I was speaking to a friend of mine who is a SW supporter and he basically said this. Their lack of depth and ability to bring on players which are going to make any kind of meaningful difference is going to cause them significant issues when there's a lot of games to play in a short period of...

I would've thought that's probably because Grimes is often the one to receive the ball in that left hand slot when he drops deep. Agree on second point. It's a remarkable effort.

FWIW I do actually rate Thomas, and have been a big advocate of his since he arrived. Kitching will probably lose the ball more over the course of 90 mins as he'll regularly attempt forward or cross field passes and drive forward. But with Thomas it's where he loses the ball. From the eye test...

I don’t agree at all, but it’s all opinions.

This is where stats don't tell the full story. Anyone with eyes could see he struggled for much of the first half.

Hmm. It's cliche, but a better side would've probably punished us for Thomas' mistakes today. And it's not really just an isolated case. Defensively he's been the weak link so far this season and his passing just isn't anywhere near good enough to support our build up style. People bash him...

100% this. When teams sit back we're almost happy to sit back as well to draw them out of their low block and then hit them on the counter once the ball is turned over. There will be some games where it doesn't come off but I don't think we'll find it as consistently challenging playing...

The most positive thing about this side is there's multiple different scorers pretty much every single game. That kind of threat is incredibly difficult to manage from an opposition's perspective. Any other side would feel the pinch of a Rudoni or Torp equivalent dropping out the side but we...

Just to put things into perspective a year ago pretty much to the day we lost to Sheff W 2-1 losing in the 93rd minute leaving us 20th. Funny how quickly things can change in a year.

2.5 hour run time.

Not to get ahead of ourselves but the next five fixtures look very favourable.

Sakamoto MOTM for me. He was an absolute nightmare all game and didn't stop running. BTA also exceptional. Notable mentions for Grimes, Allen, and Simms as well. Dasilva and Wright looked off it. Thomas was awful defensively in the first half but a colossus when required to head the ball at...

Well deserved rest for those which aren't on International duty. Incredible effort by all.

Another one that definitely looks like he's taken it up a notch this season.

As good as we have been this won't be the last battering Sheff W receive this season. Starting XI isn't anywhere near good enough and they have zero depth so weeks like this one where they're playing Saturday, midweek, Saturday is going to be impossible to manage.

Really well deserved for Sakamoto he's given 250% today.

Not seen many posts commending his performance but Sakamoto has been immense today.

Another game where Simms is making a contribution and not just with goals his general play is much better.

Just unreal football

Probably better for seeing out games to be fair. More defensively minded than Brau and considerably more experienced.
