Just need a focal point in attack and most desire to get the ball in the box.

 

Too much running forward with the ball, getting stuck, then running backwards, then repeating this. 
 

What I would do for a cross into the box for a big number 9 to head home 😩😩

 

That's been us for years.  Its withering

I’m sorry Okoli is not a ball playing CB

[UniFox21]

Why has he stopped the game for that 

[Vacamion]

 

Okoli went to control the ball and controlled the other guy's ankle.

The only thing false that BDCR is, is a football player. Absolutely washed. It worries me with some of the older players, they are just here for a pay day.

Good cross from Thomas

 

A good striker probably gets on that

[Tommy Fresh]

I reckon Reid should of buried that

Even Cooper realised at the Arsenal away game. Two years ago and he hasn’t improved.

What a cross from Thomas.

[Shane]

[The Doctor]

what was the point of signing Cullen? He's not done one thing right in any of his appearances thus far

He’s far better with the ball at his feet than he is given credit for. 

[Fazzer 7]

According to Flashscore we've had 81% possession.  But only  3 goal scoring chances. The same as Northampton. 

[adejo92]

As bad as this is, I think with the addition of a striker,  and with Chaplin and Burns, we'll look much better.

[Piggyp]

This the team that’s going to piss the league ???

[moore_94]

Hurry up and get Watson on

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

So it’s very early days and so on, but we look nothing like the Russell Martin Southampton side. We look every bit like the Leicester side since Enzo.

[Cincinnati Fox]

Skipp really should look a cut above at this level but Thomas esc seem to look just a poor at each level 

[FoxesWalk]

Might as well just play Thomas at left wing, given his difficulties defending but actually very good delivery. Not like Mav is up to much.

Agreed that you can sort of see that we have more quality.

 

These are quite poor however. 
 

 

[Tielemans63]

I'm sorry, but I absolutely despise Mavididi. 

[Gamble92]

"Mavididi's decision making today has really let him down"

 

What like his decision to get on the pitch?

[The Doctor]

Mavididi being a former premier league player gives you hope you can still make it as a professional footballer tbh

[Cincinnati Fox]

Cullen looks weak as piss
