'quicker and crisper'
Thats the big difference IMHO.

Then maybe just the type of passing has been more dangerous? Seems a lot less
sideways and backwards and more offensive. Also the passing seems quicker and
crisper, moving the ball faster (which to me would probably be harder to do so
if they are as accurate that would be an improvement). Or maybe it has all gone
to my head! Nick On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, 3:33:21 PM EDT, Nigel Sykes

show that our pass accuracy over the past several years is pretty stable at
around 74%. Our average in the first two games was 73.6%, so basically the
same. No stats for last night, but I suspect it would be slightly less, if
anything. For comparison, the better Premier League teams generally run well
into the 80’s. I suspect that Bielsa will want us to at least improve on
previous seasons. Nigel (the Dublin one) From: Nicholas Armit

much but from the first two games I thought our passing has been excellent. Way
ahead of previous years. On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, 5:49:21 AM EDT, Nigel

in the first half, though without quite as much 'zip' as in the previous 2
games. In the 2nd half though, the 'zip' had gone and I commented that it was
much more like watching us last season. It was a pretty even 2nd half and
could have easily ended in penalties. Apart from the lower energy of the
B-team, the biggest problem this season is passing. We got away with the
passes to the opposition in the first two games because we hustled so much to
get the ball back. But last night the passing was even worse and the hustle
wasn't enough to balance it out. Nigel (the Dublin one) -----Original

Subject: [LU] Bolton - a few thoughts Interesting game. We made 8 changes so
big chance for the B-team. We started like we have done in all the games and
for 35 minutes I thought we looked good with Pearce and Shackleton doing well
as wing backs. But then I thought we ran out of steam and maybe that's the
difference in fitness levels and skills between the B-Team and the first 11 ? I
thought we returned to some of the aimless square and backward balls at the
back that we have seen under previous managers. The gap between defence and
midfield got wider and as a result we became less effective. Bolton then began
to cause a threat and in the end they could have got a result and you have to
remember they made 9 changes too ! So in the end I was happy with the result
but it made me think that maybe some of our squad players are not going to be
able to support a promotion push this season. Blackman - 7. one bad spill which
should have been a goal for them. Shackleton - 7. I like the look of this lad.
Ok, he lost possession a few times and looked at times like he was struggling
but you can see he's got quality. Pearce - 6. He's a bit more pedestrian than
Shackleton and definitely second choice to Douglas this season. Did well coming
forward at times. Jansson - 7. Looked a tad rusy, few dodgy balls but second
half showed his strength and experience in a few one to ones. Certainly didn't
do enough though to convince the manager he should be playing instead of Cooper
and Beradi and I never thought I would say that. Ayling - 8. The ever
dependable Ayling. Phillips - 8. To be fair, he looked the most comfortable and
effective in his role which is suiting him down to the ground. Saiz - 8. I
thought he was playing at 75% but still looked a class above and scored a great
goal. Harrison - 7. Tricky little player and he covered some ground. I think
he'll be pushing Allioski for that left sided position soon. Baker - 6. I
thought he was a weak link. One or two good forward runs but not as solid as
Kiltch. Bamford - 6. Scored a good goal and looks like he's got a nice left
foot but he should have had a hat-trick. Bit of a dilemma here because I think
he needs games but it looks like he'll be stuck on the bench for a while. 3
games, 3 wins so all good but I think there's a few concerns.
