All our attacking has been down the left. Where we a have a tight footed striker and a right footed left back both playing out of position. Makes no sense.
Just to stick it in there, but all the comments about Albie being so involved and seeing a lot of the ball in our good play etc. Like he's a one man show, but, isn't that the point though? Like, thats his positions remit?
He's supposed to be our 10 and main creative force of course he's gonna be involved in it, doesn't mean he's any good at it though.
And before I get hung by the CL positivity inquisition, I like the lad and think he'll come good, but saying "he's getting involved" like it's something magical when it's his one job.. ya, I dunno.
It's the whole teams job to yet involved.
Of course, but like with the Washington/ DJ comment you just said about why only one seems to be attacking, maybe thsts down to coaching instructions, "wash be more advanced, weaker down that side, DJ hold more for balance" "give the ball to Morgan to make things happen" etc?
Much like a winger, Morgan will blow hot and cold as a creative player, he's still had a pretty stop start career so far, measured opinions an 'all.
Think he'll look s lot better when Gilbey is back and we can manage his game time more personally.
So we're waiting for the end of August to bring in some premier/championship youngsters who will more likely be Smith/Levitt quality rather than a Gallagher / Cullen.
We're also waiting for Gilbey so we can put Morgan on the bench. Gilbey could be out for months. Although he is back training (I think), we don't know what effect Covid has had on him & how long it will be before he can take part in a game.
Needs must at the moment though, hurry back purrington
It shouldn't be 'needs must' though. The moment Purrington got injured we should've done everything to bring in a replacement. I mean the squad needs another left back WITH Purrington fit let alone without.
Chasing shadows in midfield. Albie gone quiet the last 10 minutes and all attacking threat we had (which was pretty minimal anyway) has gone. Clare utterly anonymous so far.
If anybody actually watching this thinks our midfield is good enough......
Think that we've brought in a couple of duds.
After 2 games...have a word...
People are allowed opinions. I hope I’m proved wrong but my opinion is that two players who have been at best average performers in mid / lower table league one teams up to now won’t be running games at the top of the division all of a sudden.
Kirk has the right hallmarks and credentials. We need to sign another 6-7 of his level.

Is that Clare ... our self-appointed box-to-box midfielder?
Honestly it's like watching us last season and that is the most disappointing thing. I'm actually bored. The football is shite.
It is basically last season’s team minus Millar who, for all people moaned about him, was the one who’s pace and dribbling gave us all our spark last season. Clare and Dobson so far have added nothing that Watson and Pratley didn’t have other than being younger.

Don't like 4-3-3 either.

I think this will be a long hard season.
That will get us a goal for sure.

On comes Watson
Does he ever touch the ball as well?
