If it’s a thrilling 3-3 I’m sure that everyone goes home with a smile, but it’s the same points for a solid defensive display and a 0-0.
Another game with a lot of possession but not that many clear cut chances. I think we need to end the experiment of Leif playing the inverted role and put him back to where he broke the record for most championship assists - on the left hand touchline. O’Shea and Kipre as a partnership are getting better and think they should now be 1st choice pair. Akpom frustrates me, he is a big, strong player but hits the deck way too easily for my liking. Subs yesterday were odd. I know we have 3 games in a week but Jaden was dangerous and Egele was not having his best game so I thought Clarke should have come in for Egele and played on the right. Akpom also played 75-80 minutes, although Nunez was a bit of a headless chicken when he came on - kept trying to do too much. Which brings me to McAteer, Kmc must have seen something in him to invest £12m but he has shown nothing. Came on and was offside within about 10 seconds and then the chance he missed - just needed a calm finish but he slashed at it. The division is not that strong this season (bar Coventry) so 2nd place is not completely out of reach but we need to start stringing wins together - too many draws are not enough
