Yes he does that but then just gives it back. I’d be interesting to see how many opposition attacks come from him cutting inside and losing it. He’s better when he hits the line but then can’t do the cross. His driving runs from deep drags us up the field though. That’s his biggest strength to me.
Isn't that one of the issues TM alluded to though? trying to balance giving these lads the game time they need and winning games. Do you take short term pain for long term gain?
It’s a tough call. I’ve not seen much of Aouchiche. Nice technical player but all fart and no ****e. Play Prichard and Aouchiche does bed in. Probably just needs balance.
Adil looks a good player, quick feet and mind but needs games to adapt to the pace of the league. Hes another I think would suit a midfield 3 with a proper dm holding so he can get up and down as an attacking 8
i don't think we would of been worse of getting them 3 the games needs rusyns has looked alright and if we start learning that we can play a ball through from him i think he would of had a lot more goals then he's got i think auchi could of defo had the same impact as jobe and seelt would give you the option of playing onion as a cdm i think its all been poor team management from beale and from mowbray
Rusyn to me is a left sided forward, play him there as part of a 3 and I think he would come on leaps and bounds. Trouble is he can't play that role and Clarke play left wing. Rusyn will do a job at cf, but I dont think we will see the best of him there
agree i also think he would be good playing off a big cf some one who could knock the ball on for him to run on to and i think he's got the stamina to play as a 10
I think he’s perfect for that Pritch role in between making things tick. Hard to pick though when he’s not impacting games but then as you say won’t get up to speed if he doesn’t play in them.
Aouchiche should've been playing months ago. Has 1 goal and 1 assist in 557 minutes with just 4 starts. His data is very good, can create (not as much as Pritch), takes loads of shots, gets on the ball in dangerous areas. Just a shame our coaches force him up front or on the wing and then throw him under the bus after making a mistake in a position he shouldn't have been put in.
Think he needs the support from Pritch to help him adapt, would like to see them playing side by side more but sadly can’t see that happening, we’re far to predictable with the way we set up

Rak sakyi from palace linked again, was linked back end of the last window so could be a lazy rehash story, would be a good addition if true
Pritchard refusing to play. Pretty clear he was playing to be away like. Sudden hot burst of form after a year of being warm. Class on his day, clever player but personally glad we get this resolved at last. Best of luck to him.,
The lack of experience on the bench today is a joke really. We are absolutely desperate for new signings.
This is the first game where all these kinds ds have been on the bench, if we didn't have injuries they wouldn't be on the bench.
