I reckon we need to get Bielik into midfield ASAP.

For all of his inconsistency, B Johnson ended up pretty much a first pick in FLs later games.

Dowell (at the moment) is showing the square root of **** all and we can’t afford passengers in midfield.

I was pretty impressed with Clarke for the first few games.... specialist CB now left out to accommodate the acclimatising Bielik.

I really think we are buggered with the full back situation. NONE of them are decent Champ full backs other than Bogle and Fozzy (when he’s on it). With the transfer window shut, we can’t do a thing to rectify. Cocu coming in too late with the FL Chelsea saga won’t have helped.

Six games is too early to make judgement on Cocu yet imo. The “Coco” jibes aren’t helpful.
Yes, it seems he’s made selection / tactical / positional errors that we think we could have done better with.
Maybe he has to see for himself to learn.

At the end of the day, we haven’t got a fantastic squad. An 85% Rooney will be a great improvement on what we have. Does anyone think WR would have missed the chance Bennett had against WBA when he missed the target.

I won’t criticise yet but making the SAME errors can’t be ignored.

I think with FL and the back room staff going at the same time as losing 3 premier / international players was going to have us in a period of transition.
It’s not started as well as it could but Cocu does need time and a window or two to correct what we are deficient in (in we have the funds).

A win against Cardiff would be welcome.
