HawK

Who we wanted : Who we got :

Tbf you can't make many assists when your eyes are glued to the spot of ground 12 inches in front of your left foot

Murphy just needs to keep playing to his strengths and never try to get involved in receiving a short pass from inside his own half. Fantastic ball striking, decisions, very direct and full of confidence when he's got space. Not very good at shielding a ball, controlling a pass or retaining possession. When we can get him on the ball in space he's very effective. I like him as a player. Livra enables him really. Trips behind him doesn't work because Trips wants to quarterback everything and call the plays and Murphy just wants to do his thing and spot the gaps.

Personally I want to buy a ST but can't so whatever helps me do that first and foremost I'd vote for

Ole Gunnar Barnes

Loved Dyer when he was fit for us

Come off it

We can't play ourselves from the first half unfortunately

Can count on one hand how many times I've seen Miley caught out in possession in all the games I've seen him play.

Probably not wise to have players out there playing full 90s that haven't built up match fitness yet, increased chance of tweaks and cramps and whatnot.

Aye he needs some experience, was a poor decision

Gonna attack them inside and out like a washer dryer combo

I think he just needs to work on trying to get involved more, gotta come deep and collect and make spaces for your teammates to run into. Against a low block there's almost no value to be had in hanging off the shoulder of the central defenders.

Great wing play from Gordon there

Fk me he's been watching Isak, that's an Isak strike if I've ever seen one. Wraps his foot around it and places it perfectly

So pleased for him

OSULA YES

Osula's gotta learn to start coming deeper to get on the ball and pull the defenders with him to make spaces

Good corner routine that for once.

It's on . . .

In traditional knee-jerk, hyperbolic match-thread style, I second your suggestion.

You know those dreams where you're playing at St James' and you're running like treacle?

I don't think Miley's done anything wrong, lovely goal too
