Density again
Here’s the Telegraph people map from Saturday. Interesting how close together Bullard and Murphy were (Bullard is under Murphy here), and how far apart McBride and Kamara were (relative to Healy and McBride). Also Dempsey was wider than he has been, but almost all of his passing was forwards or to the left.
Odds and ends
Did you have a good bank holiday? All good here. Out in the sun for a few days, which was terrific. Let’s hope the weather stays with us until next Sunday, eh?
Here’s some news.
“It’s amazing how things turn round. He’s great with the players, he doesn’t take any crap, and doesn’t tell you crap. He just sees it as it is and I can see why Fulham got him here.
“He is spot on. He hasn’t missed a training session since he’s been here, which tells you everything.
“I said to him the other day, ’sod being a manager, Roy, with all these pressures’.
“But he said he loves it and enjoys it and that’s the kind of bloke he is. He wants us to play the ball on the floor and he is a football man.”
Franck on his part in the goals on Saturday. Interesting point about Hangeland grabbing his shirt:
“McBride was my player. I just got my shirt pulled by Brede Hengeland as the ball came in and it gave McBride a couple of yards and it was enough to give him a free header. I had just come on and I was watching McBride and I was following him but, in those two yards, I lost the ball and it gave him the two yards.
Harry Redknapp will field a full-strength team next Saturday:
“I will field a full strength side as I owe that to other people in a relegation battle.
“I wouldn’t do that - it is not fair, I wouldn’t want someone to do that to me so I won’t be doing that.
