no, we were good today but they were awful....Dyche got the tactics spot on and pelegrine got his badly wrong....if we can reproduce todays performance on a regular basis I will be delighted but we wont get many teams as poor as wet spam were today.

Why is it that every time we play well, it's because the other team played badly.

Because thats what usually happens. You play well and make them play bad.

That went over your head. I'm on about people who use the 'but' word too much. We played well but... which is then followed by how poor the opposition was and that's why we won.

I too think he might be destined for a more central role, reminds me of Lingard a few seasons back.

Vintage Claret · Post by **Vintage Claret** » Sun Dec 30, 2018 9:41 pm

Very impressed with him today.

Had the confidence to run at the opposition, always showing for the ball and played some great forward passes out wide rather than the dull backwards/sideways passes we've seen too often from some of our midfielders this season.

Did tire towards the last quarter and I was surprised SD didn't bring Hendrick on at that stage but SD clearly had the confidence in him to see the game out and it was great that he managed the full 90 mins.

Does Vokes offer the mobility to run the channels which relieved so much pressure and does Vydra offer the same aerial strength and general hold up play which Wood showed today? Considering how well Barnes and Wood dominated their centre backs it was a big gamble to replace either of them for the less mobile Vokes and less known Vydra with a massive 3 points on the line. Turns out it was the right move by Dyche.

we were bloody awful at palace and they were good...I bet the palace fans knew we werent at it that day..today we were good and west ham were pants....why are some of our fans getting their knickers in a twist if a poster says it how it was today ( or are they saying that wet spam had a good game ????? ). I for 1 hope we dominate games like today on a regular basis but I aint going to think that many teams will be as poor as wet spam were. Give us a point minimum on wednesday and thats a great foundation for our survival in the prem....utc.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Or do you not see that Vokes offers the aerial strength and hold up play and Vydra can run the channels?

I think you’re on a wind up.

No I’m not on a wind up or being deliberately obtuse. My post said that there were no natural replacements for McNeill or Wood on the bench. We didn’t have a wide player on the bench so it’s pretty obvious that there was no obvious replacement for McNeill.

Wood was running the channels superbly and holding up the ball well. Vokes is good in the air but doesn’t offer the mobility of Wood. Vydra is mobile but doesn’t look particularly good at holding the ball up and is also unproven for us. As such, with 20 minutes to go there was no natural replacement for McNeill or Wood on the bench so Dyche stuck with what he had on the pitch and we held on to the win very comfortably. He was proven correct.

Edit - unless you are suggesting that Wood should have been replaced with both Vokes and Vydra which would be against the rules.

He's going to be targeted now. That bloody wand of a left foot he has (to say nothing for the fact he's a 19 year old, development squad age), other teams will look at that and realise he has a ton of composure, and their only defence against it will be to get in his face and smash him before his composure sets in. West Ham weren't the most physical team we've played this season and we'll play more attritional games, but if we're sensible with his workload, get him on the weights a bit, we could be on to a player here.

Which will give our other players more time if the opposition double up. It's a good thing, it's not bad. Man City have about 8 players that the opposition would love to double up on.

Very true, Frank, but in spite of all that he could still do with being a kilo or two heavier. It's a rough game, and that extra mass is the difference between being shagged at 70 minutes and being shagged at 90. But I'm sure he'll grow into it. Michael Keane did it in a very short space of time. He did exceptionally well today, though. Wouldn't begrudge him the MOTM award on that performance.

He looked to be the answer to what we wanted and needed in the last transfer window - plus he looked better than when he played at the start of the season so obviously improving.
Defended like Arfield and attacked like nobody else we have, fantastic to watch. And his play was so simply the midfielders knew he'd be there when crossing balls in. I hope he can do it in most games and it wasn't West Ham being poor.

I'm sure SD will get him in the gym if he needs a few more pounds. It's never done Messi any harm though

Excited by this lad , and I agree that he could be part of a midfield 3 at some point with the driving force which has been lacking in that area.

Looks very promising. Can definitely see him in the centre - he naturally roams around the pitch and is tall. Not the quickest but very technically gifted so I think if he is to become a top player he will move into the centre of the pitch.

Walt · Post by **Walt** » Mon Dec 31, 2018 9:55 pm

So pleased he got a chance and took it. Could be a revelation in time. Tricky decision for dyche now to manage his progression.

After such a good start be tough on the lad if he isn't a regular squad member now, got the shirt so up to others to take it from him. Can imagine it would need a very strong mental character to slum it with u23s now he knows himself he can step up to that level when required.

Yes he's had the odd bench game and a couple of games earlier in season but he looked much more at home yesterday, more ready for it.

I don't for a minute think he's a nailed on starter as his fitness clearly needs time but it's great we've got a young lad coming through into team. Long overdue.

We need to manage his development carefully,plenty of teenagers have a breakthrough in Premier League teams (Rashford for one) and then stall the following season,but Dwight has the tools to play a big role in our immediate and longer-term future.
