Not permanently at all. His technical ability is lacking and his misses have cost us points. We can not forget short term and success in place for player development pathways. It isn't the under 21s where results don't matter. It's the big leagues. We are lacking a touch of depth IMO and Mayenda and such shouldn't be asked to start as many games. It's mad watching him though. He does none of the basics right. None.
We were playing Stoke City who’re absolutely ****e. We’ve drawn a blank. We show glimpses of individual quality but I don’t see enough where I think ‘we’ll batter a team’. If you believe that to be wrong then keep dreaming mate.
I stand by my preseason view: first two seasons up we were a top 10 squad. First season we got lucky, second season we got unlucky (and messed up as well). This season we’re a top 6 squad and with a bit of good luck we may end up top 2 (or bad luck sees us miss out). I’d say playoffs is a par performance depending on context. Need to hold our nerve and keep moving forward. January will be a tough window and there are no magic bullets available.
The numbers don’t back it up though because what’s to say player X shot because player Y wasn’t moving to create any space for the pass? To say we’ve created nout in an away fixture where we’ve had 19 shots in the box, 12 corners, hit the woodwork twice.. come on man. How much do you need to create to score?
Yep and it's catching up to us now. We were the most clinical team in the league for a while but I doubt we are now. Scoring as much as we were from such poor opportunities wasn't sustainable
I will as we where bar far the better team today imo. How many times did they threaten? Did they force a save? Or hit the post/bar? No doubt tonight will be full of people moaning we didn't win, but as disappointed as I am, I saw enough to see it will come
Why not. We have some serious money in reserve from the sale of our best player. If we are serious we should back RLB and push on.
We’ve just lost to an awful side, without scoring. I certainly haven’t seen enough to believe ‘it’ll come’.
The shot number shows nothing. the quality of the chance is were shooting at a box crowded with defenders. That’s usually because you’re not quick enough to create a chance and the opposition is in defence
According to my eyes we git the post at least twice, their keeper also saved at least 2 goal bount shots. Guess I need new eyes
We hit the post once I can remember when their lad deflected a cross onto the post. the keeper made 2 saves from humes and AA that had to be seriously special shots to go in
Because magic bullets don’t exist. There is no signing that safc can make that guarantees promotion. We should aim to improve where we can. But any signing we make - particularly one for big money - needs to make sense for us short and long term.
Sheff United, Leeds and Burnley for starters Not too sure after that. Boro’s squad is possibly better for this level - they’ve certainly got more/better goal threats I’d be delighted with a play-off place, as I’ve said from fixture 1 this season.
Their keeper made at least 4 or 5 saves l, that if Patto had made them we would be singing his praises. However we lost, emotions are running high and it's time to bow out
