Yeah CF options are pretty meh, except the might Daryl Murphy of course, who strikes the ball like my girlfriend strikes a completely unwitting and totally deceased (deadddd, gone, curled up) spider with one of my shoes... Gayle? Fast(ish), but ****e. Mitrovic? Liability and carthorse. Perez? Is he actually a striker anymore?! I think we'll walk the league because we have top level championship midfielders, and an OK defence, with lots of options in these areas.
Dummett is a case of what it says on the tin. He's bang average but he does that well. If you know what I mean. He always puts a **** shift in but it always seems to be just enough. Colback passes backwards all the time. Shelvey looks slow but can pass a bit. Diame looked average aswell. Gayle for me was garbage today.
Not too bad overall. The good thing is, not a single player in this squad is guaranteed to start. We have no 'stars' of primadonnas. That means everyone has to fight for their right to be selected, so we havd healthy competition. Based on recent selections, I think Dummett and Colback look poor, but we now have replacements. Gayld looks lost up front alone, so would likd to see him play off of Mitro to see how it works as a fombo
We haven't seen enough of this new side to properly judge the weak links. We need to see if they can play to what this league needs. I hope we get some improvement from whatever leftback we play. I'm still not convinced that Mitrovic will succeed even in this division. Murphy is made to get picked in this league, but not if we go up.. OK, let's not get too ahead of ourselves, but I think we've a great chance of going up.
