Also seem to remember Idah having a slight back problem? Idah to be the next off the production line. Looks very promising from what I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted August 24, 2019 I was curious when I saw Roberts missing. With three midfielders, you would've thought one would be sacrificed for Roberts as there is no winger on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With three midfielders, you would've thought one would be sacrificed for Roberts as there is no winger on the bench. Would probably mean dropping McLean or Vrancic out of the match squad as Tettey is there to bring on to shore things up. Harsh on either but I agree Roberts offers more of a different option than two similar players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 24, 2019 Hanley gets turned way too easily, don’t want to knock one of our own, but his mobility, or lack of, is what costs him at this level, not his footballing ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 24, 2019 We have been under the cosh a lot, and much is our own making, because we are not trying to survive, we are trying to win the game. Big credit for the way we are playing and knowing that scoring goals is the only way to stay up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted August 24, 2019 I've got Efan Ekoku commentating on mine. We're not going to sort the defence, we're poor defensively because of the way we play. What we gain in attack we lose in defence. From these 3 game it looks like scroring goals isnt going to be the problem. Will be interesting to see if Amadou makes a difference to us defensively. Opposition have far too much space, meaning we will always be vulnerable to conceding. Not sure we can rectify that without changing our style. And I for one do not want to see the return of Hughtonball Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted August 24, 2019 Not particularly blaming anyone but hopefully with Klose and (the now slightly anonymous) Amadou in we’ll look a tad more solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted August 24, 2019 Well there you go. Soaked up their pressure fairly effectively. First time we attack they capitalise. Hanley arguably questionable again turning his back on the ball. Disappointing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
