Hmmm I know he hardly set the place alight but surely you just give Alves 90 minutes tonight? 

It’s not going to be great for his development or confidence. I also think the comment someone made earlier about Paige being courted with a new contract just might be factor?

The thing is, and I don’t know how many times it needs to be said, faes is not shite. 
 

He has bad concentration but he has far more talent than any other defender in the championship and I truly believe that.  But the problem is that sometimes you don’t need to be talented you just need to smash it clear and that’s where he makes his mistakes.  Because he can, doesn’t mean he should and if he was actually a little less talented, he’d probably be a better defender as he’s do the basics more frequently. That’s my take anyway 

Yep, he’s a class above whether we like to admit it or not.

How is Alves supposed to make any impact when there's nothing behind him

[Noahfence]

Some start to the second half this. Why can none of them pass?

But probably correct.  He's been largely anonymous and we need to link the mid to the attack.  Page played a bit deeper in preseason than Alves has done today.  Maybe it's to link things up.  

I can't see it making much difference when the 2 behind him aren't going to be playing it forward

Alves, which seems harsh 

Why is it harsh? Stats don't lie. He lost 6 duels, 2 times he was caught looking.

Maybe he felt hooking Skipp at half time twice in a row would be too harsh but it's what needs to happen. Nothing personal, the guy is dreadful and a big (though not the only) reason why we're struggling to work the ball up the pitch

 

I don't think we will see him playing again

[Kp1984]

Simple passing at the back is a struggle 

[Phube]

Maybe Guy Branston had a point

For a long time now, we hate being rushed/pressed, it is infuriating.

I know but I'm saying no one has said you can't criticise them?

Just because people don’t directly say something doesn’t mean it isn’t implied in what is being said. Again, it’s not aimed specifically at the original post I responded too. But in general people do imply such thing even if it’s not directly said.

And Soumare and Skipp did what? Having also contributed nothing at the weekend

Keeper

We look poopy at the moment 

 

I also still can't work out what Skipps offers apart from headless chicken running

Monga

I'd normally be a bit more patient early into a season but that's because early into a season you usually have new signings who are bedding in. We already know this lot and they still look complete tripe.
