my daughter just asked if the name Kevin Lynch was familiar to me.
I’m not proud, but feel justified in saying that the level of swearing in my answer was greater than anything she’d heard from me since her birth 23 years ago.
What we can be certain of is that, whatever Saturdays result, McKenna would have moved on from it very quickly and immediately focussed on tonight’s game.
It’s this consistency, clarity, certainty from our manager that should give us all the belief that this team can do the business against Watford and Boro and head into the break in such a strong position.
No nerves in the stand tonight. Passion, support and determination and carry the team with you.
That Norwich’s brand of anti-football is actually our Achilles heel.
They’ll play with a flat back 10 again, aimlessly hump it forward and pray Sargent can fluke a corner, then get a rolling maul going to force it over the line.
Horrible, horrible play, but that’s what years of Prem money and parachute payments buys you nowadays it seems.
I know we’ve scored from a few when Leif has picked out Chappers, or from second phase when the ball has dropped nicely in the box, but when was the last time we scored a good old-fashioned Beattie-esque bullet header direct from the first ball in?
Can’t remember one for ages.
Moore climbing over two defenders to attack the ball for the first was a joy to see. Gives us a completely different weapon.
….. but there will be few teams who will be able to play the way they need to in order to take advantage.
Leeds high press caused us more problems than others, but mainly because the second press of Ampadu, Kamara and Piroe stopped us playing through Morsy and Luongo. But that’s some serious pace and technical ability in their front six.
We had to try and by-pass the midfield and play it into Hirst, who was very well marshalled and totally outnumbered most of the time, or tried to hit Burns or Davis from distance and Spence and Gray just stepped up and picked off the pass.
We have had, and will continue to have, a lot of success playing that way and I can’t see McKenna abandoning the system because of one game. Will be interesting to see what his Plan B is though, as there really didn’t seem to be one yesterday.
