CircleSeven Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Nothing is missing. We are at the start of a journey. The start has gone better than could have reasonably been expected but this is literally the earliest of early days! I’m just going to enjoy the journey with all the peaks and troughs. I don’t have any problem with anyone else looking for negatives and problems that don’t exist. Fill your boots. But after the Derby game I was dreading this season. I had started to believe the doomsday scenario that it was all over and the club was going to cease to exist. But now we are rebuilding. And I’m going to enjoy it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you only get that from time together on the training ground. It'll come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Johnson just isn’t up to it. He may prove useful at left back as cover. As an attacker he is a waste of a shirt. Dunkley absolutely frightening at centre back. IMO these are the the only concrete things we have learned. Everything else is still finding it’s way You’ve learnt that in three games where Johnstone hasn’t even played 2 full games and dunkley has played about 20 minutes Christ on a bike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Several players arrived in the last 14 days. Several players without a full pre season training. A couple recovering from long term injury. A couple of wide players not available. Relax, there’s enough quality in this squad to grind out results when only playing well in patches. The first 30 minutes last night was a sign of what’s to come. I honestly believe it will take another half dozen games before we see a settled team and performance level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the likes of Sow and Corbeanu will do so, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakefieldowl Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 For the first 25 minutes we dominated midfield. Then we lost that vital battle for the rdmainder of the game. Us controlling midfield us crucial to the way we play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 What it's missing is a natural born leader on the pitch. Two people stand out as being that person - Dunkley or Iorfa, but they have been bit part so far in their career here and Bannan is the main man. Bannan leads by example - he shows by how he does, not how he talks, he does not lead by being a big voice. I'm sorry but we need someone to take this squad by the scruff of the neck. Bannan is a great player, but I think even he needs a true captain in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's give and take between the crowd and what is on display on the pitch. What was on display on the pitch was lackluster for almost all the game, apart from patches and the first 20 minutes. Wednesday were second best to almost everything, against a side we've never played before - for a reason! Those opening 20 minutes should have set the scene for the whole game, yet they didn't. Quality did not count and we were lucky to see the game out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirstys_achilles Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 First 20 minutes we played as DM set the team up to play. Hutch getting injured and the general fitness and match sharpness all contributed to the "missing link" look. Fact is this is wonderful to only be concerned about a small issue considering the complete change in players in such a short time. When everyone is fit and the best players rise to the top and are getting regular game time the future this season is looking incredibly bright. Its far to early to be suggesting who is not good enough. After 3 games in the league the things that I think are obvious is our defence is going to be a 4 and if we keep key players like Iorfa fit we not going to give many goals away. We have a squad of younger more athletic players than we have had in a long time. We have sufficient quality players for cover in most positions and for most tactical changes. This is wednesday we talking about so nothing is ever straight forward. Such a much better start than I ever imagined. I thought before the season kicked off that Nov / Dec would be when we might seeing some decent results. Because the team is naturally quite balanced with all of DMs additions we got results much sooner than newly put together squads normally produce. The answer to the post is definitely time. We have better players to come in to the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
