Baffling stuff last night.
Bocat was getting forward and creating things from the flank.
Manhoef - looked like he could be a goal threat.
Bae - lively and could create.
Koumas - goal threat.
He brought off the bright(er) sparks of attacking intent for Stevens, Vidigal, Junior and bloody Ennis!!

Rightly or wrongly he made the substitutions to try and secure a point🤷♂️
How Manhoef stayed on the pitch so long last night is a mystery because he was dreadful along with Juhno.
Midfield is non existent and it’s baffling to me why Sidibe isn’t being considered.Moran is a good player but he can’t play in a two because his defensive attributes just aren’t there.
For the first time last night as I watched Pelach/Whitehead/Morris deliberate I realised how inexperienced all 3 were on the sidelines

They may be inexperienced, but it isn't rocket science to see where the issues lay..It does baffle me why Sidibe isn't getting minutes and heaven knows what Seko thinks..

With hindsight at half time and seeing all the chances they created going 5 at the back sooner May have salvaged an undeserved win?

You don’t have to have years of experience to see what was patently obvious last night. It was extremely worrying changes weren’t made at half time. You are bang on! |

Koumas sub baffled me the most, best player on the pitch (with Johansson), put himself about and chased all night long, and a great goal. Could tell he was disappointed to come off aswell

Bizarre an assist and a quite brilliant finish and he’s hooked |

Baffling stuff last night. Bocat was getting forward and creating things from the flank. Manhoef - looked like he could be a goal threat. Bae - lively and could create. Koumas - goal threat. He brought off the bright(er) sparks of attacking intent for Stevens, Vidigal, Junior and bloody Ennis!! Not wanting to argue too much But Bocat defensively is poor, they got behind him a stack and were creating lots of chances down that flank. It needed Stevens to steady the ship, which he did largely Manhoef had an absolute stinker of a game, and bar his goal was poor against Norwich - 1 trick to cut inside, no right foot at all, was out of the game for large periods, doesnt defend or attempt to. Junior came on and did well I thought, offered an outlet, put in 1 glorious cross that any decent #9 is reading and tapping in back post. Bae was absolutely bloody awful. Again. Too many flicks and tricks not coming off at all for him, really out of form. Both Manhoef and Bae gave the ball away, miscontrolled, put passes astray many times last night and put us back under pressure. Million should have scored late on, had acres and time to slot home that chance, dithered and fudged it. Koumas ran his socks off and a real bright spark, but the manager has said he uses too much energy making gut busting runs he doesnt need to and is knackering himself out - he was taken off before he injured himself with a muscle injury That said, Ennis is a baffler - he actually had a couple of really decent touches last night, but compounded with many not so decent, cant control a ball or look like scoring (he should have scored a fairly simple chance after Manhoef missed 1on1 by simply lifting and curling the ball into an empty net, but fluffed it. The whole side is a mish mash at the min, a striker who cant strike, wingers who cant beat a man or deliver any sort of set piece, a midfield that goes absent largely, and a defence taking too many risks or making mistakes (but who look up to make a pass and there is nothing on!) Sidebe and Tezgel should be getting minutes, unsure on the Seko issue as he has looked tidy on the ball. Bringing on Videgal who was played clean through and then stopped as if in treacle was something to behold, I reckon I could outpace him at 50 with a heart condition, and overweight. |

Agree taking oof the only three players who can play on the break was just Plain daft given thats the only way we were going to hurt them , the vidigal trudge before robbed before being overtaken by a bloke who started 10 metres behind him was candidly embarrassing I actually had a neutral next to me who was laughing |

I thought it was very strange, felt sorry for him cos he was the only thing we had to offer up front all night. |

Robo 10 your overview is spot on, the Koumas sub was a touch confusing however i think after their 2nd goal we would have lost that game with Shuey in charge and i liked Shuey he saw the issues and remedied them with Junior and Stevens strengthening the team. We really need more presence down the spine with Gallagher Burger and maybe Pearson could be a good fit for Narcis.
Please please put Vidigal on a plane to Portugal asap, one run last night exposed his lack of pace and technique, hes running in glue
