    We look like a league one team, today. It's frustrating because their keeper is shaky as ****. Bombard that goal and we'll have a field day.

    Had a couple of promising positions where a better decision would’ve made a chance but other than that literal thing yet

    Nah i dont like this formation, as dont think it gets the best out of talented players like clarke cirkin or roberts. I get its to get 2 strikers on and i do think we will go 4231 eventually but dont think we have the players for this formation

    Matete has loads of potential but under pressure he’s an accident waiting to happen

    Hannobal is poor in a deeper player, gets caught out positionally loads defensively and has poor defensive awareness. The ball is unreal technically and is really dangerous as a no10

    Totally agree mate. Feel like because Simms scored a few he won’t drop him but we play much better with 4 at the back than with 3 centre backs and wing backs especially when 2 of the centre backs aren’t centre backs. Surely Alese at LCB and Cirkin as a wing back is a better option, as good as Clarke is.

    Embo has just showed exactly what we need. Half turn on the ball and driving forward.

    Encouraging thing is it won’t take many additions to make us a very good team

    They look more nervous than us at set pieces.
