A bright start but ended up being panic central as we predictably went ultra defensive.A lot more composure and ambition is needed. Izquierdo is making things happen and Dunks having a great game.
He was also reported as being a target in the summer before moving to Betis. He's mobile with good vision and has competed well against the bigger Spanish sides.
I'm certain it will be a 4-6-0 approach with Brown in for Hemed and only looking to break out when we intercept in promising positions. Brown coming in should suit this style as he's confident competing for the ball on the half turn and has the pace to get us up the pitch.
Disagree. He done well with the scraps throughout and got us up the pitch frequently enough despite poor service. That said, set up like today and we need he threat of pace up top to make it work which is no fault of Tomers.
I'm sure people on all sides gave there best efforts but what concerned me all summer was the complacency in our efforts to get deals done and move players on. Our strategy, urgency and attitude was way off. As Manager and CEO the blame sits with Hughton and Barber. There are no excuses to be...
No way of dressing it up, we've blown a big chance of establishing the club at this level. Big changes needed on recruitment. I've said all summer that we seemed to be repeating the complacent approach from Burkes era but this is a new low.
