I'd still have started him ahead of Dykes, that's how bad I think Dykes is.
But they've spent a fortune on a forward line that's rotten.
It definitely puts what we spent on Simms and criticism of his performances, (which I'm guilty of), in to perspective.

It was very noticeable to me that when we were ready to attack down the right, MVE would run inside with their defenders tailing him and leave Saka totally unmarked to receive a long ball. Happened several times and surprised BC were dragged away every time.I took a look at their forum before the game. A fair few were worried about our midfield and Sakamoto was named as a major problem. They were putting 2 or 3 players on him yet he still took the piss
OK he isn't scoring goals like our other midfielders but he is being heavily marked which is giving our other players more space. At the same time he is still getting useful balls into the area.

Some of the criticism he gets is mental.

He's a great player to have in the squad. Just seems to get on with it and work hard at his game.

Eccles is a top notch championship player. Has been for a long while.

It seemed at times that their plan was to put at least 2 players on each of ours that are dangerous going forward. The problem they had is most of our players are dangerous going forward so they were constantly pulled out of position.
Maybe if they concentrated more on the ball we wouldn't have kept getting to the rebounds first.

Great day, town was bouncing in the evening, City shirts everywhere. Only downside was Speedo in the casino clearly not having a clue what the words to the Sky Blue song were

Its harsh to judge him after 7 games, however he only had 1 great season at celtic who are totally dominant every year .. championship a different league

You'd have to say if we signed josh from somewhere else our fans would probably love him and say hes a good signing .
Added pressure of being an academy kid at a higher level than jordan shipley
They were apparently charged usual prices £6 a pint rather than £3.80 as well
