Surely both should be comfortable doing it by now tho SB. They've played under him for a while now. |  |

Half a season at most? Glad to see you're giving him time to coach the players. Given most of your posts this afternoon have been about how you're concerned by McKenna picking someone or getting the line-up wrong I'm interested to know how you didn't get the managerial job? I can only assume you didn't interview well. SB |  | |  |

I think you’ve missed the point of time and place and understanding pressure. |  |

Sorry sb you're spot on. Davis selection was correct. He was brilliant. I bow down to you |  |

Sometimes, you can't play and simply need to get rid of the ball. A couple of times in that 2nd half both were very fortunate and got away with it.....just! |  |

They didn't play badly, they made a couple of mistakes. The others times they did well in tight spaces and retained possession rather than hoofing it forward. You get worse by the day. SB |  | |  |

Leigh and Aluko should’ve started instead of Harness and Davis is what I thought when the team came out. |  |

Absolutely. No idea what the thoughts were on davis tbh. I'd understand if leigh was injured. Harness and Chaplin can't shield the ball like aluko and keep hold of it as well.. they need to be split. Together the ball just doesn't stick. Hopefully we've learnt a lot already from today. |  |

I know it's only the first game, so I don't want to be too judgemental, but I thought we looked better with Leigh at LWB, but I suppose we also need to consider that Davis is still getting to know the system and his new team mates. A nice problem to have for KM on that left side. |  |

That’s why I thought he (GL) should’ve started, he had a good pre-season and was here for all of it. |  |

What I find bizarre is when we signed davis. KM talks about his directness etc... well leigh is ridiculous at getting up and down the line.. and puts in some brilliant balls into the box to. Im sure there's something about davis otherwise we wouldn't have signed him.. but leigh for me is the perfect wingback. |  |

True, but when a L1 club has paid out £1m for a player he isn't going to be sitting on the bench. One thing is for sure is Leigh isn't going to simply let Davis have the jersey, based on how he played when he came on. Think they'll be pushing each other, so that can only be a good thing for us. |  |

My biggest concern is they seemed to understand when to take a touch and when to clear far better last season - so what’s changed over the summer for them to start over-playing at every given opportunity. |  |

Thought the same. Leigh is up to speed with KM tactics and has played well pre season. Aluko has also been a standout in our warm up games. |  |

Fridge I guess rightly so looks far away from last seasons self. Wolfenden looks like he's doing his usual awkward start of the season on the the ball to becoming the best with it around Xmas time. Lol. |  |

I like the way we play from the back but there is a time and place. That time isn’t when yiu have two attackers pressing you and no passing options. Both players were guilty of trying to turn more skilful players than them, when the slightest mistake could lead to a goal. I know you’re not a fan of Makin but he made a fair comment imo. |  |

I think it comes back to KM wanting an insurance policy for Edmunson, as he isn’t 100% comfortable playing on the left. If our LCD was as comfortable as Janoi is on the right then I think we’d play Leigh rather than the more defensive minded Davis. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Davis playing LCD with Leigh as left wing back at sone stage this season. |  |
