Nothing wrong with Gillesphy tonight considering he was restricted with the booking early in the game , again defensively we were pretty solid , Small Kanu and Anderson were poor tonight
We won't be playing with a 10 in this system, Coventry holds and dictates and the two ahead of him are just runners and to win the loose ball and overload a side or the box don't see us bringing a more creative player in unless they also run their nuts off, and they don't always go hand in hand in players at this level
Early on some signs of an attacking passing threat on the left. So I think the players do have a passing game in them. My problem with the pressing approach is it seems to be based on the opposition making mistakes rather than our players creating opportunities.
Maybe the hope is that the passing game will develop over time but the initial focus is on the press. I am struggling to see where the goals are going to come from.
We need a Jonny Williams type of player, not necessarily starts by comes on and runs at a tiring team. Not sure who ticks that box and who is available.
Goalkeeper I would like to see someone come in to challenge Mannion.
Potts to come in to challenge Gillesphy, I don't think he is that bad but needs a backup.
Sonny Bradley would be decent too if he becomes available.
Understandable that mostly we were on the back foot at Wigan and didn’t look fluid going forward and last evening we were up against probably a club that’s at least guaranteed a top four finish. Hard to make serious judgement. Orient is different. Another blow out in attacking and I think all the negative vibes (including me) about where are the goals coming from will be valid. Saturday evening we’ll have a far clearer picture.

Johnny Williams? We have had a lot better to use as an example
Hoping this will give us a kick up the backside to put in a shift on Saturday, the players that is, not the fans.
i think they put a shift in last night - just there was an enormous lack of quality and attacking threat
Once Birmingham scored they looked comfortable, apart from balls dropping over their centre of their defence, however they didn't tear us apart and we competed, it may have been very different if that penalty had gone in.

I mean think of the playoff final. Changed the game.

For those at home, could Mannion have done better for the goal?
Theoretically a goal keeper can save every attempt on goal IF he is fortunately standing in the correct position to do so....however that's impossible in many instances, last night that was clearly the case.....can't think of any keeper who'd have got to that.

I think you'll be right on that Callum but I really hope there's something extra on top of those.
95% confident that Jones has no interest in bringing in another central midfielder. If we do they’ll be a Coventry/Taylor type should TT be moved on.

They should be fit and raring to go this early in the season
