Well in that case Latibeaudiere is still the best defender today :P

Not since Gyokeres left IMO. Simms has many talents but without someone who can hold the ball up that end and a midfield willing to join him it just ends up backs to the wall like today. TBH since L1 I’m not a fan of it at all.

I think the way we set up doesn’t help them or Grimes. The gap to the forwards was a joke at times today and why I didn’t agree with taking a striker off, it just left us lumping it in Simms general direction then setting up the other 9 outfield players on the edge of our box waiting for Bannan...

1 in 3 passes astray or 1 in 4 is more than just hitting long balls. Though the long ball stats are even worse. Thomas 20% and Kitching 9%, compared to Dovin 50% and Lats 57%

Im not allowed to mention it but Kitching’s pass completion was 65% today and Thomas’ 71%. We need much better from them really or he needs to come a lot shorter to make the pass easy for them.

Both a couple of weeks away I think. Wright back on the grass but Lampard said a couple of weeks before he’s able to consider him. I think Sheaf was targeting Oxford but could be wrong there.

One thing I think is we’ll see a lot better from him when we’re playing wingers. No one in that team makes the runs that you see Grimes picking out in his highlight vids. Thought it was noticeable that the first effective forward ball he played was to EMC.

Oxford are 8th in the home league. Sheff Wed are 19th.

I noticed him taking positions today the CBs couldn’t/wouldnt get to him, I assume at Swansea they could but ours either don’t think they can make the pass or aren’t used to having a midfielder happy to take it under pressure.

Also lowest pass accuracy of the three was those two. That defence conceded 22 shots on goal and 53(!!) touches inside out box. Kitching won 2 duels all game Thomas 3. For comparison Dasilva won 6 and Latubeaudiere 4. How you can come out of that praising the defence I’ve no idea.

My issue with Rudoni a lot tbh. Get him wide and there’s no one else you’d want crossing the ball in, off the ball he’s often a passenger.

Cant argue with the results. I keep repeating that. But come off it no one’s going to watch that and fear us.

Not sure if fear is the right word but really don’t want to meet Burnley in the final cos it would mean 0-0 and penalties 100%

Brought him a bad coffee?

Danny Rohl interview just came on iFollow randomly. Very enjoyable

Just think it sacrifices too much elsewhere. Maybe if we can get 343 working with Grimes. Thought Allen did well when he came on there actually bothering Bannan unlike Eccles

Would take them or Sunderland. Sheff Utd for Hamer and O’Hare but feel like Sunderland we’ve been doing it since L1 so it’s tradition.

Good assist for the goal tho

And yet…

Simms 10 Dovin 7 -1 for the goal Everyone else 5
