Who was your man of the match?

Post by Mork » Sat Aug 21, 2004 8:58 pm

Again, bloody difficult choice. De Vos, was as we are coming to expect, excellent. But Horlock was hugely influential in midfield, Miller had a fantastic game, and if it hadn't been for one embarassing c*ck-up, Naylor had a hugely impressive game. Let's not forget Westlake who had a superb game, and linked up most impressively with Miller a few times - they looked world class a couple of times.

Its such a hard choice - Bent was on top form, Bowditch also looked superb - Wilnis did a great job as fall in left back, and even Diallo was hugely impressive. Only usual MOTM candidate who can't really stand for it is Kelvin Davies, who basically had nothing to do.

For me, it was between De Vos and Horlock - De Vos was superb, but Horlock was hugely influential for me, and considering we were outgunned in midfield for the first 45 minutes, he made the difference.

The first half was superb, the second half kinda died. But we did play our best football of the season so far imo, excellent stuff for the most part.

I can't really think of anything negative to say about our boys today - shame about Pablo's couple of misses, and Naylor's total c*ck-up - but even so, both played well otherwise.

Wouldn't say it was boring first half - bit stop start but that was really due to picky refs & the injuries.

Just wanted to say Naylor would have got my vote today if it had not been for 10 seconds of madness! But Bent worked hard the whole game and covered miles, tracked back, scored a goal... Tough, tough choice today though.

I chose Tmmy Miller, he just kept on driving in the midfield, got in a few tackles and was a big threat going forward! He showed some neat touches and Cardiff were struggling to cope with him. Deserved his goal and was a fantastic end to some great football :D

They did play well, even though it wasn't end to end football. Without the c*ck-up goal we gave them, Cardiff didn't force Davies to make a single save.

I rate that a good performance after the last 2 games, and certainly better than Gillingham.

OK my turn..

I actually believe we should give some Credit to Diallo today as well..

Ok he was not everyones flavour of the month against Derby, but played a role in at least one of the goals, and I think although he may not get my vote for man of the match He was not far off..

And also Pablo.. Again a contributor to one of the goals..

Come on be fair..

De Vos without doubt. Beat Earnshaw EVERYTIME and played perfect considering he was sent home from the Candian squad.

I do believe he'll make a great difference to our defence (like he hasnt already)

Heh. It was funny the way Earnshaw just gave up jumping for the ball - he didnt stand a chance up against De Vos - Earnshaw looks what, 5"8?

Heh, I dunno what De Vos is in terms of height, but he towered over Earnshaw, and I don't believe Earnshaw got to one high ball - he did eventually just stop jumping for em.
