Coutts

[stringjunior]

Ive neither been nor been able to listen today. So how were we without Coutts?

We was fucking excellent and so was Lundstram

 

[PokerBlade]

Didn't miss him at all in the first half imo. Ipswich were quite sluggish and weren't allowed much of the ball aside from a few counter attacks. After Freeman's injury we had to reshuffle and it clearly caused a few organisational problems, the opposition turned up the tempo, and ball retention wasn't as good as it sometimes is. Overall, however, we were our usual selves. Controlled large parts of the game, a bit hesitant to shoot but always looking one pass short of a tap in, worked incredibly hard, and fully deserved the win.

Same old, same old.

Musn't grumble. We played rather well. Lundstram didn't disgrace himself, but Coutts is better.

 

[Benny and the Blades]

Duz dis mean Lundstram keeps the shirt ?

Duz dis mean Lundstram keeps the shirt ?

No.

 

[Smirth]

Think we missed him a little, but we got by and won which is so important.

Lundstram played well but is noticeably slower. Coutts will automatically get back in the side and rightly so.

No, last 20 minutes we missed his cool head and ability to use the ball. Lundstram put a shift in but he's no Coutts.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Looks like we had someone else to "make us tick"......

Give the lad some credit, he made a big contribution to the team performance and win.

That is credit from me!

 

[Punk Blade]

That is credit from me!

Fair enough

 

[ScottBlade]

Big shoes to fill but i thought he did well. Duffy was the man today though. Ran the show.

 

[Antonb]

he did fine, But coutts picks the ball up from defense and dictates our play. Lundstram did not! But he did put a shift in.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Lundstram worked hard, did ok.
But he gave the ball away more times in this game than Coutts has all season. Not got the quality, doesn’t carry the ball the same and doesn’t have the same time on the ball as his movement isn’t as good.

I’m well chuffed with the result and how we played, but Coutts back in for me.

 

[DronnieBlade]

It’s excellent that Lundstram is now an integral part of our CM, either from the start, or to come off bench.

But displacing one of Fleck or Coutts, for my money the best CM pair in the division, won’t be easy.

UYB

 

[Esablade]

Yes we missed Coutts, he’s very probably been our best player this season and one of the best players in this league going on what Ive seen so far.

UTB!

Would be one of the best in the division above too in my opinion.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

to answer the OP question.

We played differently today - quite different in fact.

A fair result should have been 3-1 - it was 1 nil but 3 points is 3 points. Lundtram was a bit of a holding player and did everything asked of him.

Coutts back next game? Without a doubt for me - it's a no brainer.

Enjoyed the game, BUT we NEED to score more goals when we are on top. That game should have been dead and buried by HT.

We move on...................and UPWARDS

UTB & mind the even BIGGER gap.

 

[sheffielder]

Lundstram had decent game, but it showed Coutts was missing after we took the lead. We and Lundstram himself gave away the ball when they had better options.

For me our best player.

Props to Fleck today too, as not only did he have to cope with playing without his soul mate and the added responsibility, but Big Micks tactics were blatantly to kick Fleck up in the air at every opportunity like a 1980's hackysack!

 

[Cerberus Blade]

A mention for Stevens as well because that lad is becoming a fixture for us. Played really well again.

 

[unitedbhoy]

Any team in this division would miss Coutts. Lundstram had a good game but he isn't at Coutts level just yet. Carruthers can't get a look in!! What great problems to have!

 

[Pinchy]

Carter-Vickers was excellent too. He entirely justified his selection, ahead of fans’ favourite Jake Wright.

The lad is strong as on ox, quick and incredibly self-assured for a youngster. Gerrimin.

There ya go...



Oh! A Fleck? Just a minute...

Pirlo is like Coutts you mean?
