JoeAman08 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Playing the long ball to Tomlin for much of the half where he's had no intention of jumping to try and win it. Kodjia so isolated. Brownhill putting in a shift but some poor passes. Ball always out on the left but on the rare occasions on COD and Aylings side we are dangerous. Goal was a mistake turned counter. Flint beat for pace and good cutback and finish. It's the championship and it'll happen every time. Anyway. Don't mind Tomlin on the left but we need to stop lumping it up to him like he's Wilbraham. Bobby Reid I think should've started. Kodjia needs bodies near him. Why have we spent 7-8m quid on good footballers to play lump and chase? Get the ball on the ground to Tomlin, Kodjia and O'Dowda's feet. Wigan look comfortable if unspectacular. They could be the Preston of the season 2 Quote Link to comment
cityexile Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just now, AshtonGreat said: That's too long Should also remember they have five debutants today. Cannot really use it as an excuse. Sounded like we played very little football that half. Quote Link to comment
LondonBristolian Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) I'm sure LJ knows far better than me but, if it were me, I'd take off a midfielder (Brownhill probably but maybe O'Neill if he's not going to last 90 minutes), put Abraham on and push for a 4-2-1-3 with Tomlin behind Kodjia.

Magnusson looks shocked at the tempo too. O'Dowda good though. Magnusson looks a bit shaky thus far but not in the defending 1 on 1 or on the ball. Off the ball defending and strength wise he looks like he needs a lot of work. That'll come though. Callum O'Dowda looks a steal even at his price. Not touched it much but every time he does we get in dangerous positions. Giving Burn the run around. Quote Link to comment

Ivorguy Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 As some have said we can't, in this division, wait ten games in the hope of the team gelling. They need to gel from the start. A defeat today, at home against a promoted side, would be a very bad start given the games to come. September could, if we can't win today, already see us drifting off the division's pace. 2 Quote Link to comment
TheCulturalBomb Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Sounds like last season, Loads of chances and no goals. COYR!!!!! Quote Link to comment

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think Kodjia missed quite a few at the start of last season, still should do better this term. Bryan forced a good save. Quote Link to comment

Ivorguy Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Come on Lee take Kodjia off. Surely Abraham wouldn't/couldn't miss as many as Kodjia (one season wonder?) 1 Quote Link to comment

Ivorguy Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 No I said in close season that Kodjia could turn out to be a one trick pony. Sadly after an hour, plus preseason, this may be true. He seems not to have learnt from last season"s failings, and that is worrying. Quote Link to comment
