Disagree about Rudoni not being the issue. I think he is the major source of it. Not just last night but since he's come back in the free flowing attacking football has gone. Rudoni doesn't move forward with the ball like BTA to put the defence under pressure. But when he does receive the ball...

Seems more of a project than a starter, and with his failed transfer during the summer and the noises about his transfer to us, I'm just a bit cold on the prospect of him joining us.

LB is an issue with JD out. Brau showed he isn't ready. Bidwell might be a slightly better option in terms of positioning etc. but he's regressing and far from ideal. Could try KKH on the left and see how it goes? Though ideally he'd be in for mvE so he could have a rest after illness. Midfield...

While I agree to some extent, I can't help but feel that had Simms started and put in that performance FL would have been dragging him off after an hour. His treatment of our two main strikers is clear to see he has a favourite who he'll play regardless of form or effort.

I think that was the one where the ball hit the ref, so he had to give them possession from a drop ball.

I think it was more to do with the performance team looking at the squad, illness and four games in the space of a week and concluding we just couldn't sustain a press for the whole game and the effort then impacting future performances. I certainly feel it would have been more effective to try...

If you'd put George or Ferguson coming in, I'd have taken it with a very large pinch of salt but thought there was an outside possibility. George AND Ferguson - not a chance!

We've seen before players come in and can take a long while to settle in. Especially if coming from abroad and having to learn all this in a second language. Brau does look like he has a lot to learn to get up to the standard required, but I'll give him more time to do that. I'd say he looks...

Slow Mo.

I think he'd be a good purchase not just because he's an AM, but he's a different type of AM to what we've already got. Seems more like a CoH type that gets the ball and runs with it.

Knowing our luck it's a totally different illness and we'll end up having a second wave of illness.

Apart from the fact it was built the 'wrong way round' it is/was a very nice example of post-war architecture. And I don't say that often.

Considering what MvE's shooting has been like this season when he has, I can see why he doesn't!

They will have both been playing the AM/supporting striker role for much of the season. They may have been playing it in different ways, but it is still the same position.
