Feels like Manhoef is our only attacker, Ennis and Gooch have no attacking ability, missing Bae. I like the look of Hansen who’s been linked with Leeds and Brum. Definitely need a new striker and an attacker who can play on both wings and behind the striker ideally

It's strange, we didn't do it with Hoever unless I missed it so why are we with Jr 🤔 I thought it was deliberate initially but the more I watch him, I think it's him. Agree

We are basic Bocat getting dragged inside acres of space on their right A good job that non of their players want to shoot Burger needs calm the fuck down There seems to be no plan Quite worrying

Yep, sick note, lazy arse Mmaee won’t be the saviour either Played great second half of last season. He'll have my support Didn’t come back into the side until March and then got injured. Not exactly a “great second half of the season” is it?

We look a worse side than the one that finished the season
CM - Next to no creativity. We simply have to get in a Cundle type or we won’t score many. We have to bring in better than Laurent or Thompson or we’ll struggle.
CB - Decent enough but lack pace.
Fullbacks - I like Bocat. Junior worries me.
GK - He’ll be fine
Forwards - Million is a great player but he’ll be targeted if Bae’s out as if Gooch is the first replacement then we’re in trouble. Gallagher looked OK but it’s no surprise he came off injured.

I thought it was deliberate initially but the more I watch him, I think it's him. I'd be surprised if he thinks he should be standing in midfield, if he does then someone should have told him to sort it out. It's the in possession out of possession movement that is the problem. Out of possession he should be a full back, full stop, regardless of being inverted. I don't mind if he occasionally drifts in when we have the ball but it's only to create an overload. As we lose possession if he's inside he should break up play or recover his full back slot. He's not doing any of those things. He clearly doesn't understand.

Not much to cling to in that half.

We don’t seem to have a pattern of play. We hoofed the ball upto Gallagher first 30 mins and I don’t think he won one header.
I know they look a comfortable side, but we just look a bit lacking in ideas and really bad positional play from a vast number of players.

I thought it was deliberate initially but the more I watch him, I think it's him. Agree A player who is a full back, and hasn’t done that before for us, and probably never has in his career suddenly starts doing so after a full pre-season with a coach who we know is looking to play that sort of game. You don’t like him, we get it.

Gallagher looked OK but it’s no surprise he came off injured. Play 4 at the back. In a traditional Sense. Sign Cundle. Get a quick striker. Sign Carvalhio so you've got a great pool of 3 for 2 positions.

If we kept the reciept for Gallagher can we get a 28 day refund for damaged goods? Honestly, its like vintage Top Gear "Ambitious but rubbish"

If it was a SS master plan I would have imagined Hoever might have had the same instructions but he spent loads more time wide and Million looked a better player for it on the overlap.

Definitely need a new striker and an attacker who can play on both wings and behind the striker ideally 100% need at least 1 striker and 1 pacey attacking winger. seeing this i wish we'd gone in hard for a BTA or Ugbo, we need a powerful aggressive striker to terrify the opposition, not a flipping Spaniel chasing a balloon (sorry Ennis...but f**k me)

I don't know what I was expecting to see but there didn't seem much improvement or transgression from last season.They are well in control and more decisive all over the pitch and we are just chasing shadows.

People get moaned at on here if you mention relegation or alike. I just think if we were to keep this side as it is, which we seriously can’t and won’t, then we’re bang in trouble and I’m not even watching it We’re 100% more likely to go down than go up. I think we’ll be in a relegation fight again, with another lower third finish. We will if we don’t bring in a RB another CB - (preferably one with pace) AM - without one we don’t have any creativity. You just can’t have a 3 man midfield that includes both Thompson and Laurent WF - We need another as Gooch will never be the answer and Million can’t carry all the workload CF - A week to go and our starting striker is Ennis. With Gallagher’s injury record it was no surprise he lasted 28 mins. We need minimum one STR before the season starts and not a “risk”

If we don't improve on that 1st half showing,we could be in big trouble this season.

Man alive this is shite. No goals in this team at all. No pattern of play.
Thankfully the season doesn't kick off for a month. Oh...

If it was a SS master plan I would have imagined Hoever might have had the same instructions but he spent loads more time wide and Million looked a better player for it on the overlap. If and it’s an extremely big if, he’s started to do it from his own accord then why has the manager not stopped him from doing it then? It’s not a natural movement for a full back to make, you would only see it done usually out of instruction.

Reckon I can just walk in through the smoking area at half time? Not got a ticket, as I didn't think I'd make it. Turns out I can probably make the 2nd half... I'm sure no one cares, but I'm in!

We should be doing whatever we can to get him in good positions.
