Leslie Charteris Posted 25 November, 2009 Share Posted 25 November, 2009 They don't get much better than Lallana's second! Even better than Connolly's last time out. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowllyd Posted 25 November, 2009 Share Posted 25 November, 2009 They don't get much better than Lallana's second! Even better than Connolly's last time out. Great stuff. Or much more comical than Lambert's! Nifty one-two off the keeper there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 26 November, 2009 Share Posted 26 November, 2009 Thought wotton was very good when he came on.... really helped the defence out and it is great to have so many options now.... would just like a bit more variety from the countless corners we win... great result!!!

scotty Posted 26 November, 2009 Share Posted 26 November, 2009 Love winning 3-1, especially after coming from behind brilliant. f*cking top result, well pleased with it, but lewis hits the nail square on; why the hell do we keep having to come back from a goal down:confused: ive lost count of the number of times weve done that this season. Dont get me wrong, Im not moaning, a wins a win however it comes and Im over the moon with the results, but why do we always seem to need to ship one before slamming them in??

Charlie Wayman Posted 26 November, 2009 Share Posted 26 November, 2009 Never mind the quality feel the width! It'll do for me for now. Well done lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 26 November, 2009 Share Posted 26 November, 2009 Lallana's was clearly massively flukey. Got caught by a massive gust of wind! Was going well wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoandahalfstuds Posted 27 November, 2009 Share Posted 27 November, 2009 Lallana's goal was amazing! There should be a separate thread for it's appreciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 27 November, 2009 Share Posted 27 November, 2009 Not back from the game till Wednesday evening and spent most of yesterday asleep but set in the context of Hartlepool's home record (though its hardly an intimidating place), it was an excellent result. Conditions were absolutely miserable and no assessment of the players or the performance makes sense without recognising that. There was a period of play in the second half where none of Kelv/Bart's goalkicks crossed the halfway, repeatedly hooking at out of play. Hartlepool switched ends at kickoff, so they would have the wind on their side second-half. Frankly, it didn't help them as everything hit forward either carried through to the keeper or ran out of play. It made life for Jaidi or Trotman immeasurably easier who didn't have to worry about the pacy ball down the channel. At the same time, its not as if we adapted our game and were too reliant on the long ball - not the first time. While they saw alot of the ball in the first 30 or so with the tippy-tappy stuff, they rarely threatened and the goal came as a surprise. After that we woke up -Lambert missed an absolute sitter- without totally firing. Their right back gave Lallana plenty of space throughout which he exploited with clinical effect (needless to say he was my MoM), though with James on the right, we were quite narrow. The big decision on the night was to start with both Murty and James on the right - I don't know if this was a one-off, part of Pards "winning ugly" strategy or the sign of things to come. Pards obviously rates James, so even if he turns to a more attacking option on the right, Antonio or Waigo, I can't see James dropping out of the team. Perhaps, Schneiderlin's position is most under threat in the centre. Still unsure whether Lambert and Connolly really click - apart from Orient, I can't remember them combining for a goal. On paper, they look like the perfect little and large combo, so perhaps its a matter of time. Connolly has a tendency to move the ball quickly rather than hold it up which can be a slight problem if there aren't bodies around (only Lallana seems to be on the message). At the same time, the luxury of another forward means that Lambert tends to drop deeper and deeper into positions that are unlikely to hurt the opposition. It seems that Lambert flourishes when he has the responsbility of leading the line. Anyway, a job well done - not as upset about Kelvin's injury as I would have been at the start of the season, a reflection of Bart's growing maturity and some iffy moments from Kelvin. For our part, we made some good noise and the monkees theme tune at the start of both halfs was a nice touch. A welcoming place but its always easy to be magnanimous c*nt when you win.

Whitey Grandad Posted 27 November, 2009 Share Posted 27 November, 2009 Lallana's was clearly massively flukey. Got caught by a massive gust of wind! Was going well wide. But that was where the skill came into it. It was more of a golf shot than a football one, just the right amount of side on it so that it curled just inside the post.

shurlock Posted 27 November, 2009 Share Posted 27 November, 2009 Apart from dropping off, getting the ball, turning and playing in Lallana for the first goal. Well made and he was more of an attacking midfielder for Brizzle. Still there were too many times when instead of being in the box for a cross or something, he was stuck out wide or in a deep position. I know Lambo has been ill but I don't think its a coincidence that the goals have dried up since Connolly's been in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
