Id sign barnes on a free if wages are cheapish He's so good at linking up attack in transitions Something we lack
Would keep Tufan for definite. Pelkas I think has much more to offer too, has struggled with injuries and not really getting a run in his best position with good players around him. Careful saying things like that about Allahyar, he’s better than Mbappe.
I agree, apart from Tufan. He's got 5 goals (our 2nd most). I think he's shown real desire to get back fit and playing and with a proper pre-season and proper wingers, (moving him to his better position) I think he can offer more
They are good, and just clinical with their finishes, Ebiowei looked much better, Traore look quite good in the first half and will only get better, Put t down to experience and move on to the next.
He’s had two bouts of hamstring injury with a lot of the season missed. I don’t know what you expect of him. To be as good as Tella or Zaroury? He’s 21-years-old and hasn’t had a solid run of games this season.
I'm actually not too disappointed... we caused them plenty of problems and I think the defence ie, Macca and Jones stood up pretty well. We have poor full backs and teams exploit that. They're a team thats cost probably 3 times as much as ours and they could afford to do so. As much as I hate them, what they have done at a time we went up with them should be a big lesson to us. We know why but its in the past. We move on. What the owners are recognising are the deficiencies and addressing them. Acun has been amazing for us and I'm certain he will get it right. On the playing side, we've been unlucky with Tetteh looks like a player, have Traore back, looks like a player, Oscar is ok, I like Tufan and Seri so our transfers last season weren't all bad. We let ourselves down in the loan market...
I think it's important to note that a lot of the players that get stick are the ones that would benefit from us playing in the other teams half which we don't often do, this has to change if we want to challenge next season. Whenever we go forward it's disjointed, a bit of a mish mash of players on different wave lengths and attempts to force an opportunity.
He should have been on from the start (yet again!). I hope Rosie gives him and Doc a start at Reading.
I would agree with you about Pelkas, who rarely seems to influence the game, but feel Tufan is growing into EFL football. I like Allahyar's attitude and he has inspired moments but I think his end product was dubious even before his injuries. Think at the moment Longman is ahead of him.
Disappointing but no shame in getting done by that lot tonight, far better than us. Ebiowei showing why LR wanted him and Traore showing what we've been missing. Onwards and upwards, Reading Saturday, if we'd been playing them tonight we'd have won.
Not sure where Doc plays if you’re not squeezing him into some silly position on the wing. Seri and Slater deep for me.
Our play in the final third is so poor. I get it that we are a club still in transition but still. We had so many good positions, half chances, etc but time and again the final ball or finish was so poor.
