I had Wright-Phillips as one of our better players on Saturday. He looks a different player from the one that joined us in January: always looking for the ball, and contributing over the full 90 minutes. He looked by far our most dangerous player against Tranmere, and kept their defenders occupied. My only concern was that he was frequently drawn out wide right by a lack of chances and a mediocre performance from Green, but even that illustrated his determination to get on the ball and willingness to get involved.<br /><br />As far as the atmosphere was concerned, it was a little flat. However, I sit in the far reaches of the West, and over the last few seasons I've found that chants and songs haven't generally spread that far. Whereas on Saturday, when the Covered End did spark into life, the chants were being picked up right around the ground. Possibly just a hangover from Chesterfield, but hopefully the start of something more positive.Gillishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250003556886667852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079412554751733989.post-28768681570266447112011-10-10T03:36:07.492-07:002011-10-10T03:36:07.492-07:00I agree with your assessment of Hayes. He isn'...I agree with your assessment of Hayes. He isn't going to be a prolific goalscorer but he does add a great deal to the team. He isn't a target man and in my view that forces us to pass the ball to get into the dangerous positions.<br /><br />I noticed on Saturday that the ball was often pumped long to Keromorgant instead of taking the patient approach, and I don't think this team plays that type of game very well.<br /><br />Hayes has been excellent I think, I had my doubts about him initially, but he does a great job and would be in my starting line up.The Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693037737078706136noreply@blogger.com
