The thing that frustrated me about Farke yesterday was his refusal to make any
attacking subs, on what was clearly quite a warm afternoon when we were having
trouble breaking down their defence. We had Poveda, Joseph and Gelhardt on the
bench. Surely a couple of them should have come on halfway through the second
half to give Wednesday's defenders something different to think about?
Cheers!

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.
