Goes to show 3m was a fair fee for him opposed to signing an 18 year old Spanish CF for 1m who is currently on the bench at Hibs and having 2 of the others sat on the bench for us whilst 18 year old Jobe plays out of position in place of them
I know we’re miles behind both Southampton and Ipswich but look at how fast both teams going forward. That was us last season. What happened?
We tried to switch to a possession heavy style at the start of this season and it's killed any speed of play we had.
6 points separating 17th and 23rd in the championship. All to play for at the bottom with 6 games to go…
Think we’ve totally lost our identity mate. When we lost before we’d still tend to dominate the game and create chances. Now we don’t dominate at all, create barely anything and still get beat.
Possession heavy football, unless you have a team of unbelievable individual quality like Leicester, just doesn't work in the championship. Teams are so comfortable defending their own box and us playing side to side football 30 yards from goal just doesn't affect them. Not necessarily long balls but look how direct both Ipswich and Southampton are, they attack space and counter attack with speed. The amount of times today we turned back or allowed Blackburn to get back into shape was a joke.
A poor transfer window, im trying to stay positive (hard after today) but a good window changes everything
