It's the exact same thing with our pressing. The few times we fully committed to the press and got after Betis and St Pauli as a team we forced errors, created chances, and scored. But it doesn't happen very often for some reason. Only the striker and 10 go while the other midfielders don't...

Just doesn't look like we've worked to evolve our style at all over the summer. What do I know though, I don't spend thousands on coaching badges.

It's frustrating how close he plays to Grimes and how little he is affecting the game. Grimes moved into Sheaf's 8 role for 5 minutes in the 2nd half and he dribbled past his man and got forward to support attacks more than Sheaf did in his entire 60 minutes on the pitch. I'm sure how...

Think that game is the best representation so far of what we will look like this season: - We look to dominate the ball against a team who is happy to counter attack - Get the ball wide and swing crosses in - Press well in patches but not for the full 90 - Get punished for stupid mistakes at...

It will be a worry if Sheaf keeps playing in Grimes' pocket rather than supporting attacks

Needs in order of importance: 1. Starting CB 2. Starting ST 3. RW competition 4. LW competition 5. Another starting CB? 👀 6. New CM

Not sure Sheaf has put in a single impressive performance this preseason...

We've gotten worse every time we've switched to 4-4-2 this preseason.

Grimes has done more in the 8 role he's played in the last 5 minutes than Sheaf managed all game. We should genuinely consider swapping them over.

Need some real pace on the wings. Neither EMC nor Saka threaten a defence in behind.

If he could finish we wouldn't need to sign a new striker...

oh ffs Jamie Allen is on to ruin my day

Looked like it twisted his ankle

Pressing looks much better with BTA up top

Signed for £600k from Sweden last year. Fair play. Turns out when you find and sign defenders with pace other teams want to sign them. Shame we went for Bobby and Kitching.

Kind of. The article was basically “if you can’t afford the best strikers in Europe (Vik/Isak/Ekitike) here’s who you should look at” and Kone was at the top in the Vik ‘Power Forward’ category.

Scouted are REALLY high on Kone. They had him in their best under-the-radar U23 strikers in all of Europe article a month or two back. Named him alongside guys like Franjo Ivanovic who just moved to Benfica for £25m.

We sold Callum Wilson for £3m after one good L1 season and considered that an underpay.

Yep that Seydou kid we were linked to would be a fun addition. Lots of pace and dribbling.

Remember how much Parkinson and Robins hated each other back in L1? It’ll be like that x1000 if they beat us
