Not sure why Rico's getting grief for the goals. Seems to be Canos (again) and Benrahma most at fault for the first and second goals respectively.

For the first goal most people have a player/area during the corner and all start to move outwards as it's cleared, but Canos moves forwards and leaves his man unmarked on the penalty spot (who the others thought he had covered) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u03m80wH0M4&feature=youtu.be&t=14 . He cost us at least one other goal I can remember in a previous game doing this (even more blatantly).

The second goal is harder to see from the highlights, but I think that happens because Benrahma is tracking his man initially, so Rico goes to cover the man who's the biggest threat, smack in line with the penalty spot, but Benrahma lets his man go, and he trots in unmarked at the back: https://youtu.be/u03m80wH0M4?t=98

The clearance for the first was Rico and it was woeful. At a time where the defending was panicked and completely disorganised he couldn't clear it more than 10 yards, inviting another ball into the box which they score from.

Personally thought he had a poor game but then he wasn't alone there. Everyone's entitled a bad day at the office.

Far from a perfect clearance, but when it's a goalmouth scramble and he's nicking it off the toes of their attacker, I think it's harsh to blame him for a hack away in that situation, ultimately he got it away. The real issue comes with Canos doing his usual thing, of covering an attacker temporarily, but then wandering off, when the danger hasn't gone, leaving a big hole, and in this case a man unmarked to score.
 

Rico Henry

Impressed with him 2nd half, noticeable how he always had an option inside (Jensen/Norgaard) and further forward (Said). Can't remember him having to turn back to JJ many times.
 

Rico Henry

Thought he looked back to his best second half yesterday - and nearly got a goal at the end!
 

Rico Henry

One of our better players this season imo

Your defiantly seeing it wrong, he would of been my MOTM yesterday if it wasn't for that crazy pass that nearly lead to a Bristol goal, but apart from that he had a great game and worked hard.

Looks much more comfortable in a four.
Was a class act and they got hardly anything out of him (barring the crazy moment he switched off you mention).
 

Rico Henry

WTF was he doing?

You just can’t make mistakes and switch off like that at this level.

Otherwise looked far more of an attacking outlet.
 

Rico Henry

I thought he was impressive last night. A player who will earn a crust in the premier league.

I wouldn't say excellent. Nobody was excellent today. Think it was Rico's error that ultimately cost us the goal

The error was having zero movement to play the ball down the line. Oli made no effort to give him an obvious out ball down the line.

We subsequently turned over possession that led to the corner they scored from. Rico rightly had a few words for Oli prior to the corner being delivered by Forest.

I agree with those that thought he was decent yesterday. Main frustration with him yesterday was a poor touch a few times when we'll placed to deliver a cross into the box.

Totally mate, I don't think anyone walked away with an excellence star to their name yesterday. I thought he was solid enough defensively and got forward a lot. His good work was undone by poor touches when trying to get a cross in which led to losing the ball or simply poor delivery, which the whole team suffered from yesterday.
 

Rico Henry

Millwall game, fantastic first touch to get the ball into the box for the winner. Without that he gets closed down.
Last night, great commitment to overlap Benrahma, which just gave Said a bit more time to set himself for the curler. He is very unselfish, Rico and Dalsgaard have been excellent.

Not sure I'd agree with excellent overall - had a poor start but as with most players a run of games and he is getting back to the level we know he is capable of. I'm hoping for a full season out of him as he is top drawer and injuries have blighted his career to date.

.............a tough game for the little fella last night................

Was disappointed with him, making Osayi-Samuel look good, he was much to tight too Osayi-Samuel which allowed him to get turned, not sure if he was told to do that, he eventually learned and stepped off a bit, which allowed Osayi-Samuel to turn and face him, and by doing so he couldn't get pass Rico, that was after receiving a yellow card. I am a bit frustrated because this is what he should of done at the beginning of the second half, the first half he kept Eze quiet and played well, it lead 'Eze' switching sides with Osayi-Samuel. Rico will only get better by these experiences.
 

Rico Henry

Had a torrid 15 minutes after half time then worked it out and Osayi-Samuel didn't get the better of him after that. Sign of a very good player in my opinion when someone can work it out and put it right during the game.

Still a no brainer choice though as he slips the injury-prone tag.

He suffered a series of injuries that's an irrefutable fact. We must hope that the advice provided by our medical staff enable him to remain injury-free in the future.
 

Rico Henry

Post QPHA interview - really likes "definitely"! Agreed with everything the interviewer said!
 

Rico Henry

I thought we were very sensible once he got booked, he stepped off and in fact he received a lot more support from his wide man.

I thought he dealt with it well. Very little got past him him or in the box

Totally agree. How loquacious are you going to be straight after giving 100% commitment in a very physical game like that? It might be justified if his performance on the pitch was repeatedly dreary but not at all in Rico’s case.
 

Rico Henry

I'd rather have a left back who lets his feet do the talking rather than a gobby individual who talks a good game, but on the pitch couldn't beat an egg.

He's not employed to give interviews, his tool, of which we all have different ones (no puns plz) is being an extremely good left back footballer, whom I'm sure would shine brighter than any of the posters on here.

I guess you mean ‘sharpest’. Still, perhaps you’re a young lad and have just played a football match in which case mixing your clichés can happen.
 

Rico Henry

Shock, horror. Footballer answers inane interview questions with equally inane answers. I actually can't think of the last time ANY footballer gave some insightful responses to interview questions directly after a match and honestly don't see much point in them. They're not being paid to be intelligent and articulate and most certainly aren't! I don't care as long as they do their talking on the pitch.
 

Rico Henry

Was very good today, but wtf was he doing at the end running about 60 yards out of position and then giving away possession....
 

Rico Henry

Ive been saying it all season and the second half today was the first time Rico has consistently bombed on down that wing and overlapped the wide man. When he does that we are such a threat on the left and it really pushes teams back. One of the main reasons we got the win today.

Up until today he tends to hold back and sit just inside the oppo half. Seeing him taking on the last man down that side was refreshing to see as hes very good at it.
