Just my take on the last couple of games (even if it was with the prawn sandwich brigade and not in the Brummie)

Firstly I enjoyed seeing us having the ball more often and controlling the game more which I haven’t really seen since we had RDM or Mowbray

Where I think we differ from those teams especially RDM was the fact that we had a commanding CF and were a better organised back 4 with better defensive midfielders able to see off games after nicking a goal

What I would say tho is we have our best CB out and when Olsson was out we used to struggle too

We have a lot of players that need to gel and click which takes time, and does explain why we were a bit lost in the last third today as players don’t know each others runs / preferences etc

I don’t recall any team making this many changes and hitting the ground running apart from maybe Southampton one year

Feeling positive with Bilic think he will try and improve players, even people like Burke who was crap today but surely we need to try and get them playing rather than slag them off

Thought Furlong looked good, and I thought we were going to struggle at RB but we seem to have 2 good options

Would like to see a solution at DM to help the back four in tight games or when we are up and under pressure don’t think it’s Livermore and Sawyers is more offensive minded although looked very good

Edwards has started strongly but needs to improve final ball as do most of our attackers
