Sideways and backwards from the kick off. Total possession at the start, but hardly crossed the half way line. When they got the ball they ran straight at us. I know its very early days, but it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you’re right, he can only work with what he’s been given. We won’t go down but if we finish in the top half i’ll eat my hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills looks the master of backwards passing. Vera looks even more out of shape than when he arrived last season. Sefill looked sluggish. We will have to wait and see if they can improve.

Maybe LB wants possession football even if it means 38 passes inside your own half. That should bring the fans back in huge numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penrhyn Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Running out of patience now . The mythical bigger budget appears to be another lie . In 50 years I don't think I have seen a bigger cluster fck than this current set up. Cant see where our first goal is coming from let alone point .We must be favourites for relegation , and probably in the quickest time ever. We need a minimum 4 first team starters maybe 6 . Hope I am wrong but very depressing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
