In these early days
The GK choice
The constant over exitement post game of how well we controlled the game
His seeming ignorance to the importance of defensive stability
Ive enjoyed many games and despite not creating much i did feel we were pretty competive yesturday. But we are desperately lacking something
At the back we have no balance
We seem to play like a stable prem club rather than one whos just come up and we simply dont have the squad for it
I like many of the players but when you look at the other prem clubs we have pretty much a developing squad in very important positions whilst having an unbalanced and questionable backline
Our forward line is made up of developing players in key areas.
Sure julio is quality but hes still in his own development stage
Fatawu. Jaden etc same
Emmerson. So raw
I dunno. Im semi happy with things but when i look at it a bit more deeply i dont see how this squad stays up without a big shopping spree in january whicj is gonna be tough to do
So if we are gonna go through a tough season. Can we do it honestly
None of this bullsht post game interview rubbish
None of this rcb playing lcb stuff
And pick the right bloody keeper

Not mentioned that he's just a bit smarmy? |  |

You could change the name from GON to KM and it would still ring true. Maybe the issue is the lack of better options and a manager trying to get the best out of what he has and generally doing a decent job? |  |

I like you, Frimmers. You seem genuinely nice and you obviously care about the club. But your footballing opinions are so often wide of the mark. It's pessimistic, and you'll forever be associated with your 'smarmy' comment, but blimey, you're hard work on here. |  | | |

What there is wide of the mark can i ask?
I dont see it as pessimistic. Its realistic no? | |

He’s definitely an over-thinker lol. I like him too; his heart’s in the right place.
This post rings a bit true to me though. I don’t think it’s that wide of the mark and as I mentioned above KM faced very similar criticisms. | |

Disagree. I think he sees the bigger picture and the potential we have. I can't stand being on here during games anymore as people micro analyse every misplaced pass. For me it's about the season, not individual games. I think we're holding our own. We've made mistakes, and there are a few things to address but I think we have a real chance to stay up.
O'Neil can see it as well. |  | | |

I wouldn't necessarily say it's this post that is wide of the mark, just that you'll find a negative in absolutely everything. Yesterday happened, let's get over it, enjoy the other things in life! | | | |

And i do get that but you cant expect mistakes not to happen when you dont proactively do something about them yourself.
It seems really obvious 3 at the back and wingbacks is most suited to us and it did us no harm against a very good city side. Imo we should have taken that on and worked with that.
Going into games with oshea as lcb is unbalanced. The keeper situation hes made worse theres no bigger picture with that. The bigger picture would have been letting your new keeper settle and work with the team etc.
Two constant selections which have effected us negatively imo is jaden and florentino. Occasional glimpses of stuff just not effective.
Its better than 24 and i feel we are in games more too. I do agree we have a chance but jan is important. | |

What choice has he got on the goalkeeper situation? The question isn't really one of 'are they premier league quality' right now, the only question for GON is which one of the substandard keepers starts. Based on what we saw of Scherpen he looked pony, he couldn't kick for toffee, let in some really soft goals, and nobody appeared to have any confidence in him.
I don't think we've defended badly for the most part as a collective. Its always going to be a balance between defensive solidity and attacking intent, but I don't think we've got it too far wrong. We're just making far too many individual errors, and not just at the back.
Ultimately, 11 points from 10 games. 1.1 ppg, over a season that's 42 points which would be enough. 5 home, 5 away, and a pretty reasonable cross section of the PL. I think we're pretty much where most people would've expected us to be aren't we? |  | | |

Scherpen was known for his long ball completion at his last club
For town he played more short balls than walton clearly something he was asked to do with a defence that had oshea at RB. A rusty diop and no palacios infront who drops back to take the ball either. Once he gets a fair run with this defence and midfield and given licence to go long i think it would be a fair comparison.
We are indeed in a position we would all take as long as we can keep it going. Its slowed down a tad and not sure where our next win is coming from however. | |

I'm not sure. Don't get me wrong I don't think Walton gets in any other side at this level and I thought the Scherpen switch was a little premature, its a hard one to come back from once you've made that call. But I think he'd made it hard for GON to keep him in at that point. Caught in no mans land at OT and got lobbed, both Liverpool goals were suspect, near post for the 1st and again in no mans land for the 2nd. Still not sure about Palace tbh, in their own right probably not howlers but off the back of the previous 2 it wasn't a great look. Shaky, poor distribution, Walton represented the supposed 'Steady Eddy' who might not win you tons of points but shouldn't cost you many. That's questionable lately though.
Its a tough one for me, and fooking annoying we're back where we were 2 years ago in that department. | | | |
