Watched our goal (a few times) but rewound the tape (or whatever the technical
jargon is these days) right back to the foul on Klich - we had 13 passes in
the move, most of it one touch stuff and much of it forward passing none of
this keeping the ball for the sake of it a la Reading under Stam. It also shows
how good the movement of the players is , running and making space for
themselves, ready to receive the ball and lay it off - amazing and a real joy
to watch (Klich's finish wasn't too bad either)Dave

Agree pretty much 100%, however Alioski needs a couple of games on the bench,
he's the most obvious weak point in the team ATM and would be better coming on
later on in a game with fresh legs. Maybe Klitch on the left and Forshaw in
the middle, or take a punt on Dallas starting.
One stat that was interesting is that we've scored 8 goals in the last 20
minutes of games and conceded none, that again highlights the increased fitness
of the players. I'm still not sure that we aren't going to suffer burn out
after xmas, but the way we play without some of our better players is positive.

Only saw second half (I got in and put TV on just to see their lad celebrating
his fluke, sorry wonder, goal). After that despite being a goal down, away from
home, and on the back of our first defeat, we really took the game to them and
played them off the park.
As I have said a few times I am not one for all the stats - only the score
counts- but when Sky said we had more shots last night than any other team in
the Championship this season it showed how much we battered them.
It may be a bit of a concern that they showed we had 17 shots( to Birminghams
4 and lost) and had 25 shots last night with only two goals to show for it but
we are without our two top strikers and if we keep on like this we will both
win most games and give someone a real hammering - the day when it all goes
right for us.
As you all say Bielsa is something else - the way he has the bulk of last
seasons flops playing out of their skins is amazing. Who would believe that
Phillips and Cooper to name but two could be such good footballers ? What was
TC thinking blaming Klich for one mistake and then leaving him out of the team
and getting rid for O'Kane ? He is real quality One thing MB does need to sort
out is Saiz lack of goals - he seems to be totally shot shy this season, loads
of time he will chose to pass rather than have a go. He is bringing the best
out of his general play but seems to have lost goals from his games.
So 1 point from 2 games but we could easily have won both and there is
certainly no need to panic - we have not 'been found out ' and we are not
'falling apart again' and we are not (and will not) 'burn out' - we are the
real deal this time around and will be top 6 at worst and possibly top two come
May

We might not’ve won tonight ....but I adore Marcelo Bielsa already. Every word
that comes out of his mouth. His affect on our players. The football we are
playing. ‘Kin brilliant. I’m in love.
