Thread: A lot is being made of Spud good start to the game. But isn't that just standard NLD procedure?

    A lot is being made of Spud good start to the game. But isn't that just standard NLD procedure?

    They've often started those games like a train. Even against our best sides

  2. #2

    They had the best of the first 20 mins but they didn't blow us off the pitch. We were coming back

    Into it before the sending off.

    Also Spurs completely capitulated after we scored.

    In any case just because they went down to 10, didn't mean they should collapse like that

    They also had a lead to defend at the time. We've seen plenty of matches where 10 men are harder to break down, and so the result isn't always inevitable.

    Nod It's almost as if they're trying to deflect attention away from consecutive 5-2 defeats

    What a shame

    That is the first time we couldn't string 2 passes together, against them in years

    In the past we have conceded goals against the run of play or flukes. This was the first time they really came out at us and stopped us from moving the ball, for a very long time.

    I don't think we were coming back into it before the sending off, at all. We would have got back into the game eventually because no team can keep that level of pressure up for more than 35 minutes. The question is, would the score have still been 0-1?

    For 15 minutes. And you are still overstating their dominance

    Hugely, in fact.

  9. #9

    How many forward passes did we complete and how many times did we give the ball away, in that period

    Don't agree. Theo was already getting some joy down the right and Giroud had a half chance but

    Couldn't quite get clear.

    The reason we couldn't string 2 passes together for some of that initial period of the game is that we're a bit **** these days. Could have happened if we were playing Tourquay.
