Petriix 2,855 Posted August 5, 2023 Rowe was already our best player before the goal but that was real quality; which is ultimately what we're lacking in the rest of the team and why we haven't scored 3 or 4 from our 18 shots. It's a great sign and fully justifies his starting place. On the whole there seems to be a coherent plan and, for the first game of the season, it's coming together pretty well. Even if we lose this one, I can see what we're trying to do. I'm impressed with the positioning and work rate. There's a bit of a lack of creativity when everyone is behind the ball, but we've seen some decent pressing and a few rapid transitions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damn that Ralph Coates! 47 Posted August 5, 2023 miles better than last season with Pukki on his own.  Excited about the quality of entertainment here at last. Stacey far better than Aarons Better at set plays  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been a pretty poor investment, other than his first season with us he's gone backwards at an alarming rate. Hanley can't come back soon enough 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S_81 914 Posted August 5, 2023 Mumba just scored the kind of goal that instantly reminds why we shouldn’t have sold him. Those of us with any sense know that of course.
