Where we are in the League

Looks like everyone thinks it is only the finishing and the lack of transfers to strengthen up front?

I’m seeing issues all over the pitch…

Tino - wrong side of his man a lot of times and getting caught on in possession

Hall - loses the ball very cheaply a lot

Both lads still young, but Timo especially seems to have gone backwards when you compare his performances at the start of last season when Tripps was out.

Midfield looks like they aren’t really sure what they are supposed to be doing between them, but Bruno seems to want to do it all himself too often and we end up losing the ball most of the times. He’s most fouled player, but the amount of times the foul isn’t given is probably greater because he’s trying to do too much then losing it and it’s just down to trying to do too much, and not a foul, a lot of the time.

Gordon is trying to run past players to cut in and get a shot off his right foot.

Isak is all over, not sure what he’s been asked to do because it’s confusing the f**k out of me.

This isn’t just now, this is all season so far, but we’ve gone backwards a team… the style/identity is missing, we are so slow to play out from the back it is painful and by the time we get anywhere near the final third the opposition has had a chance to pack the box and we are trying to pass the ball around 6 men and the chances we are giving Isak especially are sh!te.

This is why I don’t think it is the finishing/lack of strengthening in the summer… it is the play to get it to somewhere a player can take a shot from is so f**king slow.

If I'm being 100% honest, Ian, I'm trying to avoid the elephant in the room.
