He might have been up to speed for ligue 2 but Championship is another level or 2 again, he needs to adjust and they will be working on his fitness and conditioning.
Some players take to it quicker and others need a bit more time.
It's dilemmas that we could do without but under the circumstances we have to with it.
Any updates on Ginnelly? We could really do with him back even if it was bedding him in from the subs bench.
Abdulai on the wing is akin to playing with 10 men. At least he seems to have ditched having Fulton and Grimes on at the same time.... Grimes is the best pointless passer in the whole of football

After seeing Abdulais highlight reel when playing in the centre I actually feel sorry for him being made to play on the wing. He clearly looks uncomfortable and it doesnt do the team any good wither. Thats not the way to develop talent.

Exactly. He's struggling about as much and for the same reasons that Latibeaudiere did, and being blamed for something that isn't his fault in precisely the same way.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

It’s because our moves and fluid enough. The wingers are stationery and if a ball is pit through it’s a race from a standing start which the defender will nearly always have enough to thwart the attack.
With the fullback pushing up so high the channel in behind gets blocked by the player dropping back to mark said fullback. When the full backs have started from a deeper position we saw Ronald and Parker have lots of space both inside and outside the defending fullback and more one on ones. Not saying fullback should not join the attack where ever possible but first let the ball do the work then as the spaces open up the fullback can exploit gaps both inside and out. One game before Parker was injured and was doing well both him and Abdulai were playing on the right Abdulai starting deep looked comfortable coming forward with the ball never gave the ball early enough until he run into congestion, not saying he didn't look to create things but Parker had his worst game and never saw the ball until it was too late and the spaces were closed down.
Find space early and pass the ball quickly before spaces for other players get closed down. As for Ronald's reluctance to cross the ball are we back to Martin's tactic of not crossing the ball until we find the prefect ball?

Martin was a poor coach as is Williams Players not improving Players regressing We’ve been here before We have the tools ,apart from strikers,to do ok.
When Franco or Cooper come off I would put Abdulai in their place and possibly Peart-Harris as well if both come off. IMO neither are ready to start as we have better but bed them in that way at the moment.

It is my opinion that against Norwich because Grimes press higher up the park, Cooper and Franco have less work to do as the whole team pushes up. The one who tired was Grimes so I tempted to take Grimes off for Allen and bring Abdulai on for tone of the other two, Cooper had a full game Sunday and Franco was taken off so expect Franco to stay on and Cooper to come off on Wednesday being replaced by Abdulai or would Fulton get the nod?

I think Cooper possibly depends on Cullen. Not sure if he’s available, he wasn’t on the bench Sunday?
We missed his energetic pressing and there was a bit more onus on Cooper to do it in his absence. I’m not sure anyone else gives us that. No issues at all with Allen coming on for Grimes.
Not a knock at Vipotnik, it was pretty clear he gives us options Cullen doesn’t.

Definitely the best he’s played for us. Harrying defenders isn’t going to be his strength, but I’m assuming he’d been asked to do that in previous games. He did it less on Sunday, but looked much more involved when we were attacking. He’s decent defending corners too

He needs help, a chance or two, some passing to him,some help from his coach to maximise his abilities, He won’t get much help so long as Zgrimes gas the ball
