We haven’t done badly at all, all things considered. Nothing much to complain about defensively and we certainly haven’t folded as of yet. Biggest concern is the lack of chances created, which was the same last season. I don’t think new players getting up to speed will solve it either. I think we’re lacking a cohesive way of playing. Shota supposedly wants us to play attacking football but a lot of the time, it looks like possession for possession’s sake.

Are we a counter-attacking team? High-pressing? Play down the wings or through the middle? Only recognisable thing about how we play is that we try to play out from the back and retain possession, but I couldn’t tell you what our plan/style going forward is.

Spot on. At the moment we do not seem to create situations where we go through teams (lack of a number 10 who drives at people) or round them (wingers or wing backs who can get to the bye line and put in a decent cross). And our central striker too often looks isolated. I had hopes this might be addressed by playing Oscar plus either Allahyar or Tetteh in tandem, but Allahyar seemed to be stuck too far left again last night and Tetteh the same. And it has been like this for some time. Surely it's not being unduly negative to point this out.

The Iranian lad has been a disappointment. One goal in loads of starts. Puts plenty of effort in but a disappointing end result. (bit like our kid)
 
Just reading Ngakia is a defensive minded full back, definitely not a wing back that likes to get forward and put good crosses in...

Does make me wonder, but at least it adds more competition and depth... We just seem really unbalanced at the moment, but it's early days with the amount of new players we've brought in, with more to supposedly come.
 
The things Shota and Acun were saying about Greaves’ contract situation didn’t inspire confidence. A lot of ‘we hope he signs’ and ‘we’re trying to get him to sign’. Really disappointed that he’s not signing a new contract and I now think he’ll go this window. Acun mentioning FFP left the door open for us selling another of our star players for big money to balance the books in terms of headroom.

A lot of people on here have said Greaves is replaceable but I think we’ll struggle to find someone just as good this window who will settle quickly and hit the ground running.

But the FFP thing is nonsense, Syds told us all.
