Squad analysis seems to have swung from stellar to crap based on one game. I had the impression we believed our own hype a bit and turned up strolling about and thought that would be enough. It never is in the Championship. But we have the players.

Could have been most for the first half.

Yes. Numerous quotes saying he’s our poorest starter. He’s not. Not by a long chalk.

Is he? Don’t know anything about him.

Browne was that man! Still yesterday’s news. Need to solve the issue. I don’t think Madsen is the answer.

Still better than some of Thomas’ passing!

That’s fair for me. The best midfielders take the ball on the half turn and develop play. Torp needs three touches and then plays it square.

This is just bizarre. Watching that and saying Bidwell is our weakest link is just strange.

Kyprianou is no better than Eccles, Torp or Allen. That’s why he continues to play in L1. Let’s not get carried away with hype. We need an astute, experienced championship operator. It may not be a glamour acquisition or one that captures the imagination but we need someone who can exert an...

Agreed. But if we get 1 and 2 i think we can get away with 3.

Bidwell was fine today. Suffered from emc playing too wide first half.

Well Sheaf is injured so the info was accurate. For me Torp is a midfielder who needs to be more advanced as his ability lies in arriving in the box and nicking goals. He won’t control a game or break up play. But he’s not going to play that role as well as Rudoni. So we really need Sheaf back...

But we already have it. Possibly the best in the league in Sheaf. If we could have paired Browne with Sheaf it’s lift off. We’ll inevitably add before the window closes and away we go.

On balance yes. Allen didn’t have a bad game. Torp was ponderous and largely anonymous.

You can have all the fire power in the world but if your midfield is out hustled they have no supply. We pushed Saka and Emc closer to Simms second half which helped but our crossing and play in and around the box was either casual or inaccurate. We’ll improve with the talent we have but it was...

Not Sheaf but better than Allen. Eccles?

I know what you mean. Almost feels obligatory to give some a game. That being said Eccles for Torp and Wright for EMC was fine for me.

Torp has some technical ability but he seems to have the turning circle of a large tanker. Reminds me a lot of Trond Soltvedt. Possibly just not fleet of foot enough

Thought mve was a strong 7. Rudoni covered ground but always looked like he didn’t quite have it under control. 5 and 6 elsewhere although I have serious doubts about Thomas and they were confirmed. Weak challenge cost us the goal and his distribution has been a liability for a long time.

Thought we just played with a lack of urgency. Poor final decisions. At least we stamped ourselves on it a bit better 2nd half. Van Ewijk was our best player by a mile. I think Kitching and Binks will be our long term cb pairing.
