S Thats why we signed Aribo - he plays everwhere 😆 (but yes we need a bit more quality up top to make us really competitive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does a starting XI in the 1st pre-season game show that? Especially as the team is a mix of first choice players and none first choice players... plus a few players are unavailable for selection. Sure we lack numbers and quality upfront and in attacking midfield. But the squad and first XI isn't weak in some other areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusHyd Posted 16 July, 2022 Share Posted 16 July, 2022 Romeo has looked solid at DM; happy to pick the ball up in relatively tight spaces, moves it on quickly and seems accurate with his passing. I’d like to see Aribo run with the ball a bit more and come deeper to pick it up but early days in a preseason friendly. Can’t expect too much! And a cracking save by our hopefully new number 1, already fills me with more confidence. Djenepo still looks poor to me but might be my bias against him now!

The Kraken Posted 16 July, 2022 Share Posted 16 July, 2022 At half time….. Bazunu looks good. Made a good save and looks very composed with the ball at his feet. Ketchup looks like he’s learning to play in a 3, not much to do though had one poor underhit backpass. Bednarek caught napping after 1 minute and booked, otherwise ok. Salisu solid. kWP, you know what you’ll get. Djnepo, lots of space and sight of the ball but overall his standard self. Similar with Elmo. Lavia mostly tidy, seems to have a tendency to take risks with a flick or a bit of skill but I like the look of him. Not impressed with Joe Aribo yet, doesn’t look sharp and really didn’t get into the game. As for Tella, still really not sure what he is, but it’s not a striker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted 16 July, 2022 Share Posted 16 July, 2022 Early signs from Bazunu look good. Impressive save early on and commanded his box well. Also looked composed on the ball when pressed. Lavia looks a little raw but not scared to have the ball in dangerous areas and tenacious when looking to regain possession. Aribo has been very quiet, not really noticed him much during that first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coalman Posted 16 July, 2022 Share Posted 16 July, 2022 Maybe there's a £50m defender inside Bednarek. It's just he gets ruthlessly punished for any slip by his own keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
