Clean Sheets

[qblockpete]

Before I went away, would have been happy with 5 points, but to get 9 and not concede a goal in 270 minutes is exceptional, not being able to see the games, who has been outstanding or have we been a little lucky?

For me pete

The squad as a whole.. Ok Mackie has been probably our best player (for scoring) but in general the team has played well together.

I dont think its 'Luck' the defense has performed brilliantly and have done well, Paddy has made good saves and we have taken our chances!

[oldhoop]

Good summary of the Leicester match would be - loads of possession for LCFC who spend lots of time in our half but Paddy had very little to do. The defence (plus Derry) were outstanding and just soaked up wave after wave of attacks and frankly they never looked like scoring. Every one of them at the back played out of their skin and can't really pick one of them out as they were all solid. Adel had a quiet match and Buz looked like a man without much game time. They swamped us in midfield but Mackie was different gravy up front. Hogan looked sharp and Heider worked his socks off.

All in all agreat "team" effort and was a performance that one of our former managers would have described as an "ugly" win!

Clean sheets are well handy after you shate the bed

How does the saying go?

Forwards win you games, defence wins you championships!

[Hertford Hoop]

The reason is we have a TEAM, we have a decent MANAGER and the FANS have been amazing. Each player has given 110% chasing and winning nearly everything. Be proud of our team who are finally going places

[ollyhoops]

There is a lot more team work and togetherness..... something that was lacking over the years.

[Kit]

Derry has been immense, if ever defence has been in trouble, he has got them out of it ! Superb and of course Free !!!!!

[Dazzer1977]

My sheets are filthy given our results of late!

[swanleyhoop]

We have deserved every goal scored and every point gained this season.
Even the point at Derby was due to perseverance and determination -- so a deserved point.
No lucky wins, flukey goals or dodgy penalties, despite what a certain manager is saying. In fact we have a had a couple of stonewallers turned down over the season so far, which might have made our goal difference even better.
Well done Rangers -- long may it continue.

[waterbuffalo]

what really excites me, is if Kenny gets ( heaven forbid) hurt, Cerny comes in, so we have two fine goalkeepers better than twit robert Green and that other twit calamity james.

Wow, if you said you wanted a team giving 110% in the summer, mork, mindy, morris and others would have had a ten page thread on how you liked cloggers, knew nothing about football etc, etc.

If you had said "sign Taarabt" in the Summer, Mr Monotone would have shot you down, asking for another holding midfielder.

Not quite sure how he's coping will all these goals...

[paulmason]

I thought I was the one who said we would sign Taarabt, you said we wouldn't ?

My only beef with Taarabt was I thought he would be a bad apple with his me, me, me attitude, but he has done well so far and long may it continue and yes, we are doing very well with an additional holding midfielder, as Faurlin and Derry are doing a fine job as a defensive pair and we are top of the league.
