Very good article, Jim.
It’s been a long-time since my last Brentford-induced good mood, but despite insufficient sleep I’m buzzing about the result this morning.
It was a diligent, grown-up performance from us last night, not particularly high on flair after an excellent first 20 minutes (I’m enjoying these fast starts under Carsley in sharp contrast to the Dijkhuizen era).
What pleased me most was the unity of the team. The midfield protected the defence brilliantly while also giving excellent service to Djuricin, and later Hoffman. So often this season there has been no cohesion between different parts of the team. It’s almost impossible to pick a man of the match given the nature of the performance, but the level-headed combination of Diagouraga and McCormack was undoubtedly crucial. They made it impossible for Wolves to play through us. We were very compact.
As you mentioned there are still concerns, especially the reliance on Judge for creativity. And Wolves were dreadful – significantly worse, I would suggest, than the team that took them up from League One.
Like you, I take particular pleasure from beating Wolves. Over the last three years we have followed almost identical paths and so, despite their huge resources compared with us, they are a good barometer of our progress. The 4-0 win over them was my favourite result of last season, bar the Fulham wins.
One more thing – fair play to Carsley for getting something out of Yennaris, on whom I had long since given up hope. Let’s hope he can have a similar impact on some of the new signings.
“Wolves were dreadful”; so I wouldn’t get too excited about this result; Hofmann is wooden, Judge is a gleam of hope.
They were at home and you still have to beat sides like that… never easy at Wolves.
They were low on confidence like we were before Rotherham, but bottom line is you can only beat what’s put in front of you.
We know we are still short on quality and possibly pace, but disagree re Hofmann… he is big, a nuisance and clearly has decent feet for a big fellah as his very cool finish showed.
Six points out of six will do for me but we have to be winning our next two games as well for this to be anything more than a false dawn.
The point of my piece was that Lee Carsley is a seasoned campaigner in the English league and just what we need right now – a good foil between the new stats-led system and traditional methods.
And his approach appears to be working… at the moment.
Don’t waste words on him Jim,he is top of the league for negativity along with a guy called Rodi, supporters my arse, come to think of it suspect they are one and the same.Either that ones the others love child.
hobo, you have nothing but fanatic empty drivel to say, or nasty attacks on contributors who have the individual view, unlike you, who is a lick spittle to the party line; you moronic slave, you never offer a scrp of original thinking or analysis of the facts, people like you, who hate free opinion, are the arse scrapings of the world and are the coat tailers of tyranny.
No worse than your nasty attacks on a man that saved our football club and continues to do so, at least the real fans at Charlton who were chanting his name appreciate what hes done and is doing for our football club. By the way its only you and Rodi i have a problem with,your both tarred with the same poisonous brush your last posting being proof of that.
Apparently we beat QPR too. Excellent.
This is now getting awkward as some folk are having less and less to moan about.
Djuricin scored a well taken goal too.
You don’t wanna go up Brentford.
