Agree with this entirely. That's what we would probably do as well. It's a limitation of the loan system. I think we should be loaning to clubs a division lower than ideal. So send a Champ quality player to league 1I think teams who loan our players are cottoning on to the fact we require them to develop them above their own players.
I saw Ayari in a few Blackburn games and thought he looked pretty good. They were reluctant to play him or Moran that much because they were understandably prioritising their own. I think it was the same with Sarmiento at Ipswich. He looked amazing when he came on as a sub but they wanted their own boys to be the starters in the team.
We need to be very careful with our loans this season which is why many of them could be last minute when we can assess squads and see a clear path to minutes.
Think it's quite clear that he's new to this throw-in malarkeySome good early high pressing. WTF is Baleba doing at left back? Put us in trouble twice with poor throws.
Hopefully should improve if Barco comes on.We've pressed well, had good possession and created chances good enough to score. Minteh looks quick and physical but has failed to sort his feet out. Baleba not bad as emergency LWB, terrible backwards throws apart. Ayari looks really good but he's used to Championship opposition. We'll get a better idea if he plays next week. People gave Gross grief about his set pieces but we definitely miss his delivery. Set piece movement good, set piece execution not so great.
Not in the squad, got a knock.Hopefully should improve if Barco comes on.
I don’t think it’s controversial to say everything needs refinement at this stage of pre-season, under a new manager.Set pieces still need refinement. Especially corners.
He looks a bit absent todayBarco seems pretty decent with corners when playing...
That's a gentle way of saying his first touch is a bit heavy...Baleba's second touch is often a tackle. Luckily he normally wins them.
so you agree with meI don’t think it’s controversial to say everything needs refinement at this stage of pre-season, under a new manager.
Behave! He only just got herei was being polite...we have been dire for quite some time...surely we should be seeing some improvement under a new regime.. Seems to be worse then ever.
