Been critical of him in the past but had an excellent game today. Man of the match in a back four where the other three all struggled defensively.

and a goal from a header IIRC? probably one of the smallest on the pitch, so always a confidence boost to get your nut on it and score (his head )

Definitely man of the match. Willis was solid. The 2 full backs good going forward but defensively we are always vulnerable with baker and Christie on the right.

Think for the first goal Adams was a little deeper than the rest of the back 4 so their guy went through onside. I think the problem is neither Clarke or Willis are a natural organiser.

Clarke did have a very decent game. It's no surprise that Fleck and Thomas were vastly improved from recent games. They were getting good quality ball from the back and it made a huge difference.

If not for a couple of moments at the back, and with a little more composure in the final third, we'd have picked up an easy win. Play like that until the end of the season and a relegation battle won't be an issue.

I had a read of the Port Vale forum. They seemed to think we looked good. Some even thought it was a point earned rather than two dropped, interesting.....

Yea, but not so much in the context of being 2 up with 10 minutes or so left....

Miles in front for most improved player this year.

Was a bit suspect earlier this year.

Now looks a good solid player.

We were vastly superior - if Wilson had equalised immediately after they scored we would have won very easily. As soon as we did score a goal panic set in.

????????? Do Wilson's goals count for 2? If they had just made it 2 nil then how would Wilson be equalising if he scored staright after their second goal?

He means when Wilson went through 1-1 in the second minute having just gone 1-0 down. They showed it on sky sports news, he should have buried it.

Yes correct. If we had eradicated the defecit immediately we would have won the game, we were comfortably the better team.

Ah, like the game at Port Vale where we were by far the better team in the first half with our strongest team of the season?

Jordan was fantastic yesterday even without scoring he would have been motm. Best game I've ever seen him play.

On a side note I must admit I was worried with Leon Clarke going and Wilson having a good amount of time out I didn't think he would find his feet as well as he has. Great stuff!

He's just in a huff because he was made to look an idiot after asking if Wilson's goals counts for two.

Really? I never went the game (as I don't go to Sixfields) and so Grendel's post could read like that because I wouldn't know about the chances we had before or after their goals. I was merely asking Grendel for clarification which came from both him and Stupot explaining what he meant. How does that make me look an idiot?

I thought Willis was poor he hardly won a header all day. Id prefer to have Webster or Seaborne playing instead of Willis.

I thought the full backs defensively weren't great either and Marshall coming on proved very decisive.

Thomas I thought was poor. Gave away possession cheaply. The villa guy played second half and looked far more the part than the youth player from arsenal.

If you didn't go to the game or listen then why would you assume that he would be talking about a chance to equalise after Port Vale went 2-0 up? Think about it for a second.

You thought he had a mistake and wrongly assumed he was talking about after Port Vales second goal and were trying to make him look foolish by asking if Wilsons goals count for two and instead ended up falling flat on your face.

No shame in it pal, we've all tried to be clever and ended up making a prat of ourselves at one point in our lives.

That's interesting. I got the impression we suffered without some "presence" up front. Did we attack differently or did the Fonz play more of a target man role?

I must been at a different game then, I was behind the goal and second half Willis won just about every header against a much taller pope.

Akpom is very skilful but as yet can't seem to deliver the final product. He and Wilson don't seem to have much of an understanding either. ND has much more about him, but then again he's a little older and more wise. He plays much better with Wilson. As Gren said, Thomas was poor, but I think he has been for the majority of the season.

We all see the game differently, I know. For me, Willis, didn't seem to too comfoirtable yeterday and I can only remember him winning two headers.

Yep, but even worse it was their left winger running in diagonally off the back of christie who'd pushed up too far, and past Willis playing right sided centre back before clarke's morning jog.
