Happens with alarming regularity. Every single game, without fail. The biggest issue that Marti is doing very little to fix.

Oops

As others have said, he's relatively young for a first choice GK but still a solid shot stopper and actually decent in the air too (which we've been missing for a good while). He'll make mistakes - today was a particularly bad one, granted - but he can iron those out with experience. Don't think the philosophy of playing it on the ground out from the keeper suits him at all (although long kicks arent exactly his specialty either) and that's a tactical issue, so as well as Jakub doing the work to improve his focus, Marti needs to take a good look at whether this tactic is worth persisting with.

Here comes Kasey. Brace incoming

Ffs. Loss of concentration there from Stol. means we probably won’t see Evans now that there’s a bit more nervy finish. :/

i swear my feed has gone down for every goal so far

WTF Fatawu!

Nice one, ta.

He’s just a very run-of-the-mill championship player. Nothing wrong with that - it’s where we find ourselves - but given our recent history and the supposed quality of our players, it feels like a downgrade. Our supposedly better players all putting in dog-muck performances or having attitude problems really has lowered the bar, but Skipp is doing alright and I’m happy to keep seeing him in the starting XI for now. His price tag was bonkers but that’s not his fault. Hes one of the few non-youth players who I’d be happy for us to keep whilst we rebuild, tbh.

Knee injury for Soumare. Not sure on monga

A goal would do it!

Need to get through to half time and do something to pick the energy up a bit

What?

Was stonewall. It was weak as anything, but it was still a foul in the box

Jinx

Hate that kind of penalty, but hey, it went in so no complaints good start so far

Puel did the same. Was what we needed to stop some of the rot, but the football was still dire in the meantime. If Marti persists with this approach and the likes of Winks/Faes and a few others are shown the door then he may well see us through to the end of the season. But he's not exactly been inspiring so unless he turns that around, I cant see him being popular long-term.

Direct football works. Whod'v'e thought?

SKIPPY

Thomas needs to seriously speed up that move where he drags it onto his left to kick it up the pitch. He was caught at least 5 times against Sheffield Utd and he's already been caught like that today. It's so so pedestrian and easy to intercept

Thats what happens when you have runners in the box and not just a winger running up the pitch with no support. Lovely stuff from James, put on a plate for BDCR. Even Mavididi up there as well for another option.

Bobbbyyyyyyy
