Sluts look nervous as **** In the first half, his team Copied him until the last Ten mins. In the second Half for the first half hour We looked like the only Winners. Bowens goal Was a cracker... Grosiki will absolutely Walk this ****ing league This is if he stays. Hector was my motm By a country mile. Aina got better as the game Went on, got great feet and A ****ing brilliant long throw, It's almost like having a corner. I don't think clucas had a very good Game and Dawson was ok. Max did brilliant considering this Was his first game at this level. Hernandez and Campbell Will score a lot of goals as soon As Campbell gets fit.... mac Kept us in the game first half And apart from a cpl of flaps Had a decent game... if we Can iron out the defensive Lapses we can do well this season.
Apart from McGregor who kept us in it those you criticise did better second half. The first half just looked disorganised and, like when that happened under Bruce, I think you have to lay that on the manager.
As much as I liked Bruce as our manager, it is undeniable that he isn't able to change a game. There's one plan and he sticks to it - even his substitutions are like-for-like. Slutty, meanwhile, made a few minor changes, gave his players specific instruction, and sent out a transformed side. With ten minutes to go I thought we were going to win the game. A very encouraging start to the season, I thought.
It's not about bollocking it's about getting them organised. We had plenty of inadequate first halves under Bruce so I hope we get games started better under Slutsky.
And there's a real schizo post. Better finishing and we'd have lost 5-1. We hung in there. Which was good to see. Lots of positives. Pity most of you have spent the last few months calling **** out of the team.
Think most have been calling the quality of the squad , which still stands, today's bench was very very low on quality , 2 injuries and we'd be ****ed next week without any incoming
Squad yes. Team no. Best gk in the championship. Top cb. Top cm. Two top forwards. Just hang the decorations off that.
There's definitely plenty to build on , but like you said we should have been 4-5 down and we would all be feeling very different , still need 4 or 5 good players in to sustain a promotion challenge Imo
After watching a very poor first half I think to see the team come out second with good spirit and a much improved display is very encouraging. We deserved a very good point, let's just hope now some decent new signings come in to give us a chance.
Think the commentator said something about it being the first time we've avoided a loss at Villa Park since drawing in 1971.
There was some **** on Danny Kelly phone in earlier saying similar. ****chops from Bedford or somewhere. One game in. Bruce is too good for them.
