D_D's player ratings vs. Brighton

[su4eranio]

Keogh defo MOTM for me. His best game all season.

I think defensively we consistently perform better with the Bucko, Keogh, Eustace triangle.

Brighton were a team that got what they deserved. Very negative from a team with way more ability than they dared to show. Stifled us in the midfield and in doing so gave up all attacking threat bar set pieces.

Saturday will be a different game with Blackburn expected to play a more open and attacking game. Lets see how our offensive unit performs with more space to play in.

ps no one mentioned the ref...cant remember one bad foul all game and 8 yellow cards! The worse incident of the game was their full back taking a blatant dive which the ref saw, and not producing a yellow. the 8 cards he gave were for nothing niggles. Very poor ref!!

100% agree with everything you've put there mate including the ref. I thought exactly the same. there was one synical foul from their player in t

The ref was a joke. I may sound silly saying this but I find referees that have that "geography teacher" look are usually useless, and he fit the stereotype.

Keogh wasd efinately MOm and today showed just how much Buxton needs him alongside.

Forsyth for me is still a weak link and HUghs and Ward are clearly off form as is Bryson, though again that could eb down to the effectiveness of the opposition.

Onec annot forget that it was Wards run that resulted in the goal.

All those who thought we didn't need Bamford should now know why!

It makes it very difficult for our wide men to be influential. We just need to find a way to combat opposition negativity. [/quote]

3-5-2?

As teams are not commiting many forward at PP, lose a defender and flood the mid. A 'hole' player between the lines might unlock a door where our wingers can't

I can't see 3-5-2 suiting us Toggles.

Our main width comes from Wisdom and Forsyth, and Dawkins, Ward and Russell all like to come inside, as I'm sure Ba
