He will improve I'm sure, but he had a very poor game today.
I'm not sure Godden is the ideal partner either, as we lacked a bit of pace and mobility up front.
Having said that we still created enough opportunities to win the game.
Regardless of the reasons for it, the fact is the big money signing DID start on the bench.
Not for long though, he showed enough in his brief time to show he's a handful.
True, but we won't be playing teams like Leicester very often.
The frustrating thing is that we had the chances to win today, but as I said last week, we are not ready for the season to start yet, we need another week or 2 ideally.
Wtf are you on about ?
You undermined your own argument saying we don't sign multi million pound strikers to sit on the bench, when we had our club record signing, literally sat on the bench!!!
You're not very bright are you.
Yes I'm classing all 3 midfielders as CM.
Sheaf will sit, while Hamer and Palmer/O'hare/Sakamoto will have licence to get up and down.
Have to say I was really impressed by Sakamoto in his brief appearance today.
He offers an interesting option, if we do lose Hamer, he could step in and...
We haven't had 2 proper wingbacks at this level before, so now I think we'll be able to go with a midfield 3.
But we need far more mobility and pace up front. Simms and Godden aren't the ideal partnership (I know it's only been 1 game)
I think we'll eventually start with Wright and a loan...
I have a feeling he will this season, I can see us playing 2 strikers. (Another quick striker required,) So the midfielders will be 3 of, Hamer, Sheaf, Palmer, O'hare, Sakamoto, Eccles and Kelly.
Hence no need to strengthen.
Sakamoto looks a real live wire.
I can see him causing trouble in this league.
Wright will be a big player, but we need to find a player to play along side him.
Defence looked very good until they tired, Thomas looks a good find, and Desilva impressed going forward.
Palmer and Hamer were...
