tinman85 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Eliasson - I called him the next Engvall. I hope I am not proven right. We were calling out for width today and an outlet. Why keep our £1.8M signing on the bench again? Diedhiou looked off the pace. But you can't blame the front two when the service was non existent. Is he worth £5M plus? Not on showing so far but time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Why not bring Eliasson on . Frustrating. COD just doesn't seem to affect the game. 2 million pound doesn't ******* play him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or a scout in the icy wastes is creaming it from SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough with players like Smith and Pack going missing when it got physical. TBF, I don't think there was anyone on the bench that would have made a difference in that game. Which is worrying given our spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkRed! Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I don't think we have the right balance at all. We have no physicality either. Problem is that a passing team did us on Tuesday and Millwall physically dominated us today. Korea Smith and a Jamie Paterson are lucky to be starting. Been abject.....

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 How about a different system then?? Time after time we were brushed aside. Bullied in midfield by Millwall at home. Lots of their attacks seemed to stem from us losing it in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no outlet and are dull to watch. Narrow midfield and lack of width. He was on the bench again today. Bruce has said he may need to sell again. If we signed Jackson Irvine and Albert we would be laughing. Loan O'Dowda to league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
