect to you guys but if your back 4 might as well have setup a campfire and told stories over toasted marshmellows, because they had sod else all to do!
I know what you mean, but it really can be looked at either way. You guys didn't attack, or we didn't allow you to... half dozen of one 6 of another.
Playing with 4 center halves, I thought for sure we'd look disorganized or do something stupid. We always seem to even with people playing in position.
based on whats been going on recently its been cause we didnt attack. Long ball, cleared, defend. Been our tactic for far too long - we lack ideas and we did even with Mikky. We desperately need a change.
To be fair, that's been the way to beat us over the last few years. Pack the box, we'll struggle to score. Hoof a longball and out CB will cock it up.
Boom, 1-0 done and dusted.
Thank god RVP's been banging in the goals left right and center. Because right now, I think we'd really struggle to score without him. Nobody else has looked even mildly impressive in front of goal for us so far this season. And RVP has seemed to find a goal from somewhere every match even when not playing well.
