Our fans expect every new signing to be straight into the side
. That is progress folks, squad depth means good players are on the bench. It means they don't get rushed into the side, learn our system, earn your place.

To be fair, we did ship 3 really poor goals last time out, it's understandable that people would think your marquee defensive signing might come straight in.

Also odd not to start Kitching having chased him all summer

Binks has been here longer and trained with squad longer.

We didn't chase Kitching all summer for one away game at Hull. So the fact he has only made the bench at his first opportunity is no fucking drama!

Thomas was at fault/involved for all of them and he's gone straight out the side (which I think is harsh tbf).

What does this mean? He's played five matches like most central midfield players in the country.

A marque signing who has had a dip in form and we have a very good loan in Binks who has had to be patient. Thomas who has been very good played a big part in shipping those 3 goals has been dropped.

So perhaps it has been addressed while trying to keep the back three fairly settled with those that have trained the most together.

The Kelly disrespect is pathetic
Click to expand...
It’s not when you look at where we want to be, he might be okay for a game or two but we really shouldn’t be relying on him as our first backup midfielder. Compared to the rest of the team he stands out like a sore thumb to me. Great character and every respect to him but he’s just not at the level you’d expect for a top 6 team in this particular championship season.

Solid start from MvE, but that's several corners conceded in the first 6 mins. Gulp.

I’m well nervous for this game, I think we’d be lucky to get anything out of it tbh, really odd team sheet as well. I’m surprised we’re not starting Sakamoto over Ayari, that kid really gives his all and can’t get a look in for some reason, shame really.

Probably a game to drop Godden and put in Sakamoto to work hard to support midfield and link to Wright.
Never going to happen.

Absolutely, just not the level required for a top 6 finish in my opinion, this year’s championship is an extremely good standard.

Agree 100%, we need to control the midfield more, particularly in a frantic game like this.

Lovely flick by Wright. He's done a couple of nice lay-offs so far.

Bad game for Eccles haters this; he’s started very positively.

Lati is so so composed for a CB.

There isn't a squad in the Championship or the Premier that is where they want to be. It is where managers earn their corn. To be a manager means manage with what you have.

We’ve started OK. Some decent passing and Eccles having a good hold on the midfield. MVE started very well.

Yes. Why oh why can’t the reserve wingback get a game at AM ahead of a £6m loanee?

Good feet from Ayari after the freekick, was definitely fouled.

Kelly doing the Kelly things well (not passing).

MVE looking much better (I had to miss a few games through an enforced holiday, so not seen him since first few)

Lati doing okay but been caught out with the ball over the top a few times.

Okay start for an away game I guess.

That is where one up top and having another man in midfield helps. Away I would rather try and get control of the game then turn the screw with subs and a change in formation for last 20 minutes.

Wow, that was a chance. Did someone get something on that to get it away?
