The signs are there that Farke is going to make us a quality team when he gets the team and squad he needs. We need some experience because it is a relatively young team. The main frustration for me was Messlier with the distribution. Their goal came because he tried to play out and WBA picked it up. Too often he wants to play short balls that put people under pressure instead of just clearing it. Even at the end of the game in injury time, he was looking to play it out from defence. We should have won that game, but a great result given our bench

Bamford will be off according to Farke. Schmidt was injured, Joseph and Aaronson still on break after international duty. Harrison could stay depending on how hard he works in training 

bamfords stolen a wage for 3 years
amazing the number of people saying he should play!!!  get shut

I thought Nmecha looked really good during his stint up front 

promising yes. even more when you consider he'll be a back up

Piaxiao looks like he’s going elsewhere … they’re paying £37m euros. Big blow that but I’m sure we’ve a few other quality players on the radar.. let’s hope so anyway as we need someone of that ilk, someone who’ll get a goal out of nowhere and strike fear of god into the fullbacks.


Decent performance anyway today,. Tanaka looked class as did Bogle
