That is the worst i have seen us in a while, no pace, no movement. All static, didn't move the ball well enough or quick enough from 1st minute. More than a few individual performances were way off, we need everyone to start playing at a higher standard. Too many laspes and everytime we switch off we get punished.
We just don't look solid at the minute, can see mass changes coming, Thomas, Ayari, Saka, Allen, Kicthing and Simms all starting.
Need 3 points quick or pressure will really start to build.

Sheaf would have the same frustrations. I remember him showing it in one match with Simms. My point is that the problem is the forward positions not the midfield.

Will certainly be near it come kick off on Monday.

I honestly don't know the answer! His technique to shoot is not a striker's based on that either.
I mean, sit back and ball over the top? Would explain how he could get goals in a poor team. But then how does he fit into a system that tries to control play?!?
I think we tried that tonight and he was rolled off the ball a lot apart from that one decent turn. He does remind me of early Gyok though so I have hope.

Just a Twitter search brought back USA fans absolutely slating him and not much else.
I don't think Allen will be ready to start yet but I agree on your other changes, though it would be harsh on Binks to drop him.
Not as near as last year!

The problems were all over the place. 3 terribly soft goals conceded, midfield giving possession away for fun and the forwards may as well not have been there.
You cannot concede that freely and expect to get anything from the game. Maybe it'll persuade Robins that bringing everyone back for the corner is a waste of time.

Early Gyokeres could still control the ball

Don't know what you have seen in Thomas or Kitching to put them ahead of Latibeaudiere or Binks.

Other than the fact he scored two Godden was as shite as everyone else. But then he scored two soooo….

As long as Godden gets plenty of support (which I think he would) I wouldn't mind seeing this next game
No where near as strong though to hold up.

Eccles isn't good enough.
I said after we signed Wright that he’s on the hot seat like never before. The expectations from King are clear.
Personally I think the sale of Hamer without any proper replacement gives him some cover, but if the two new strikers in particular don’t perform then he might well be gone before season’s end.

Of the three I’d drop Fadz ahead of Lats and Binks at the moment.

Last year's team was assembled on peanuts and started the season with fixture postponements. This year's team has been very expensively assembled and yet that gaping hole in central midfield hasn't been filled.

Leaving Wright up when we had a corner might see him having a use in the side I suppose
Disagree, Decent championship player. Can't decide if he can go further.

Wright can’t control the ball. He can’t hold the ball up. He can’t win the ball in the air. He likes the ball to his feet with plenty of space and time. And without some centre half battering into him.
Sadly, his style works in Turkey but has less chance in the Championship
There has been a massive upheaval, 14 out 10/11 in. Main two match winners gone etc etc. Still think a lot of the new lads will come good

Not read the thread, but this is the game that's convinced me the midfield is going to cost us the season. Somehow we're scoring (well MG is) but we're creating the square root of fuck all. I still think I can see potential in the new signings, but if half of them aren't given the ball in good positions then it's all for nothing. MR is usually ruthless when we underperform, but he has absolutely zero options to change it in the middle. Frustrating, given the pre-season optimism.

Cant make a transfer appear that doesn’t exist. Looks like we got absolutely bum raped on Kitching so fuck knows what we’d have paid for what if we’d tried to get anyone in above all else. Hopefully we have something liked up for Jan.

We bring everyone back and then the goalscorer walks past everyone for a free header from point blank, I had to laugh watching it.

Was thinking the same, but not sure Godden can lead a line by himself but you wouldn't trust Simms or Wright either right now.
I don't give a fuck how much has been spent and what has happened. The points on the board will be all that matters at the end of the season.
Two lightweight AMs (neither of whom naturally play in that position) plus Godden alone up front doesn’t fill me with confidence.
It’s a bizarrely makeshift side for a team that’s spent ~£20 million in transfer fees this summer.

You can't, which is where the adulation for Hamer in screwing us over in the timing seems misplaced.
