Palmer the only player that looked capable of unlocking them. When he went off we had nothing. We could be a very good team but we need a bit of a spark.

We did to be fair. I actually thought Ayari looked good, but maybe more of a Hamer type than a 10.

I actually thought Ayari looked very lively. Nice 1 touch stuff and created that golden chance for Wright.
We are showing promising signs. When it all clicks we will be very very good.

I'd like us to be just a touch more direct/quicker.

Aside from today we’ve created more clear cut chances on average than last season.

We’re creating enough, stats wise I’m sure we’re having plenty of shots every game, just can’t put them away atm

We’re not quick enough. What we’ve lost are Vik being able to chase down sub par balls and Gus being able to play driven long passes out to the wings. So play goes through three or four passes instead of one or two.

Wright scores from ayari pass or Simms from Palmer and this thread doesn't get made


We have to be patient and trust the process. More training sessions sand games and it will click hopefully

I don’t think this is really a surprise, we have lost two players who excelled at this and they’re very hard to replace. But generally I have never been a fan of slow tempo football, just letting the opposition get set and in place. For it to work you need brilliant technical players across the pitch, too.

The league is significantly better than last season it seems. Hence why ourselves, Middlesbrough and Sunderland don't seem to be quite at the level yet.

Agreed-look at Luton and us (to a less direct degree) last season.

We're ahead of where we were last season, so reasons to be positive. We've had a pretty tough start too (on paper).

I think maybe that's more what it is. It's the pace & energy. Palmer gives you a bit of energy.

I can’t actually recall if he’s ever done 90mins in a game for us?

And Ayari he played two lovely weighted balls in behind the defence. He needs to work harder out of possession and learn how to find pockets of space more often. But was impressed with what I saw today, there is a good player in there.

Think there's clearly a bit of a fitness issue there. Thought he was good today though.

Yeah, think creativity was maybe the wrong thing. Maybe it was more energy. Think that's something that both Hamer and Gyökeres gave us plenty of.

Good signs though in general throughout the team. Think we'll win more than we lose. Couple more to come in yet too.

He ran out of steam in that game though. Think it was maybe a touch late. He does work hard though.

Fair enough. I just have this image in my head he always comes off in a game.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was his natural position. I'd maybe have bought him on for Eccles who looked shattered. Sakamoto for Palmer

Eccles played really well today, but that's who I thought he'd come on for (with Sakamoto for Palmer at some point).

Certain positions require high energy levels. AM and the WB's.arevthecobvious ones. Teams often sub these positions to keep the energy levels up. It can be a reflection on the tactics rather than the players.

It's great that when O'Hare comes back we aren't going to need him to play 90 minutes in every single game.

I think OHare will need some careful management. It is tough psychologically coming back from such a long layoff. He isn't necessarily going to just hit the ground running.

The team that relied on a departed striker to make 80% of their chances last season isn’t making chances?

I’m stunned.

Yep. Will need building up with 5 to 10 minute cameo's.

Didn’t look like he had run out of steam when taken off today though
