Everyone loves a trier and Skalak is that all right.
Can deliver a mean cross, has a shot on him and works hard. But that's about it in all honesty. We have plenty of players who can do the flair/trickery/beating players thing so much so we loaned one of them out. Offers something different to...
Brilliant team performance last night. Hunemier slotted in seamlessly, Kayal back to his very best and Rosenior reminding everyone what a top quality player he is. If we play like that and demonstrate that level of confidence, i still believe we can pip Newcastle to the title.
In a game situation, if we need to defend a lead, Murray is always very good in a central defensive position so that is another option Hughton could use as part of his tactics.
Reading passed the ball Poyet style but without any cutting edge, incisiveness or tempo. They played right into our hands and played a high line at the back, perfect to hit them on the break. Absolutely top-drawer tactics by CH.
