    I'm generally first to post when we have a shocker but this was night and day difference polar opposite to Rotherham, had a few shaky moments namely Roos and Wisdom but there was a moment from Roos that kept us in it, but tonight we played as a team and we need to take that into the next match, we need to learn how to replicate it

    Something wasn't right when it was said last Monday the money had been sent, clearly the arabs are not to be believed, in a way glad it's happened now and not as our owners

    Thought Roos’ handling, kicking and distribution were top class tonight. Can’t remember him making a mistake, but his reading of the game and judgement of when to come and when to stay were poor/questionable at least three times.

    Well worth the win - Some good solid performances, Beilik, Clark bothe rock solid, and Shinnie has gone up two gears since the cocu days.

    Clough wasn't enough for you had to be instant success. You know absolutely nothing about the game. You've clearly never played it. Clough team kept the club in a decent position for years.

    It's whats wrong with the game today people like you more about ego than actual understanding it.

    Rattea, can you remind me which season we did well in under Nigel Clough, please?

    09/10 14th on 56 points
    10/11 19th on 49 points
    11/12 12th on 64 points (11 off the playoffs)
    12/13 10th on 61 points (7 off the playoffs and lost more than we won)

    I haven't posted the 08/09 stats as he was only at the club from January.

    The last 2 full seasons were "OK" but not of the standard of performance or results we would like to think a club like ours should be having. Midtable in the Championship is not "doing well" for a club like ours. The play was that of a siege mentality and not very entertaining despite an average goals for and against total of just shy of 3 a game. That siege mentality was needed when he arrived and I have always thought he got stuck in that rut and couldn't get out of it.

    The good thing about NC was that he put a good squad together but was unable to put the right pegs in the right holes and in the right shape with the right mindset to create a top team. It took Stevie Mac to do that.

    ...... that's 4 points we have taken from them this season. Very pleasing.

    Different type of game from us last night too. We didn't have the lion's share of possession but did more with what we had than they did with theirs. The opposite of what has happened so often this season thus far.

    The Cherries had 57% possession 1st half and 67% 2nd half. They had 2 shots, 0 on target 1st half and 8 / 2 in the 2nd. We had 8 / 3 in the first and 4 / 3 in the 2nd. Of their 2 on target, the first was a gentle lob which any of us would have had, the other brought a brilliant save from Roos. Apart from the goal, their keeper had saves to make and there was a goalline clearance by a defender.

    They are, potentially, (one of?) the best footballing sides in the League yet their major weapon appeared to be putting the ball over our defence and running on to it. It didn't work. Nearly did early doors but Solanke mis-hit a ball he should have put away.

    They started both halves the more lively but over the 90 minutes we were the more dangerous team on a meagre 38% possession.

    I was pleasantly surprised at both the performance and the energy levels as I had serious doubts that we would be more than slightly more lively than we had been against the Millers. It seems the players haven't been told the "rule of thumb" recovery rate

    Worst performance of the night was the pitch. More on that in a separate thread.

    I thought Roos had a good game.
    Byrne continued his decent recent form.
    Evans was excellent.
    Wisdom too.
    Clarke was Clarke.
    Buchanan wasn't back to his previous levels but still had a good game.
    Bielik shone.
    Shinnie broke the play up well.
    Knight was back to Duracell levels but seemed to have difficulty with ball control on a poor pitch.
    Jozwiak was as industrious as ever but his ball control was on a par with Knight's.
    Kazim was closer to his previous levels than he had been against the Millers.

    What a different performance to last saturday! I think your right there is something very iffy about this takeover, beginning to think it won't happen.
