Apart from scoring the greatest ever goal at The Ricoh and (as I've said many times) being one of our best players IMO, he was also the driving force in midfield behind Luton's play-off challenge. Their other best player was one Leon Barnett, who was also much reviled here..but isn't doing too...

Lovely finish. Not that unlike the Taylor-Fletcher strike with that placed loop into the corner, over the 'keeper.

Yeah that pass by Bell last week for McSheffreys goal was incredibly mis-hit wasn't it? Bloody miles away from Sammy, that was!:whistle:

Anyone else notice that when Deegan came on, he spoke to the others no-end and the midfield trio suddenly became a very compact: Thomas---Clingan---Deegan Partly the movement, space and communication that Deegs brought to the table no doubt, but Sammy and Connor both played higher up the...

Betchya it was Keogh. Similar playing style to Swansea, who were desperate to get him on deadline day. The only pro-SISU thing I'll ever say is they hung on for a ridiculous fee for him. The downside being that as long as they can bank near to that figure for him (plus Lukas' value), they'll...

"We are the David-Bell-appreciation, Society..." So that's me, you, Torchomatic, AT and CC?! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Or maybe as football managers they are just a little bit more qualified to comment? I so happen to agree with them, and although in a minority I am not the only one. David Bell is a quality footballer. I actually applauded Bell off and thought he had a good game. I also applauded Hussey, as...

Roy has looked better than Cody in every game I've seen him. He hasn't had the time up front, he keeps getting moved out wide. He works harder than any player on the pitch and is the fastest player we have. Those two facets of his game alone make a pretty strong case for him to start, but I want...

Whatever you think of him-and I'm not exactly his greatest fan-he was bloody incredible against Norwich in that game, regardless of context. Never mind the goals he scored, he set up all the others too! He was also one of the most vital players when Aidy's tactics were working, but he always had...

Barnsley...can we bag our usual 4 goals? Hmm, maybe if Deeg-aldo is fit to start :D I'm glad AT has joined me in the Roy Appreciation Society (it was lonely in there..) but I really think he deserves a run up front. If he has a full game there rather than out wide or withdrawn deep, I'm...

Murphy-7. 2 very good saves, decent communication and distribution but didn't command area enough. Didn't see the angle for 2nd goal so can't have a go at him for that myself. Keogh-8. Seemed to love being back at RB. Bit rusty, but still great. Loved the goal celebration, screaming like a...

If anything, the pressure kinda came because we were pressing for a third, then dropped back knackered. Naivety and youthful enthusiasm. I can't be the only person who thought "oh crap" when I saw 6 mins, and a fair few of them were wearing Sky Blue and on the pitch!

I didn't have a great view of the 2nd goal but he played better than usual IMO tonight. I agree that he really needs to command that area more, and I have been a critic of his, but I loved the rush-out save he made-a goal then at it was game over. Whilst I may have stuck with Dunn after Derby...

The last two times I've seen Blackpool at The Ricoh, they taught us a footballing lesson-even with 10 men. They were far and away the best side I saw the year they went up, but even without Vaughan and Adam they are a very classy side. Tonight was by far the best performance I've seen from us...

That said..completely agree with the OP about confidence. That's another thing Deegan adds (almost arrogance in his case, coool!). Thomas in particular was unplayable once we scored; he was good before, but after that he was buzzing, adrenaline coursing through his veins. Unfortunately we...

The Pitbull nickname is gloriously inappropriate, tbf. Sure he is a tough bastard who goes in hard, but that isn't really his strength. Those are vision, creativity, engine, off-the-ball movement, goalscoring ability, determination and leadership. For a start. He was touted as "The Next Roy...

Well he took his time tonight delivering the ball when people were screaming "get it in!". Result: goal. Keogh knows best, methinks. I thought he brought another dimension to our play at RB tonight, and a major part of that was that he ran at defenders. He clearly has no idea what he's gonna...

Agreed that he was immense, but then he was around 300% more effective last season when used as an impact-sub. Great at holding the ball up, powerful and a real beast, he really shook up their defence. Granted it was after an injury to a CB, but kudos for AT for spotting that potential weakness...

I thought moving Roy wide-left helped, but cost us a goal-threat as he was looking dangerous as an out-and-out striker. Just loved Roy's graft and aggression-won 3 or 4 tackles that he had no right to whatsoever. The only thing he screwed up was one poor pass into midfield late on-when he was...

Yeah man, I just love Deegs...the bloke will play for Ireland, mark my words. Tonight was our first proper glimpse of Bohemians-Deegan in a competitive game; plenty more to come. There's a reason he has such immense self belief-he knows he's good. Oh I forgot the other obvious thing he'll...
