William 1867 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 It seems that Monk hasn’t learned anything from last season on the first half performance. We have no Fletch or Big Dave and we persist in 50 yard long balls into the box. Very worrying. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If we go into the season with Rhodes and Reach up front it's all over before it begins. We desperately need at least three new strikers ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante's Bubbly Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 2 minutes ago, Jim said: We haven’t got the players to play this system. Our wing-back options are sh!t. Rhodes and Reach are just a waste of a shirt. Van Aken is as f***ing sh!t as he’s ever been. Neither Iorfa or Lees are comfortable in a back 3. Only Brown, Bannan and Luongo have looked anywhere near sharp enough. I know it’s only pre-season but the same old problems remain.

I had big hopes for the lad when he came but he hasn’t improved no wonder we have made him available Mark Albrighton and Jamie Vardy have got past him like three times, therefore he isn't good enough? I'm sceptical of him, but I'm going to give him more than 45 minutes against that lot to see what he can and can't do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes Palmer, Reach and Harris just need to get a first time cross in. People dis Rhodes but he's nothing delivered in the box quick from open play. Harris in particular. It's so strange that we only ever play him on the side of his weaker foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’ve seen of him is a few sideways and forward balls into midfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get in the box, he is totally lost out of his depth. Loses the simple ball, weak ineffective passes, fails to make the tackle. I wouldn't even consider him for the next game. Reach has made himself available working to get the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Thought that was a decent half to be honest. The mid three looks good. Harris ok, Don’t think that will be our starting back three. We know Palmer can’t play rwb. So we still need a couple of strikers, a rib and even though Dawson has does well I would still like a more experienced keeper in. But overall against good opposition that was enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Thought we were in for a proper hammering in the first ten minutes. They were carving us open and could’ve scored twice. We settled down after that though and should’ve scored at least one ourselves. Similar story to last season really, we have no cutting edge up front and don’t take our chances so it’s game over as soon as the opposites score. I like the look of Izzy Brown though — he’s a proper unit and looks good on the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
