Strange game. I thought overall the players performed well but a couple mistakes late on meant we lost the game. Hiwula will get much better when fully fit and I want to see the fullbacks be used more in attack as well. Biamou must develop the knowledge of when and where to make his run. Rich bins’ should be were a little strange both in terms of their Ming and personnel.

Didn't think Biamou was terrible at all but this was exactly what I said. There's very rarely anticipation so when a ball is played through he has to react, change body position and move, so those fine lines with through balls are often missedMy observations of Biamou not only on Saturday he doesn't anticipate enough for me he watches where the ball goes and then reacts which half the time is too late....simple fact is we definitely need someone better to get anything out of this league!!
It has been said before and I will say it again, he wasn't really good enough last season and now we are in a higher league I doubt very much he will get significantly better if its goals we want he aint the answer !!

Not writing Max off but that sort of thing is difficult to teach
I thought Doyle was miles off the pace in the first half and improved on the ball in the 2nd half. Out of possession the game bypassed him a lot of the time - Scunthorpe moved the ball too quickly and so he barely made a 50/50 tackle all game, got caught too high up the pitch a couple of times without being able to get back (watch him for the first goal). In our possession he didn't have the pace to consistently get into the gaps to show for easy passes when the pressure was on and I thought he was part of the reason Mason gave the ball away a few times early as Doyle wasn't in position for the natural 45 degree pass forward. He improved in the 2nd half as the space opened up more and his passing was much improved as he was moving the ball on (and forward) much quicker. Will be interesting to see if he's able to adapt but I don't think you can carry a midfielder in L1 just for the leadership he brings, especially if we ever go back to a 4-4-2.I thought Mason looked very good down the left with a few great crosses, a few people saying Doyle was poor but i think he stepped up his game today to match Ogogo and they worked well together.
He lacks McNulty's movement for sure.Yup Doyle didn't get near them first half to make a tackle
Also Biamou makes poor LONE striker runs. Those that don't see it have poor reading of the game or are just bias
I think so toowhen is kelly due back?
Could we play one holding midfielder - Ogogo?
Doyle is captain though. Just can't see Doyle being dropped. Rested occasionally, but dropped tactically?I think so too
I'm not writing him off, just stating my views on his performance on Saturday and said it will be interesting to see if he can adapt. There's a difference between fitness and speed. Doyle could run all day, no doubt, but the quality of Scunthorpe on the ball vs anything we faced last year was visible and I felt it exposed those aging legs first half - there was loads more first time passing and for a big team they had some fast players too. He was left chasing his tail in a 15 yard circle at times.So we're writing off last season's player of the year after one game then? In the same way as it's not ok to with the kids and new signings, Doyle will also be lacking match fitness and will get sharper I'm certain.
Max was ok Saturday and if a partner hit the target his failings are not highlighted as much. I still believe we have a better natural finisher than all of the ones we're looking at in Ponti, but he seems to be down the list so clearly the coaches don't view him as I do and I have to accept they probably know more than me having seen him in training every day, but I'm sure he'd have scored a couple on Saturday.
Some even make their minds up before kick off with certain players...no names of courseSome fans make up their mind after the very first thing a player does and that’s it
