[LU] Accrington game

2014-08-13 Thread nat...@sky.com
Well it was not a game of two halves but it was certainly a game of two parts. 
For the first 70mins we coasted it, passing the ball, sometimes crisply and 
with good effect and sometimes just for the sake of it along the back four but 
things were looking good (have to bear in mind it was a home game v 4th 
Division opposition) and then  for the last 20mins we were under the cosh - we 
could not keep the ball and we looked dead on our feet - so much for the 
'fittests team in the league'
We brought Taylor in goals, Taylor at left back and Berardi right back, Tonge 
kept his place but Cook and Bianchi came in in midifeld and up top we had Smith 
and Doukara plus Ajose.

We began by keeping the ball but it was a bit pedestrian and involved the back 
4 rolling it between themselves, then Doukara was involved twice , first he 
found himself in a good position and instead of getting a shot in he stopped , 
checked and looked for someone to pass to and the chance went begging. Not the 
mark of a goal scorer we said - any goal scorers first thought in that position 
is score, this lad is going to be another Keogh or Hunt rather than Beckford or 
McCormack. Then a few minutes later he had the most theatrical dive I think I 
have ever seen, in the box and he was challenged and managed to do a cross 
between a forward roll and a half somersault. Myself and those around me 
actually laughed out loud at it. He was soon to redeem himself however and how. 
First he got the ball with his back to goal and turned and drilled a good shot 
into the bottom corner - goal. Just the fillip him and the rest of the team 
needed as we began to turn on the
 style. Cook and Bianchi look like footballers, Tonge strolled around spraying 
passes, Ajose was buzzing around causing trouble and Smith and Doukara had them 
scared. We came close a few more times - a header by Smith just over, and then 
the highlight of the night. A lovely through ball by the impressive Cook and 
Doukara full of confidence brushed past the defenders and hammered it home - a 
great goal, this lad could be a real find

Second half started in the same vein as Smith just volleyed wide and Doukara 
hit a shot just past the post that was as hard a shot as any from Yeboah !

Then it all (nearly) fell apart. We started to look tired, Bianchi and Tonge 
went missing and Acrrington suddenly looked decent running at us and causing us 
problems with everyday rubbish floated corners that we struggled to defend 
against. Cook and Ajose went off and on came Benedicic -a big unit who looks 
like Ronald Koeman a bit, and who had some decent touches - and Hunt, who came 
on to groans and then proved his detractors right - everything he did went 
wrong, his every touch went to an opponent or into touch. He was awful - a 
hinderence if anything. Doukara went off to a standing ovation and Poleon came 
on - it did not matter, we could not keep the ball and the inevitable happened, 
they scored. A cross was not cleared and it was scrambled in as Charlie Taylor 
tried to kick it off the line. This set up a nervous last 10mins made worse by 
one the most amazing 'tackle' I have seen - Berardi jumped two footed into the 
air and nearly took the lads head
 off - a straight red. Luckliy the nine men and Hunt managed to hold out and a 
victory in front of 13k was assured.

Some bright spots - Doukara obviously, but also Cook and Bianchi (needs to be 
good for 90mins though) - Ajose was a poor mans Max Gradel but did Ok and 
showed promise. Benedicic looked to have something about him and Charlie Taylor 
has grown up.
Having said that the best bit about the night was hearing on the way home that 
Bellusci has signed and Cooper is on his way - both centrebacks. Wooton is 
useless, we even gave him a 'captain courageous' head band a la Kisnorbo but he 
was still out of his depth a real disappointment , and as for Noel Hunt , he 
should never be allowed to play for us again.

I did enjoy it though and if we can continue to improve and get a few decent 
results under our belts things could be good - Doukara on this showing will be 
a handful for anyone (or turn into Lamine Sakho and this will be his only good 
game all season) - Cook looked as good as Delph, Byram and any other youngster 
you can name. I like Bianchi but he needs to improve stamina so not doom and 
gloom by any means. Just need some patience in the crowd if things go badly v 
Boro etc

Re: [LU] Accrington game

2014-08-13 Thread david bromley

Excellent report. Agree with every word in it.

I don't think Hock realises yet that Tonge is getting on a bit needs his nap 
after about 60 minutes. He was excellent till then , but suddenly started 
giving the ball away and putting us in difficulty. Pulling off Ajose and 
Cook ,who had been making good contributions, at the same time led to us 
losing control.


If he had simply replaced Tonge by the 18yr old Benedicic  then I suspect we 
would have carried on coasting it.


Berardi made a similar Kung Fu tackle in the Dundee match. Perhaps someone 
needs to have a word.


I accept Smith looks like a wooden lump with piles, but opposing teams seem 
to recognise him as a threat. Several times last night when he went for the 
ball there were 2 or 3 defenders on him, which creates opportunities for 
others. Holloway's no mug
