Jim Smith 2,345 Posted August 30, 2022 Really poor and frankly worrying team selection tonight for me. For Dean Smith to watch that game on Saturday and then put this line up put away from home is a concern. We cannot rely on bringing Todd and Pukki on every week after an hour to turn the gsme. We need to impose ourselves on teams. Dowell and Sinani together away from home against hard working sides is not the right formula. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwearyCanary 1,179 Posted August 30, 2022 Just now, The Real Buh said: Idah behind Pukki is how we score goals in this league ala Steipermann/Pukki Agree to some extent. I think it’ll be horses for courses this year and inevitably sometimes the courses won’t be as predicted. Ramsay was good when he came on last game, more so than Todd, so his place was fair despite not being on it today. I’m certain the mug man will make a play to mix it up and take the game beyond the dross of Brum. Hat at the ready to devour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bovril 221 Posted August 30, 2022 The fact we are the better team with that midfield is another fine example of how poor this league is. It's genuinely worrying the gap between the two leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 518 Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Good first half for us. Dominated throughout. I am looking forward to the second when we bring on our finishers and win comfortably. Edited August 30, 2022 by The Bristol Nest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenfoggo 247 Posted August 30, 2022 No changes. One wonders what the Smith plan is, or even if there is a plan other than to bore the opposition into a coma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he'd have made these changes and we were still 0-0 you'd be calling him thick for making too many changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
