We had a 1.14 against Norwich and they had a 0.4 xg and we lost 1-0
They scored from a deflection which goes along with when I said we are conceding poor goals , we also conceded a deflection against Oxford at home , we also should have had a goal against disallowed against brizzle
He needs about 3 touches even to get the ball under reasonable control at centre half. He would be a disaster in midfield.
Did you go to Stoke and Bristol ?I'm sorry but this is utter garbage and myth peddling at its finest.
Other than vs Oxford the forwards have been as bad if not worse than the midfield.
Did you go to Stoke and Bristol ?
if you did you would know this is exactly the issue with our team now. the strikers are getting no service and our midfield is inefective.

He had one chance in the first five minutes and yes he fluffed it but that was it for the game. The midfield gave him fa all game the same as Bristol and the 2nd half against NorwichSimms was put in on goal in the first minute at Stoke and made an utter pig's ear of it with poor touches and decision making

So apart from the defence, the midfield and the attack we've been pretty decent.Yes we have the 8th highest XG the forwards are getting the ball but we are also conceding pretty low quality goals
Getting him out the team is a solutionLatibeaudiere is not a solution to any of our problems

When one is Allen who you don't really want to be starting and it remains to be seen if Rudoni can play deeper.Desperately short is just 5 senior midfielders for 3 spots. However will we manage.
I think the problem might be that so many of us have banked on promotion this season in our heads
Not banked on it but i understand what you are saying in that many probably feel this season is our best chance.I think the problem might be that so many of us have banked on promotion this season in our heads
If it wasnt for poor finishing they should have been three nil up by half time. They totally do inated the midfield and doubled up on tats as our only outlet. We were dreadful until Palmer came on and created one bit of magic to salvage a pointTo be fair , we are not going to create loads all the time .. the game against Bristol was quite poor for both sides , Their goal should have been chalked off
Yea it's a good thing for me but I guess there are always two sides to the coin... IMO you should not be letting players go on a free, especially if there are offers on the table.I don’t think letting Palmer go was a poor move at all. We got a fee for a squad player on an expiring contract and on expensive wages. It’s inconvenient for 4-5 months, but we should have greater flexibility in January with the freed up funds.
Looking at his statistical output for his whole career, we’re not massively losing out and his good start to this season shouldn’t cloud that judgement.
"We tried to sign someone but it didn't come off" is the football management equivalent of saying the dog ate your homework.
For me the issue is - the likelyhood is our better players are going to be off. Sheaf, Wright, MVE and Possibly Simms.I think the problem might be that so many of us have banked on promotion this season in our heads
We have essentially built a whole new squad in 12 months. Just over 12 months ago the four big players were Gyokeres, Hamer, O'Hare and Sheaf. When Sheaf, Wright, MVE and Simms leave they will bring in a lot of money and the starting point across the squad is stronger. Maybe our expectations have just been to do it all in 12 months.For me the issue is - the likelyhood is our better players are going to be off. Sheaf, Wright, MVE and Possibly Simms.
Tbf people have been using the gelling excuse this season when we’ve been lining up with 9/11 players who were here last season so not sure that one will ever go away.For me the issue is - the likelyhood is our better players are going to be off. Sheaf, Wright, MVE and Possibly Simms.
then we’re going to have another 6 months of “well the new squad needs time to gel”
this year is a great opportunity, it’s not gone yet. But we’re putting ourselves at a disadvantage starting the season later than everyone else
Wow... your in the whatsapp chat between Doug, Robins, Matty James and Austin?As I stated last week, and again people can believe me or not. I've seen texts from those involved
Doug has put the stop on it 100%, Robins and James wanted it.
Of course Robins is going to toe the line in a press conference he isn't stupid
But to be fair we've lost O'Hare and Sheaf has been injured, both integral to the way we play as both willing to take the ball in tight situations, which allows us to break through a press As yet, others haven't shown such willingness or ability to do that.Tbf people have been using the gelling excuse this season when we’ve been lining up with 9/11 players who were here last season so not sure that one will ever go away.
Pretty much any team at this level would miss a player like Sheaf if he's injured, I don't understand this idea that you have perfect cover for your best players. It's unrealistic.

Integral yet not in the side for most of two years.
Im amazed a few of you are still here and haven’t moved to Sheffield.
our up turn in form came when ohare returned last season and downturn in form when he was out and then out of form
If it wasn’t for ohare last season we would have been mid table at best
I'd tend to agree with that although I can't stand the chavvy c**t

I don't even think his formed particularly dipped, I'm sure Robins just dropped him as he wouldn't sign a new contract.our up turn in form came when ohare returned last season and downturn in form when he was out and then out of form

I don’t think he was the same player after being left out the squad for the midweek trip to Plymouth
Leeds and Man U games he stood out but was mediocre for the final 3rd of the season
He only started 4-5 games in that final league 3rd of the season. His mediocre is better than Palmers. There was definitely something going on behind the scenes.I don’t think he was the same player after being left out the squad for the midweek trip to Plymouth
