That’s no really their game, they have a lot of possession for a side that doesn’t really score goals.Sure, just against teams who adopted similar tactics (thinking Oxford, Swansea, Bristol C) we struggled to score. MR will undoubtedly set them up for the 0-0 and I think generally we do better against teams who try to take us on.
Perhaps, but Bristol had a very clear gameplan to hit on the break and with better up front than Armstrong it would have come off.
Need to play at a higher tempo to pull apart these low blocks.
But as Brighton said, it’s our shape, it’s so much better with him in the team.
You forgot to call him a Premier league failureI thought our shape against Oxford was good tbh. I can see this is going to be like Jamie Allen all over again so I’ll leave it, but not sure a midfielder who makes five successful passes in a game is someone who has changed the fortunes of a side single-handedly.

Our shape at home has been good all season, hence we've only dropped 6 points.
I can't understand why people keep making comparisons between our home form and our away form from mid November onwards, there's never been an issue with our home form.
And Oxford didn't exactly show a lot of intent with regard to crossing the halfway line.
No but you could tell we’d changed how we set up

But it was still at home against a team with little attacking intent. It really doesn't prove much.
He won 5 fouls, made 2 blocks, 2 interceptions and 5 recoveries against Boro.Lots of people have said that. I’ve been pretty whelmed with him. The view from that Brentford fan seems spot on from what I’ve seen so far. He’s made two or three good tackles, a nice dive to break up play last night, been an absolute bomb scare on the ball. But he’s starting and it’s working so I won’t complain too hard.

Well it proves that we’d already changed things before he came into the side. Which is what we’re discussing.
He wants him to be a bad signing and I can't understand why tbh. I think he's been great, we don't have anything like him.He won 5 fouls, made 2 blocks, 2 interceptions and 5 recoveries against Boro.
"2 or 3 Good tackles" is completely underselling him.
I've never known someone on here be so wrong, so often and still double down on it.He wants him to be a bad signing and I can't understand why tbh. I think he's been great, we don't have anything like him.

Well he quite literally has been a game changer. You're the only one refusing to see it.Grow up, obviously I don’t want us to make bad signings. I just don’t think he’s been this levels above game changer people are making out and last night I though he was pretty crap.
Since he's been here we have won every game. He's not a game changer though.Well he quite literally has been a game changer. You're the only one refusing to see it.

I don't know what that means but you seem to always need a target atm and its usually someone you'd made your mind up on beforehand so I'll leave you to it.Oh no will the cool girls not let me sit at their table if I’m not wearing pink?
He was rated the lowest of our starters by fotmob and who scored last night. I guess they’re just not in the club either.

love dragging up some of these childish tantrumsWright 2 in 17 starts. Apparently he is brilliant

He was telling us he wouldnt be good and a Premier league failure before signing. He has too much ego and pride to admit he was wrong.You kind of get the feeling that you made your bed with onyeka before he signed ..
I give you he wasnt great last night but he was very good in the previous 2

Can we afford rest him at home to Stoke? I kind of feel like we can. There are good options.None of the midfield were great last night, especially in the first half. I also thought he looked knackered which played a big part in him perhaps not having the best game.
I think theres a case for Eccles filling that place.Can we afford rest him at home to Stoke? I kind of feel like we can. There are good options.
Been really quite impressive recently i think. He's gone up a level imo.I think theres a case for Eccles filling that place.
The same with Lampard, Haji and probably a list of other things I’ve not cared to remember. @shmmeee makes quick judgements and then forced into U-turns months later, this is no different.You kind of get the feeling that you made your bed with onyeka before he signed ..

Also in that first half we got in behind them more than once, just couldn’t quite capitalise. We have ‘done a Hull’ xG wise but I actually think we looked a lot more difficult to break down.
Giving the ball away close to goal however and there’s not much Onyeka can do about it.
Didn't their defender get there before Wright? If so I doubt it counts, he'd have to actually have the effort for it to count I think.Don't know what the xG stats were last night, but surely Wright failing to score from right in front of the goal last night was the clearest goal scoring opportunity that wasn't taken?
