Sounds like we grew into the game. Glad (GK) that Sabri not afraid to sub quickly and force some pace on the opposition at the end. Mir had a hand in the Grabone goal. I think Sow will terrify the other teams, reminds me of Norman ( Clogger) Hunter. Cash had a good game and I think so did Watson. It surprises me that Lolley did so little - Bostock will change that. Maybe the coach has got on to something - maybe our dour and dogged players just don't fit the bill. Our 2 central defenders played long aimless balls - perhaps Chema Rodriguez will alter all that?

I have just got back.
When you say "sounds like" are we to assume you didn't see it? Just wonder how you have so many opinions about something you didn't see.
It was a good all round performance for a trip to Leeds, the new boys all doing well so let's give them time to settle, Silva will come good when he adjusts to the pace. Dawson and Worrall were pretty decent so long aimless balls is a bit harsh when there was nobody to aim at. Cash and Ameobi for the two wide positions for me, but Grabban needs a bit of support.

Balance view that is completely different to what a lot of other fans went and seen we didn’t get to the game but we listen to opinions of people that did and majority said we didn’t look bothered first half and we was lucky for the point stats also said the same thing and we still need another forward and Silva sounds like he’s a bit like carvahallo inconsistent where as semedo sounds really good.

Hearsay then is the basis of your opinion?
Semedo is quality I will agree.
Didn't look bothered first half? utter tosh, they defended for their lives and very well against a top side. Yes a lucky point but you take them, stats? well who cares they don't tell the story it's points that count. Another forward would be good I do agree but Grabban is taking far too much stick in the lone role, he put a real shift in, can't say the same for armchair fans favourite Lolley. Silva has real quality just like Carvo, but if my memory is correct Carvo was getting a bashing twelve months ago. How time changes opinions eh?

Not from me, carvalho was a passenger last season and has much to prove. From the armchair or the stands Lolley was a light last season - that’s a fact.
Silva has shown nothing other than a good performance in a kick about in the park so I’m curious a to know what you have seen from him to form your view?

Needs a bit of support? He needs to press the defence n keeper n then maybe the midfielders will.
11 Aug 2019 08:09:32
Here he goes again grabban hating. you need to take a back seat, why waste all that energy when your midfield is sat on the halfway line Arran? grabban went to do that looked round and the midfield was 30yards behind him because that’s how we were set up, to sit back and contain Leeds. we only pressed when they got to the halfway again which was our tactic.
Your hate for grabban is poor.

No balancedview I did not get to the game. I can only get to a few every season, but myview is that any opinion on here is valid, and almost all are constructive in their thinking. Of course the whole thing was live on tv so could have watched it, but curiously I prefer the sound commentary. After watching it afterwards I haven't changed my mind at all. I doubt we will be getting a new striker, Sabri will hope that Grabban and Mir can do the biz together. We have a good chance to beat Brum at home, and no doubt we will all get behind the lads, come what may.

Bye bye mon, u defend from the front, he didn’t need to do it every time but at least make the Leeds defenders panic a little an not give them all the time in the world to play it out from the back, it was just time after time he was jogging, bamford the other end never gave us all the time in the world, an maybe as some pointed out already he needs to play as a 2 but I’m just calling what I saw from the game an him scoring didn’t stop that.
11 Aug 2019 16:31:27
No point Grabban burning himself out chasing the ball across the back 4. If you are going to press you press as a team. Absolutely no point one player doing it.
11 Aug 2019 16:52:44
Byebyemon his supposed ‘hate ‘ for grabban ain’t anywhere near as your ‘hate’ for Martin o’neill, a proper legend of the club.
11 Aug 2019 17:49:03
Thing is I don’t hate Grabban he’s a goal scorer but what I don’t like is what I’ve seen in the 1st 2 games an I will say it again he didn’t have to do it all the time, yea u press as a team but Grabban is the 1st line and a senior member but just doesn’t look like he wants to do the dirty work when he’s 1 up on his own.
