Happy Birthday year John. I bet you didn’t enjoy that too much though ? I spent the best part of 3 hours driving due to train strikes to watch this shambles then sat in the East Stand facing the sun and sweating like a pig.Yes it’s early days and you have to say that despite all the upheaval we’ve been the best team in every game even against Brum where we had a severely weakened team. However, today was severely shite and we just failed to break down a team full of big lumps despite having a lot of good chances.The tactics were dodgy. We needed a striker so we bought a proven 20+ goals a season striker,, who scored on his debut and then we played him today in midfield behind Rutter? Ok, it didn’t work but why not change it during the game ? Poor management from Farke. Players playing out of position again. Shack did everything you could have expected of him as a left back but he isn’t ! Why did we not sign a left back ?I watched Ruttter closely today and he fluffed our two best chances but apart from that he likes to lack any positional sense and us balance when he runs is all over the place. He’s a real concern for me cos he’s a player with ability but one you know will never make the grade because he hasn’t got a footballing brain. The defence worries me as well. Struijk struggled in the PL but I think he’s also struggling now and Im yet to be convinced by Robon. The play from the back is laborious and reminds me of past times. Quite simply we’re not good enough to play theatre game yet. Scores Meslier- 9 kept us in it - they had a couple of really good chances Ayling - 6. Missed a sited from 5 yards with his head but battled hard and tried to make things happen second half. Shackleton- 8. Worked tirelessly with Willy all match. Just laughed at that sentence. I’m on on the Northern Monk ! Struijk - 6. Generally ok but lost out a few times. Rodon - 6. Not sure , he’s certainly no Ben White Gray - 5. I don’t think he does enough. I feel he could more and has the ability to do more. Lost possession in the middle of the park for one of their best chances. Ampadu - 6. I thought he did ok Piroe - 4. Totally lost in midfield Summerville- 5. I’m his no 1 fan but he was all over the place today and aim not sure he knew what to do Gnonto - 8. Worked his socks off, always trying to get things going but he was a bit of a 1 man attack today . Rutter - 4. Concerning performance- not a no 9, but what is he ? Subs: Price - 6. great last ditch tackle for his first touch. Didn’t look fit to me but he looks like he’s got potential Camara - looks like Dacourt. Hopefully as good. I think he touched the ball once.
Got to do bette than this and I think we will. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Saturday, September 2, 2023, 7:01 pm, N H <[email protected]> wrote: A fine innings so far, Sir. Keep it up. Cheers!
