Positives: Its only 1 nil Weve passed the ball well at times We got better as the half went on Patto has been really good Rigg is an unreal talent that is showing exactly why he should start most games Negatives The start was shocking, leicester should have been out of sight Defensive shape is really poor Too easy for Leicester to pass through the lines - mainly because the gaps between our lines are far too big No pace going forward which means Leicester are getting man behind the ball We can get something out of this but got to be brave with our subs, id be getting rusyn on to buzz about from a wide left position
Should have been 2 or 3 down after 15. But after that even steven for me. They have better plans than we do, but we are in the game. I do worry about our shape when we lose it. Looks bloody ragged at times, but Ballard is a rock. Not sure about Seelt at all mind, scares me. Rigg is a proper footballer. Everything done at pace and with purpose. He is almost too quick of thought for some of his teammates. Build the team round a player like that in my book. Really not seeing Hemir in this line up. Feel sorry for him but he has to show a bit more in terms of positional play. His touch looks a bit wooden as well, safe side then turn, needs to get opened up a bit. Game not done, which after 15 mins I couldnt have expectes. Lets get at them second half and see where it takes us.
Jobe for rusyn and mundle for Ekwah with onien sitting in front of back 4. Neil and Rigg can push, rusyn left mundle right. That’s would I’d go for at half time
We have some real energy and pace on the bench, I hope Aouchiche gets on ... think he'd be great with Rigg tbh. Both quick thinking and want to play forward all the time.
Agreed. Another one I’d like to get introduced into the team to get ready for next year, he’s shown some signs when he has featured but never got a fair go yet imo
Rigg has been our best player, he should be starting in front of Jobe, I do actually like Jobe I just think at times we have better options. He's not the superstar just yet that the club seem to think he is, Ekwah is the same, some games he's great others he's non existent he also seems to be undroppable
You've quoted me saying "Long" I didn't say that, I said "Constant".The three names you quoted I'd consider a constant amount. Neal and Mowbray having an assistant isn't what I would class as a "Staff",and Beale rocking up on his Todd.... Goal keeper coach Performance analyst Physio or medical team Attacking coaches Defensive coaches All areas alone that you would imagine a Manager/Head coach may need and feel comfortable working with to make his ideas work within the background. Then your getting into the fancy stuff like Nutritionists Sports science etc. Football management is the kind of job where they probably need their own team. But the games changing all the time so what do I know. But reports were Will Still knocked it back because he wanted his team with him but couldn't. A Manger may even want to go daft and have at least 1 scout of his on the team. However they all know what they sign up for but in the end, the club may have to reevaluate the approach to odds and sods. Can't just keep giving coaches and managers the boot.
smug needs to be in the dressing room. Dodds has lost the ****ing plot. Who would you take off for Rusyn?
I would probably change it 2nd half, depending how half goes Take seelt off for rusyn Jobe off for mundle Ba off for ekwah Go 433, more goal threats on the pitch n real pace
Dan Neil caught on the ball again. He really struggles against the speed that the top teams close players down.
