No, it’s because MVE has very little positional discipline. Good going forward. Poor defensively.

It was a frustrating draw.
First half, in my view, we were better yesterday than v QPR. We moved the ball with such confidence and everything was slick only to be pegged back by an avoidable goal.
Second half, we lost control and struggled to settle in.
I’ve said once and won’t be the last time… Our depth is problem. We don’t have good personnel to come on and change games from the bench. Ideally, you’d want to change both wingers, a creative CM/AM and a striker if you need to turn a game around. Haji played well but BTA and EMC dropped off in the second half.
Sakamoto had a bright cameo but wouldn’t blame Lampard for leaving that sub till late if it risked an injury to him.
Monday's training session is going to be wall positioning drills all day.
Hope so
I need to rewatch the goals, particularly the 2nd but gut feeling is that Rushworth is getting blamed harshly.Hadn't read the thread, and I had to watch the replay due to other social commitments yesterday.
An entertaining game, we looked sharp. Seems two dumb fouls led to goals from free kicks for them. Who mentioned to the press that they would easily sort out their free kick defenses during mid week??
Torp's goal was wow.
Their second was also impressive. I'd hafta watch the highlights again, but I recall the kicker moving the ball about a foot to the right before curling it around the wall to the near post. Oh well.
I'm confident for the start of the season.
Glad to see Saka getting a few minutes. Cannot wait for him back in action.
Oggy wondered if it took a slight deflection.I need to rewatch the goals, particularly the 2nd but gut feeling is that Rushworth is getting blamed harshly.
For the first goal, perhaps could’ve parried it differently. That said, the ball did swerve a bit.

I take your point, but at the end of last season we were bemoaning our inability to get anything from the teams at the bottom (Derby, Plymouth, Luton).Think if we beat Norwich it’s been a good start points wise, football has been scintillating at times, but 8pts from 4 against the bottom 6 is a bit meh tbh.
We're pretty much at full strength though and with a near full bench. That makes an enormous difference.I take your point, but at the end of last season we were bemoaning our inability to get anything from the teams at the bottom (Derby, Plymouth, Luton).
For QPR we were missing Dovin, Lati, Sheaf, Tats and Eccles.We're pretty much at full strength though and with a near full bench. That makes an enormous difference.
It's not nearly the same as having to name three keepers to fill the bench and that's after the nippers are already in there.For QPR we were missing Dovin, Lati, Sheaf, Tats and Eccles.

You should see the threatened meltdown on the transfer thread if Sheaf isn't replaced todayIt's not nearly the same as having to name three keepers to fill the bench and that's after the nippers are already in there.
Of those Dovin's been replaced (sort of) and only Tats was probably a first choice starter.
Oh I know! Grimes club captain? A name that might not go down so well either might be Bidwell, if he's still hereYou should see the threatened meltdown on the transfer thread if Sheaf isn't replaced today
Whisper: they aren't real records, you need to do a deep dive! If we average 2 a game we'll be threatening Leeds total from last season. The record goals totals in the whole EFL haven't been matched since the 60s but you'd need 3 a game so we're on targetSo we broke the league record for the amount of goals scored in the first 4 games of a season. Anyone know how many the record is for 5 games and how many against Norwich we need to score to break that too?
Well the opener against Hull could do with replaying to help the causeWhisper: they aren't real records, you need to do a deep dive!

I thought we were a bit unlucky and we didn't have Haji fit. I think he's getting there now but probably still has more to come.Well the opener against Hull could do with replaying to help the cause
People never learn. Comments about Lampard being useless, the defence being shit, the subs are a waste of space, promotion is out of the window. The first half was as good as I’ve seen us for years. Last week we won by 6 goals. We’re in the top 5 after 4 games. Maybe we should just wait a bit longer before we make emotional statements about the state of things. We’re in a better position, as a club, than we have been for years. Enjoy it and accept that sometimes we’ll have a bad spell in a game. People sound like spoilt Arsenal fans demanding ‘signings’.

Yep shouldn’t have led to a goalThe first goal was poor from Rushworth. Yes it was hit well and yes it bounced in front of him, but he missed it with his hands and it bounced off his chest.
Wouldn’t notice if we didn’t concede from so manyFrustrating how many free kicks we give away our own half. Have a word Frank.
I was wondering where to put this but when wondering who Woolfenden would come in for and if Frank would do it soon, for me if you are going on form there is a strong case to put him in. I say this as A. a Bobby Thomas fan, and B. someone who thinks you can't blame all goals, particularly set piece goals, which they all have been, on just the defence.Not sure I’m gonna blame Thomas and Kitching and rushworth we need all of our players to defend
In the case of G2 for Derby, literally.but he has his fingerprints on a lot of the goals conceded above
Now as i said this isn't a witch hunt, i like Thomas, but he has his fingerprints on a lot of the goals conceded above and i can easily see an argument for getting the Woolf in the team asap. Kitching has been pretty faultless really and has started the season the better of the 2.
I think it's a tough decision isn't it, although I agree that Thomas hasn't started too well. He is very strong in the air in the box and we have suffered when he's been missing in the past.
Just the two?So we broke the league record for the amount of goals scored in the first 4 games of a season. Anyone know how many the record is for 5 games and how many against Norwich we need to score to break that too?
