Karanka v MON & Keane

[Strawberry Avenger]

Following O’Neill’s first game in charge, he talked about being bullied. Next game we had Watson, Colback and Geddy in the centre of the park. Many moaned about that combination but as far as I was concerned it was eureka moment. Game domination comes from the centre of the park. Ball winners, all three of them. Get control of that department and we’re in business. Get domination in midfield and get our defence back then we really are in business and for sure the goals will come. I don’t think there is much wrong with this squad of players and boring as it was, Karanka s squad and tactics was taking us in the right direction. In my opinion, O’Neill is a superior manager and can take us further with the same squad of players. Karanka s 5 or 6 game sulk has cost us quite a few points but play offs is achievable especially as we all know, a few players will be added before thursdays deadline.

Excellent points.  Plus 1.

Fed up of Forest getting bullied.  I was very happy with the Watson, Colback and Geddy line up.  Made a massive difference.

Games are won from Midfield.
