For their goal, I thought it was Bennett that gave the ball away trying to play on the edge of our box? Still had plenty of time to close him down on the edge of the box mind!Quote:

I've never understood why Bogle was shunted aside so easily when he first came here and we instead pursued the likes of Madine and Ward. He's a little untidy at times but he's scored plenty of goals in his career and he's a handful in the Championship.
Glatzel has potential but he's new to this league.Too early to be writing him off.
Agreed based on his performances on the pitch the 1st time round. But on top of the absolutely stupid red card at Wurzels, he supposedly had a poor attitude in training and turned up late on a number of occasions.Quote:

Not really true. Sometimes it's much harder to find your way into a game coming on as a sub.Quote:

He is working hard but things not going right for him in front of goal. Should we be more patient? How has Bogle done when he's started?
So it is true just not all the time...Quote:

I'll take a pint, seems no lose to me
Agreed. He’s actually linked up well when he’s had a bit of support and he works bloody hard in what can be a thankless role at times. He’s snatched at a few chances but I think once he scores once, it’ll give him the confidence to kick on.Quote:

Put 4 in the middle and try & match up with the opposition, instead of being continually over run 4 on 3. We score once in a blue moon from wide positions. Tomlin, Ralls, Pack (Vaulks) plus one of the wide players tucked in!
He'll score more than ten!!!Quote:

Peroni, please!
I'd go along with this.Quote:

His first goal will come soon I'm sure.
P.S get me down for that pint.
I'll add that our strikers feed off scraps here.
Murphy seems to see it as the Murphy show. He steps over, beats his man for pace but 9 times out of 10 ends in an off target shot or a cross that is either blocked, cleared or simply doesn't get into the danger area. The same applies from the other side without the need for the showboating stuff.
We also have very little creativity through the middle. If we did have somebody who could put a ball through then we would see a lot better from our strikers as a whole.
He gets in great positions but he hasn't settled into the rhythm of the team yet. Unlike Gary Madine he's looked like scoring quite a lot and I get the feeling that it will all fall into place after he scores his first goal.
He'll certainly score more than ten
Give him time to settle in FFS.Quote:

He was a least 10 yards off the pace when Hoillet scored.
It would not surprise me to see Bamba, Connolly and Peltier as a back three in some future winter games if our 4-4-1-1 needs tweaking.Quote:

Heard that's what the players had before the Reading gameQuote:

Players I'd start ahead of him:

This list will grow.
I like Paterson but he looks a shadow of his former self right now.Quote:

So you’re saying it’s the player and not the system we play?Quote:

I like him and I still think he'll bang a few in for us
What, direct football?Quote:

What service did Mitrovic get for them? I'd argue even less than Glatzel got but he still made himself a handful, protected the ball, played in others and bagged himself a goal.
Be honest, the service Glatzel was atrocious tonight!Quote:

I think there is a possibility that Tomlinson and Glatzel will come good - if there given time.
