What is up with Hirst?
at 20:34 30 Aug 2025

I agree. But if we’re honest, it isn’t just hurt. Our players appear to be taught how to take a heavy touch and give it straight back to the opponent.

Azon looked ok today, he’s a bit of a unit so with throw himself around (a delay esque player) which Hirst isn’t. If he had the same focus on performaning, other than dying his hair, I think we’d be alright!

Inverting Leif isn't working
at 20:16 30 Aug 2025

Couldn’t agree more. Philogene isn’t a Winger (either left or right). He’s too slow. Ogbene cannot trust his legs in terms of taking on an opponent. Burns will be the same when he returns. Clarke is knocked off the ball with the most minor touches, almost like the wind blows him off the ball.

Young isn’t good enough to bomb up and down on the right hadn’t side. At points he was inverting in, with O’Shea providing the width. It all feels rather disjointed.

From a formation which depended solely on stretching the opponents, yet still operating in the half spaces, this team is a shadow of the 23/24 team.

It’s all good adapting tactically, but taking out our greatest strengths (leif’s width and crossing ability), not recruiting good dribblers and quick thinking forward players is inexcusable.
