Morsy shaped hole 23:22 - Aug 8 with 458 views | jasondozzell | Probably naive to think we could replace such a pivotal player and start the season as if nothing had changed. Matusiwa will come good, you could see there's a real player there, but will take time. We missed Morsy at the base imo. Despite knowing it was coming we really did go into rabbits in headlights mode a bit and needed Morsy's calm and know how. We couldn't get any bite or control in there. Taylor. I love Tayls and he did some good work but another game where he hasn't grabbed it and made it his. All in all, a very good point and pretty decent considering that we're still trying to build the team and get everyone up to speed. Thought we were almost too focused on quick ball and trying to counter. The first half especially needed us to look after the ball a bit more and find rhythm. Ali made a difference when he came on I thought. Something different. Did anyone see how/if Broady celebrated the pen? I am just glad that potentially his last game wasn't defeat here. Still hope he stays. Supporters need to be patient. Felt the whole game had the feel of everything being a bit awkward and that extended to fans. This is a tough league and we need to remember the years of slog. It's not going to be a the procession that some expect. Really hate fans getting on players backs immediately. Clarke, Johnson etc. And a word for Brum. They will be top 6. Aggressive press, worked hard and difficult to play against. |  | | |  |

Doesn't seem to be switched on/have a football brain/concentrate for 90 minutes. Definitely promise in Matusiwa. Will grow into the season. |  | |  |

Yeah, Johnson didn't cover himself in glory but I feel for him in that it's been very stop and start since he came here for him. He's inconsistent. I agree about the concentration issue too. He can be excellent though. Young to start against Saints? |  | |  |

obviously they have one or two to come through the door as well but they're clearly quite pragmatic, no overlapping full backs or anything too expansive, they clearly work hard off the ball and roughed us up a little, as they were always likely to do Their midfield two look reasonably tidy I wasn't overly impressed with them as a whole, Kyogo is going to be useful though, looks like the kind of striker McKenna has never really gone for but one who runs the channels with good movement and makes a nuisance of themselves would give us something different |  |
