Big Les certainly isn't our next Lavia and oh my God, Cornet is truly awful. I thought he came with a bit of a good reputation him when he joined us.

Stoke are dreadful. We should have had 10+ shots on goal that half. Instead we've had what three...four

My take exactly. Les needs too much space and is so slow. Cornett offers absolutely nothing. Sully or SAA way better.

Fernandes has been excellent,along with Bendarek, THB, and Aribo.

Need to be more direct in the 2nd half.

Not sure I agree with that.

Brereten-Diaz - 20 Premier League appearances 6 goals

Armstrong - 74 Premier League appearances 4 goals

 

I think BBD is far more likely to score goals at Prem level if we can find a way to utilise him properly.

RussBall is actually pretty effective against weaker opposition, but an absolute disaster against stronger sides.

The problem we’re facing with it in the Premier League is that there is no inferior opposition.

It's why it works so well for Man City, and probably why it would work again next season in the Championship.

Effective!!!!!! a setpiece free header and a gift of a penalty against one of the worse sides I've seen down here, fuck me our bar is low

The issue is we don't seem to get near the ball, and when we do it deflects oddly off our players - like they're not expecting to get it.

The only thing I can think of is maybe they're somehow trying to keep possession or something? Like when Aribo got caught on the edge of the box against Forest. Anyway, I've got no clue, doesn't look like the players do either. Even Spain hoof it when it's pinging around the box, just get rid FFS....

He played left side but he wasn't instructed to hug the touchline. He can also play centrally which we haven't tried yet.

If we utilise him properly, he'll score more than Armstrong.

Yeah, agreed.

I think we should play a narrow 3 of BBD, Archer and AA, and then use the full backs as the width.

In the Prem? 

You'd drop Dibling and wouldn't utilise Onuachu who has been effective since coming back in?

Wow this style of football is so bloody boring. It's all walking pace apart from when Fernandes gets it. I keep hearing Martin saying he wants to make us a team he enjoys watching - it aint working mate.

I’m glad Tommy Cannon is playing as a lone striker, if Bobby Ball were along side him they’d be a formidable pair. Rock on

Your fault I reckon, cheers.
