Learning Plan A…

I do think there’s validity in the claim we’ve had the engine ripped out the team and not replaced. But then it’s a bit worrying that even post Jan well be one injury/suspension away from useless.

Players don’t know plan A yet TBF.

Wright was scouted before the end of last season. He said he knew he was coming here during the playoff final. Simms seems to have been picked up because Everton tried to offload him as part of a Vik offer but Vik didn’t want to go to the Prem.

We’re doing better than the population then. Do you know what the lizard man constant is? Look it up. As an aside, sample size is irrelevant if it’s not representative

I just think we become too defensive with two out and out DMs at the base. A three with Saka and Allen I’m hoping makes up for slightly less defensive solidity with energy.

OK…

Almost like we’re missing a progressive midfielder.

We’ve always played a conservative game. Even when winning L1 at a canter we dominated the ball but mostly won by the odd goal and generally only the lone striker gets a significant number of goals.

And right on cue:

We never have.

Need a win. I’d change the system but Robins won’t so I’d go: Wilson Lats Binks Kitching MvE Allen Sheaf Sakamoto Dasilva Simms Wright Time to go post Fadz, none of our strikers are scoring so may as well play the ones that cost loads.

He wasn’t at the time. He did hit a purple patch, here’s hoping Haji does too

No I’d have the same worries at £1m to be honest. He just doesn’t look like a footballer

Thought Simms showed flashes yesterday. The set up for Godden where he took it over one defender was a good sign, he used his strength well a couple of times. Other than that run and shot against Leicester I’ve not seen similar from Wright. Maybe he really does rely on a deep midfielder putting...

Is it me or did we seem to side foot all our shots yesterday? Even Sheafs screamer was a side foot. I wonder if they’ve been practicing in training, I think both Simms and Goddens chances would have been better leathered with the instep and that’s why the curled wide. Think that’s pretty fair.

No that’s pretty much us. First half hour was best we’ve played in a long time but still toothless. If only we were one of those clubs that can drop £20m on a strike force. Oh… wait…

Do you remember last close season where all we did was buy Palmer and nearly sell O’Hare, then actually sell Hyam?

I haven’t seen the Wimbledon game, but there’s one obvious thing missing from the team compared to then
