Do we have enough to get top 2 without him? I admit that I think he's our most important player. But we were impressive without him. And even without one more.
We missed him a bit but Southend were so poor it wasn’t a problem. Missed him at Pompey last week though
At 0 0 I heard someone say "we're missing Moore big time" I sat and asked myself what would Moore have done any different? We were playing ok, bossing the game but final pass or shot was a bit lacking. Not having Moore in the team takes away the option of being direct when required, but today we played some lovely passing football and 3 0 flattered Southend. Sooner have him than not, but today was very positive.
Others have to step up woodrows aim should be to catch kieffers 18 league goals and finish top scorer. Bahre needs to step up he did well today more of the same. Hopefully we have enough to get us over the line next 4 games are big hope browns red gets chalked off
Well it's not really as simple as if we win we don't miss him and if we don't win then we did. We would be stronger with him available that's just a fact. The bigger worry for me is because we didn't get any cover in all season we are now one inury away from a crisis.
Mowatt is our most important player IMO. Moore is part of our all important 'spine' but he needs service like any striker, but in Woodrow we have a one-goal-a-game goalscorer to see us promoted.
Losing Moore is a loss but Stendel started with Mageehan in his former Luton days position n today dropping bahre to the bench and brought Dougalle back. Mageehan has a goal threat in that position and Bahre is probably a better link up player for Woodrow and Thiam ect
I believe we've scored more goals away from home than at home. When we are breaking at speed, playing on the counter, we miss Moore less, because it's all about fast interplay on the ground. If you are playing against aerially dominant opposition or tight matches against teams that pack the defence looking to steal a point at Oakwell, then we'll miss him, because we'll be looking to score and defend set-pieces. Do we have enough? We are walking a tight-rope because an injury to Woodrow would mean play-offs at best. It's frustrating because you think just that little bit more investment would have seen us through.
Let's face it we're already in the play offs. Wonderful performance today. We seem better on the break, which might mean that we've got a fair few suspense filled home games between now and season end.
Yes we did. We looked toothless until we got the first goal. Let’s not forget Southend didn’t pull up any trees today.
Their manager come and said that many of those players wouldn’t have made the 11 except for the fact that they didn’t have any other players avail. Honestly hope the run carries on but we are going to face sterner tests than this.
I thought Stendel got in bang on today. Could easily have played Bahre/Green/Hedges/Adeboyejo in place of Moore but instead went with Dougall. He sat and let Mowatt and McGeehan push up alongside Woodrow. Numerous times Dougall played a ball into the feet of Mowatt or McGeehan who were picking up dangerous positions in between the lines.
