This guy seemingly has the motivation and drive to succeed. Hopefully he also has the raw talent. |

Can't argue with any of that, sums it up brilliantly. Except Andersen was even worse than you painted him, from my memory. I agree with the poster who likened him to SWP's efforts 'supporting' Furlong against Bolasie. Disgraceful. This guy's played Champions League football. He's played for Ajax. He's played for Denmark. But I could have looked more arsed playing on Saturday than he did. Of course it might just be that I was focusing on him like you were, Clive, on Madsen.
Probably best to squint out of the corner of our eyes at this lot at the moment.
Most of them aren't worthy of your brilliant prose. |

I think it's fair to say we had a very poor start and made a mistake trying to integrate too many players without Championship experience. However I think the current results are way more understandable.
I think most teams would struggle not being able to start even their fourth choice forward; their third choice CD, their main playmaker; their most experienced DM (I don't think Colback has the legs for it and is better higher up the pitch), one of their most creative and hardworking players on suspension.
Point being we can't judge our team as most of them aren't playing. |

Yeah, agree it's a key issue who our replacements are.
Love that article Dorse. Laugh out loud moments. Agree the mood at matches has been surprisingly positive given our performance on the pitch at times. Loving all the younger fans coming in.
We need a much better organised pre-season, resolving whatever is going wrong with players' conditioning and for all that's holy not to have another disastrous start to next season. |

I went to that match, and the AFC Wimbledon one which was nearly as bad.
I think I deserve a decent performance like Leeds at home. |

I think injuries killed us. No Chair early doors when we really could've done with his experience while blending in a number of new players. Huge chunks without Morrison, Cook, JCS. Losing both DMs at the same time. Colback out most of the season. No Dembele at the same time as Chair out. Frey out for a while. Celar out just as he was coming good. Kolli out, Lloyd also out after struggling with a groin strain. Our back up for Paal in January turns out to have an injury.
I know it's normal to get injuries but when your back up also gets injured you're going to struggle.
Positives: we showed fight when things were starting to look hopeless; we're looking to the future and blooding young players like Morgan and Kolli is exciting. Varane looks like an excellent player. We kept Marti.
Negatives: We very nearly left ourselves too much to do; the players we spent money on, Madsen and Celar have struggled to adapt to the Championship.
If we can have a more balanced squad next season, have more luck with injuries and start like a train rather than an old three wheeler next season could be interestiing. |

Yeah we all groaned when Foden came on as he generally hogs the ball and slows down play.
Agree with Hunter Ebs needs a move, ideally to a team that wants to play expansive football. Not Guardiola pressing fest. |

He does. Nice little cameo from his mum, 'she gets excited when she hears education mentioned'. Lol! |

I'm not saying he hasn't contributed. Just not enough to justify a new contract given his age. You'd expect any midfielder to score at least one goal across an entire season. I just have to correct my earlier post which is down to Sofascore saying he had one red card and one yellow to red, this was confusingly presented but Transfermarkt shows it as one red card in total. But that red card was potentially resposible for us losing points, as was the penalty.
I think he looked better on Saturday because he had Edwards doing the running for him. This wasn't available in the first half at Middlesbrough which is why I think we were so overrun.
But my main issue is he's hardly been available to play and his age won't improve that. |

Sometimes it's the passing, sometimes it's the lack of movement, sometimes it's not moving the ball quickly enough so that the player who ends up in possession after the third or fourth successive pass is surrounded by three opposition players. When confidence is higher two and three tend to improve which makes one easier. |

Yes all down to wages. Don't want another repeat of Johansen/Austin second season. |
