Weshallovercome Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 For me we need a commanding centre half before a left back, from what I've seen of Borner he's tidy, but not sure that's enough. It Iorfa ends up playing there I'll be a nervous wreck by xmas. Please come back Hector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Odubajo has a lot to offer but he is nowhere near as good as Liam Palmer at right back, not even close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not start this again It's called mixing it up. You can go too far down the route of doing the same old and being predictable. Bannan is quite predictable when you watch him enough.

That is not Palmers fault. It is because the reason he wasn’t used for the overlap is because his team mates don’t trust him to deliver a good ball into the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im enjoying being right when I correctly predict it’s going to be another great Bannan delivery Either from dead ball or from a passage in play, Bannan will often hit the right area, sometimes a killer pass to head or foot and I grant you that we can't really do without that with what else we have in our team right now. I'm just confident we over utilise him that's all, and because of that he is often targeted and nullified. A couple more on the pitch with a good pass on them, and vision to use that pass is not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressing The team looked really fit and really pressed from the front to try and win the ball as close to goal as possible. This is a refreshing positive change from the slower tempo of Carlos and Jos. 2. Bullen really doesn’t rate Van Aaken When Borner went off he had two defenders on the bench to choose from and picked they guy who is suspended for the next two matches rather than give game time to the guy who might actually be needed in the next fortnight. 3. We need a left back The team symmetry looked really good today. A left right combo in centre mid and guys cutting in from each flank. Would be good if we had a proper left back bombing into the space vacated by the LW cutting in (Joao today) who could then cross first time without having to come back onto his right food. 4. Top teams can finish We dominated the game for the most part but when the ball fell to Espanyol in half decent positions they were able to pick the perfect spot where Westwood couldn’t save it. That was La Liga quality. I’d say nearly all Championship clubs would not be able to do that. Play like that against Reading next week and we win. 5. Joao still isn’t a winger Got to be Harris for that spot. 1. True. It helped us even more when they insisted on playing the ball out within their own area under the new rule. 2. Agree. A sympathy sub. 3. The weakest position in the side. Palmer does well but is a square peg there. 4. Can't decide if Rhodes' header was a bad miss or a good save. Would Fletch have scored it I wonder? 5. Joao shouldn't start anywhere. Has skill but lazy. Harris stays fit, position is his all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shezza Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Don’ think Bullen will take a chance with youngsters like Penney at this time if he’s after the manager job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdial Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Centre back is a worry if lees or Borner pick up suspensions or an injury. Iorfa is nowhere near good enough to play there. Doesn’t have the football brain or positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left gaping holes behind, kept losing the ball by overplaying and was responsible directly for their 2nd goal by not clearing it into row Z. On that showing I reckon Reading will target our right side.... Maybe he was nervous but he was a bit headless chicken. Iorfa far more solid... I'd actually go Palmer RB and Fox LB for Reading....
