Socialist_Owl Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm really getting tired of Nuhiu being our first choice off the bench. It's a tacit admission that we're just going neanderthal with the gameplan from that point on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady, but the midfield certainly looked better for his inclusion. Mate, I don't dislike him as a signing, with Lopez leaving, we were short on numbers. He will be a useful addition to the squad once he settles in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Just judging by the highlights we should have been out of sight. Lucky goal for them. Edited August 27, 2016 by SallyCinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiswickowl Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm glad everyone has calmed down a bit, the match day thread was embarrassing when they scored. CC out! Disaster! Season over! Bruce in! We played well today, particularly first half and with a bit more luck would have gone in at least one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 13 hours ago, gurujuan said: We were much better today, and better without Abdi in the starting line up. Not sure you could say we were back to our best, and if we were, why didn't we beat Brentford. No, we were much better, but still plenty of work to be done, in my opinion Abdi is a very good CM getting some stick playing wide left. Bannan is a very good CM getting some stick playing wide right. Theme emerging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very good player, no doubt, but will he be able to play as part of a central two, I have my doubts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Back to our best? No. Much improved? Yes. Abdi had his best 15 mins for us. Jones was moving the ball well. Kept us moving better than recent games. Parmer offered width lacking so far this season. He was hugging the line, well up field. Exactly what Wallace/Hunt haven't been doing. Jones pinged some excellent 30/40 yard passes straight to him. Palmer played well, linked well with Bannan and Lee to create most of our better chances in first half. FF was better. Showed some of that Rottweiler tackling back again. Was a bit selfish in shooting when (from the far end) it seemed a simple pass to Joao was on, but he probably feels that he needs a goal. The other forwards, all four, worked their socks off, but all the decent chances fell to Joao. Some difficult choices for Carlos in next two games. i think we might see Abdi and Hutch in CM (if Loovens is fit). With Lee and Bannan taking wide-ish roles. True width from Palmer and Pudil.

striker Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Looks like we were unlucky from the highlights. Created plenty again but for poor finishing and good defending could have won comfortably. I dont think we will be at our best however until we stop playing players out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
