Quote from: supertom on January 02, 2014, 11:42:04 AMIn the last few games Albrighton has delivered some great balls in to the box that any decent/in form CF would absolutely dream of getting on the end of, but then no ones attacked them. I mean Benteke for example just seems a little fearful of the penalty area right now. There was one great ball yesterday (from Lowton I think) which Bacuna went for at the far post. He couldn't quite reach it though, but honestly, last season he wouldn't have had a chance because Benteke would have been in his place on the end of it, instead of standing dead just inside the box.But in the last few games Albrighton has tossed in a few good balls in that area along the 6 yard line which thriving strikers love to attack. The trouble is we've not seen enough of our players really getting into these areas when Albrightons delivering. We've got to get players in the box, attacking these areas better. That in part comes with confidence.He's not a brilliant player but he's good and he's getting into good positions too. At the very least the effort and determination is always there.Agree with these comments. On Benteke,however, I though he was showing considerable signs that he is coming into form on yesterdays performance.

Anyway RB where and how did use of "of" rather than "have" came about in Birmingham?I have no idea. I doubt it is exclusive to Birmingham. I have lived in Nottingham for nearly 15 years and the 'yoofs' say and write 'of' incorrectly.
You guys worry far to much about MOTD, nobody gives a shit about them (particularly outside the uk). Ignore them and move on.
Great composure from Gabby yesterday.Really nice goal.
Did anyone else get up early to watch the MOTD re-run what a difference a win makes. Anyhow I noticed when lineker summed up by saying "still it's a good result for the 2 West Midlands clubs" he said it with all the enthusiasm as if he'd just seen his cat run over.
Whats the word on Vlaar? As he walked off the pitch he said something to Lambert and made a troubling gesture.How much we need him was evident by the way he managed to stabilize Baker.
