Thankfully we now have Kirk to take Millar's role......and hopefully a better replacement.Exiled_Addick said:
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.Chunes said:Honestly it's like watching us last season and that is the most disappointing thing. I'm actually bored. The football is shite.
Sadly that's where the upgrades end. The midfield duo brought in aren't any better than Shinnie and we havent replaced Aneke.
Last season we managed 7th. Can't see how we are going to improve on that.4 -
He’s certainly nowhere near any Oxford playersAthletico Charlton said:Watson should be no where near a L1 team7 -
We look all over the place. I know it’s only been two games but Sean Clare looks a really poor player1

Aneke, Miller, Maatsen, JFC, Gilbey, that's actually quite a chunk of our goalscoring threat or creativity, especially when we also had Shinnie on the bench for creativityExiled_Addick said:

Surely having Kirk on the bench at least was an option? You don’t need any training session to appreciate we need a goal and how to go about it?
after all, the starting eleven have had several but you wouldn’t know it!1 -

We're just lumping it over the top, now the negative lot will say it's because their teammates don't want to pass to them.Exiled_Addick said:This is dreadful. Our midfield might as well not be playing.
The positive lot will say it's why they seem anonymous.
The truth is likely in-between. We're being dominated in midfield and we need to get the ball to the forwards0 - Sponsored links:

I’m typically not this type of supporter but it would not surprise me if Adkins doesn’t last the season.1

Third game in a row we don't look like scoring from open play3

Supposedly he said he wanted to play today in any case.Chunes said:

Oh great! Now we’ve got to read 500 posts on the rumours thread this week about why haven’t we signed him!ross1 said:Jephcott scores3 -
Goooaaalllllllll...... oh.... we haven't signed him yetgolfaddick said:Jephcott scored.6 -
Great 2-2, oh not our player!!!, who gives a fuck!!!golfaddick said:Jephcott scored.3 -
We need to rebuild from what we have now, the rebuild hasn't started yet. So many weak links.1

I would... Sandgaard sounds the stubborn type when it comes to Management, dont think he was ever getting rid of Bowyer like the fans wanted until Birmingham came inThe Red Robin said:I’m typically not this type of supporter but it would not surprise me if Adkins doesn’t last the season.1 -

Sure he did. I'd say that too if I was giving him the game off for compassionate purposes.golfaddick said:

Me too, I wonder if Sandgaard agrees ?CL_Phantom said:charltonbob said:
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.CL_Phantom said:Dazzler21 said:
It's the whole teams job to yet involved.CL_Phantom said: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.
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.
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.
I think this will be a long hard season.
Hope not, I'm very much in the "sign a creative CM/AM camp.
Considering Watson isn't supposed to even be on the bench (like Pearce) see the midfield trio as
Dobson
Gilbey
Other
Clare, Morgan bench.0 -

Can't remember a midfield more bereft of ability than this lot. Watson is a fucking sham3
