Foley and Crofts are younger versions of Jackson. Konsa plays like Gomez and looks a real talent. Johnson and Slade swearing at each other. Slade is cutting an angry and frustrated figure and seems to have developed a Tourette's like twitch. Has liked nothing we have done so far.
Harriott looking ok as does Holmes when he has the ball and is running at them.
Ajose hardly a sniff against top quality Championship centre backs.
All our subs are academy plus Ba.
We certainly need those 5 or 6 new players at least.
Defence looks ok , nothing to shout about... Midfield looks almost pedestrian and had zilch creativity to excite or prose any threat! Attack ... What attack? Hardly anything going forward , we struggled to score goals last season and I think this season could be worse!
Tactics don't seem too clear, nothing to suggest we're going for counter attacking etc! Have a few finesse players who have a tricks but they're going to get kicked about for fun!

I've thought that too, given his ability on the ball, but haven't seen enough of him to know how good he is at defending.
That said, let's all agree to talk him down until at least 1 September lest Burnley come sniffing.
It is big nights like tonight, packed into the valley all the hustle bustle of the crowd, trying to get to the bar for a shandy or three, moaning at the youngsters who can't find a seat, so have decided to stand on the stairs, elbowing me in all the excitement of the drama unfolding under the floodlights. Never knowing at what moment the ball will go in the back of the net so we can all go mental!
Yes life doesn't get better than being a football fan under the duchatelet regime!
Thanks Roland you truly are a god of this fine sport!

The worry though, is that we're being forced to play long to Nicky Ajose against Christoph Berra.
