When did all our players suddenly become world class

[The Great Mass Debater]

I was very hopeful about Adams, but him picking the diamond for that game has really undermined my confidence in him

Also a shame that we had it in place, Hughton dissembled it, and Adams potentially building it up again. Whether you like the diamond or not it's two overhauls in a short period. Spending millions in the process.

Must admit I thought Adams would be all about wing play so slightly saddened myself, early days as yet tho, and did enjoy us hugely under lambert.

"Aaron Wilbraham has hauled Bristol City level against Colchester, whileBarnsley have also equalised through Leroy Lita to draw level with Crewe.Crawley have taken the lead against Swindon thanks to Izale McLeod's spot-kick and David Mooney has edged Leyton Orient ahead at Oldham."

Look how many ex-City players scored within the same 15 minute period. Neyul out!

Snodgrass is a useful player, but I dont think he is Premier League quality in a wing position. 

On a serious note, I agree with most of your Snodgrass analysis - and have said much the same to most of my friends. His 'wrongfootedness' was a serious flaw in our attacking play last year. His constant need to cut back onto his left foot often resulted in our strikers being caught offside or resulted in his crosses failing to take advantage of decent off-the-ball movement (RvW). Personally, I think part of RvW's dismal record was a direct result of Snoddy on the right..

Great team performance today. Yes the sending off made it easier, but Watford are one of the best teams in this league.

No more than it was a result of Redmond on the left, two wingers who had to cut in onto their stronger foot, and neither of whom would go outside and whip in an out swinging cross. The only player who had the ability to go inside and out was Pilkington, who is genuinely ambidextrous. In the absence of a complete two footed winger (like Huckerby) we either need to play at least one winger on their correct side, or switch wingers throughout the course of a game. I didn't watch the game today Neyul, but 'sounded' like Redmond was cutting in for his long range pot shots again today? 

 

[Yellow Fever]

Yes, and he was playing on the right as well. I feel less bad about Pilks leaving after the performance Lafferty put in today.

Agree YF - Laffs could looks like a great replacement for Pilks and some. Redders disappointed me today, but he's young and its probably my expectations. I'm sure he'll have more good games than mediocre ones.
