Reliably informed by who? It's literally impossible.

That's because of the players he signed this summer though.

Good luck in getting Howe to change his system to get the best out of Woltemade.

Probably right tbh. When he drops deeper he tends to disappear or get overwhelmed by the press anyway.

Yeah well that's why I didn't use words like "not trying". I think if they are not 100% convinced in what they are trying to do, then that causes doubt and second guessing. I did think in the lead up to the first goal, Gordon just went through the motions of closing down, I noticed it right away.

Not sure who said it, think it was either @Whitley mag or @Minhosa, but the verdict was that this window probably set us back 2 years. I'm starting to think that was probably right.

I don't see why it's considered heresy to say this. Gordon looked half arsed yesterday before he went off, and the rest just looked confused. I think they all like the manager but just don't have the appetite to run relentlessly 3x a week.

Not sure I would describe him as a great player, but he has good feet. I don't see how he fits into our system at all, would need a massive overhaul of the way we play, and I don't see Howe doing it.

My worry is that we appointed him because he came with the approval of Howe. It coincided with the same time we got rid of Mitchell so kind of aligns with what went on last summer. I've changed my vote to Unhappy but willing to give him more Time in the vote options.

That's the worry for me. I have no doubt he was a good striker for Brentford.

It looks to me like he wants us to play one way...but it's the other way. (Bit of a massacre of the Marlow quote from the Wire but you get the gist).

Feels worse losing out on this one because it seemed almost accepted that the deal was done and we just forgot the contracts weren't signed.

Agree. He's a good player but not sure he's cut out for English football. At least not the way we play it.

Yeah but at least we matched them in missed chances.

We could have scored 5 with better finishing tbf.

Thought he looked much better tonight. Not in the sense of controlling the midfield, but he was everywhere, and he put a good shift in.

As bad as he's been he still looks more likely to score than Woltemade.

I'm honestly worried that the knee injury has fucked him as far as pace goes.

Feel a bit conflicted because despite a brilliant solo goal, that miss of an open goal might be more of an indictment of him as a player. At least he went at it today when he came on. More of that son.

Looks a long way from home.

Has the first touch of a non-league player. The only worrying aspect is he might still have been more effective than Woltemade.

Played well second half. Fair play lads, could have let them walk all over us but at least we showed something.

Murphy hasn't put a foot right so far.

Well that was actually a brilliant goal.

Should have been a pen but looked like Wissa just fell over in the end.
