Very worrying. But i do, at least, think we finally have some attacking threat from set pieces.
It made a welcome change at the West Ham game to see our players dominate from corners.
We were by far the more physical team. They were bouncing off Turnbull.
Steady on , that's a very sensible observation for a change !!One of the things Mowbray pointed out last season was physicality.
Are we seriously going to believe not 1 physical player was available to us? Why weren't the first players he signed big strong, league 1 players? (You could argue Rose is).
You could argue all day that our team looks weak physically, but some people won't allow you to query it.
Our team could be exciting if it comes together, but we will have outplay other sides as opposed to battling through them. Strength is our weakest asset no doubt, but hopefully we'll be good enough in other areas to counteract that.

What are you talking about Nick? Agyei is the embodiment of a physical player. Sordell is a big lad too. Page from West Ham is fairly strong. The West Brom lad is 6ft, the Newcastle signing is 6ft.
It must be the regression from that powerhouse John Fleck you're worried about.
whilst it is to be expected in league 1 that physicality is an ever present,
what i feel is lacking is that referees are not good enough at this level,
having seen 4 of the 5 league games plus the cup games imho the standard of ref's is utter shite,
Jones, for example, was hoofed, thumped, & kicked @ Swindon, the ref merely wagged his finger @ their players,
Reid also has been given excessive treatment,
& when in the Northampton game their defender launched Jones into touch, a la Lameiras v Sheff U, all the cobbler defender got was a finger wag

I think some on.here think that a young side means a small one
I understand your concern but I would rather skill over aggression everytimeI meant more the nastiness rather than the size.

Does anybody know much about Ivor Lowton; anybody seen him play ?
I have heard a few limited things but most have been along the lines of 'Agressive' and 'Warrior' I have been looking forward to seeing him.
Nick, I would also like to see some nastiness, aggression and intimidation if needed; often what's needed to get the crown going and in turn usually increase the temporary of the game.
Is he injured or recovering ?
