Yeah we look one of best teams with no hamer ,a rwb that not got going yet and slightly below par simmsCan’t be arsed with ratings. But when it actually all clicks we will be laughing.
Wright needs to start. Godden class.
Thought Eccles stepped up as well.
I think we can get away with 1 x CM.
- Eccles is good enough to start.
- Sheaf starts every game if he's fit.
- Kelly can get minutes if needed
- Allen is the same as Kelly when fit
Those 4 plus 1 x new CM for 2 spots.
Palmer, Sakamoto, O'Hare for the other.
McFadzean and Sheaf brilliant today.
Feel for Simms, willing to have a go but doesn't seem to yet be on the same wavelength as the rest of the team
Yeah he definitely looks like the price tag and perceived expectation are weighing heavy on himLooks like he needs a goal and a bit of love. Got to get a song going for him. Must be shit hearing another strikers name being chanted even when he’s not on the pitch, and that’s before he gets a home debut goal. He’s also got the cursed running style which means he will get moaned at.
Just spent half of last season with PL relegation contenders and few opportunities. He’ll get there.Yeah he definitely looks like the price tag and perceived expectation are weighing heavy on him

Yep, definitely. Hopefully fans can be patient with him, sounds like Robins will be.Looks like he needs a goal and a bit of love. Got to get a song going for him.

He was fine today, without doing anything special, and literally everyone appears to have rated him a 6 which seems right to me.Feel for Simms, willing to have a go but doesn't seem to yet be on the same wavelength as the rest of the team
You know what, I'm sold. If we're being ruthless, you want an upgrade on Allen. Kelly will be here for the season and can do a job.Allen and Kelly aren’t good enough in that position for where we want to everyone TBH. We also don’t know if Allen will even be back like he was. We needed cover for Gus when Gus was here, we need replacement and cover. Eccles will still get plenty of game time and it’s good competition. Kelly can just hang around being the elder statesman then.
Agree with those. Like you I am really impressed with Latibeaudiere. Always wants to play good football but also tough in the tackle. I think he will have a good career, hopefully with us.Wilson :: 7
A few poor longer balls but he handled playing out from the back pretty well. His spot to lose.
Thomas :: 7
Not much came down that side. A few gaffes when he went fwd. Don't think we'll miss McNally.
Fadz :: 7
Deserves to keep his spot. If he keeps this level for the season, that helps so much with the rebuild.
Latibeaudiere :: 8
Looks an absolutely gem. Think he'll be here for a long time. Good footballer, looks a great defender.
MvE :: 6
Hope he shows more going fwd. He was steady enough today. Da Silva contributed more overall.
Da Silva :: 7
Pushing an 8. Bargain of a signing. LWB is sorted with him and Bidwell. Looks good in tight spaces.
Sheaf :: 8
Pushing a 9 in 2nd half. When we were fading, put in some brilliant tackles. Huge for us this season.
Eccles :: 8
Pushing a 9 first half. Looks like he's bulked up. Seemed to be everywhere. Good going fwd.
Palmer :: 7
Needs to start adding assists and goals but people calling him a Show Pony need to f*ck off.
Simms :: 6
Decent movement. Was decisive (shoot, pass, hold up). Shots were decent. He'll get one and be on it.
Godden :: 8
Best I've seen him look all round. If he was 25-28 he'd be worth a few £m. Keeps his spot.
Wright :: 7
Took his chance. Good enough for where we are. If he settles quick, can drag us up a level.
Sakamoto :: 7
Made a difference. Seemed solid positionally. Glad we've signed him. Will be fun to watch.
Robins :: 8
Made changes when we needed them. Made the right changes. Picked the right first XI. Job done.
I think people also don't realise he is only 22.Yeah he definitely looks like the price tag and perceived expectation are weighing heavy on him

His lack of pace (highlighted by a few Swansea fans after we signed him) was exposed a couple of times today. Looked tired second half and played us into trouble a few times - was involved in the clusterfuck which led to them missing an open goal too.Like you I am really impressed with Latibeaudiere. Always wants to play good football but also tough in the tackle. I think he will have a good career, hopefully with us.
I'd deduct both them a point for that horrendous fuck up that resulted in that chance that looked proper Rostenthalish in real time.Fadz :: 7

Biggest problem on the left was no one showing down the line for da silvaInteresting comments on Latibeudiere and Da Silva. I felt we were vulnerable down that side first and second half. I agree they have good qualities but Lati was beaten a few times and made a slightly rash challenge whilst on a yellow. Da Silva got caught on the ball a couple of times and played one or two sloppy passes inside. I thought Bidwell sured the left up when he came on. Going forward I hope Binks secures the LCB position and Lati competes for RCB. Thomas looks like he could play in the centre of the 3 too.
I was really impressed with Palmer today and would give him and Eccles 8's. He had a nightmare opening 10 mins where nothing came off for him but he grew into the game and was a constant threat going forward. His flick through ball in the second half was worth the admission alone.
Nah, it was funny. Happened right in front of me. I'd give them both a bonus point for the LOL.I'd deduct both them a point for that horrendous fuck up that resulted in that chance that looked proper Rostenthalish in real time.
Da Silva is far from basic , he does the simple things well and doesn't panic under pressure . Also times his forward runs brilliantly and was a great outlet first half .Thought we played well vs a very off colour boro
Ellis is under big pressure for his place he has so much to learn
van ewiyk looks a bit out of his depth atm and has a lot to learn but if he clicks he’s a goal threat
palmer I thought did well but I worry about his workrate
I was impressed with style of play and possession based game, a lot of positives
sheaf Eccles and lads at the back looked good most of the game
de silva is basic but decent not sure there is much between him an Bidwell
overall an important win a loss wudda been hard to take after Gus hangover
new playmaker needed
