Brum v QPR | Match Thread

[daveshads]

Can’t win ‘em all. We’ve had a decent season so far so let’s not get too down. This looked a tough game and so it proved. Bad pretty much all round and Brum were way too tough physically for us. Must learn from it!

The only thing I will say is we signed Ronnie to play CB and hes doing the hokey kokey between there and CM, if Varane not up to it then cash in on the bloke

Still think we need a unit that can handle themselves and hold the ball up up front Kone don't look like hes interested in playing looks as fit as a butchers dog maybe personal stuff going on only dozen games in nearly but way of the pace

Move on some tough games coming up we can stick around top half

I said this last season, we need a Vinny Jones / Robbie Savage. Surely it cant be hard to to find a super fit box to box midfielder who can win the ball and pass it on. Unfortunately, we want ball players because they mske the most money. Touch our players and they get injured.....hardly any are robust enough for league. Same as Morgan with Bradford, hes a defensive midfielder byt deemed too soft to play L1. Millwall have got a bit of fight in them, but our midfield are a bunch of fair weather ball players.

So JS says we have a lack of freshness. True but why is it? I know the directors have great faith in our fitness guru but something he’s doing isn’t working.

Despite only seeing him play twice for the U21 DS I have high expectations for this 18yr old lad being a big player for us in defensive MF when he finally returns from a long term injury.

Total tackles 18 v 11

Percentage tackles won 66.7% v 36.4%

What a bunch of pussies!

Agreed re Kone. Clearly something amiss, mentally/physically. Hopefully we have somebody in our staff who can deal with the issue. I don’t think he’s useless but let’s not pick him right now (even on the bench). Might be doing the lad more harm than good.

Agreed re kone , the bloke looks shattered after running 10 yards .
The man's in his early 20s and has no stamina .
