Oh yeah I'm not writing him off or anything. Just stating it's not been the seamless transition many of us were hoping for. I still think Bedders is good enough for this league tbh. The others less so.
Huddersfield at home showed us that. ****ing Huddersfield. Yet somehow Martin is convinced this will work in the Prem. Absolute state of it
Did you expect anything different? This is how he plays, the only way he plays. He isn’t going to change even if it might yield better results. Might get him a job at a better club a la Kompany
Sorry, people are going to say this is better than last week but it isn't. We are doing exactly the same things. We are too slow coming forward. We don't have the runs and when we do we ignore them. Our passing just isn't very good. That goal wasn't THB's fault. Why was it pinged back to him there for halfway? We need to have more courage to go forward or just hold the ball. This particular XI is not good enough for this league. AA is miles out of his depth. Miles.
THB getting found out at Prem level. BBD and Downes the stand out players. But just all a bit meh. Same old suicidal crap.
Absolutely extraordinary. I could have tapped that in and I'm 350 miles away, over 50 and watching on a two minute delay.
I thought Aribo was quite good and worked well with Diaz. We have created chances but not taken them. But we cannot give away so many unforced errors. Archer for Armstrong and Fernandes for Smallbone please.
Let’s see if any lessons have been learned. Not sure if he will change quick enough or bring on the right mix.
Overall I still think that was far better than the first half last week. Offering more going forward. Desperately lacking quality in final third though as we all know. Smallbone has had a mare. Miles off the required standard and needs hooking at HT. Ideally for Fernandes. Diaz strikes me as the stereotypical hot headed south American but without the talent based on 2.5 games so far. Early days though of course.
He definitely got better as the half went on. Definitely need those two subs. I think we need Dibling too.
Yeah the contrast between the two teams going forward is big. Their vision, passing, and speed is something we haven't shown at all this season.
