Frustrating game to watch - very little to be happy about - exposed badly down the wings - couldn’t play through the middle and no decent link up play in final third - felt sorry for celar. Anderson ok liked Lloyd when he came on
We need more pace than smyth and get the ball into the box quicker
Top evening - half time couldn’t come soon enough dire match and then chair lit up a frozen landscape - never seen one sub make such a difference- 2-0 win away perfect
First live game of the season. bloody M1 being closed on way home was annoying!
1-1 probably about fair. Swansea kept the ball so much better than us but looked pretty toothless up front. When we played it quickly up front on the floor or in behind for Smyth we caused them lots of problems.
Chair is an energiser bunny ran his socks off again and looked great on the ball but he obviously still needs to get his timing with Armstrong right. a few times we could have released him earlier (which is what Armstrong needs)
Armstrong - theres loads to like - put the ball in behind a defence and hes very scary, and his hold up play is improving massively - where I thought he was really lacking is his Box work - doesnt seem to come alive at all and as peeps have said he probaly needs a foil (especially at home).
Smyth was very lively and if he made a mistake he put it right put in a couple of good crosses and a couple of row Zsss
I thought Willock showed real signs last night and there was a 10 min spell where him and chair started linking up again which was promising.
Fox Cook Paal Kakay all ok - but we didnt look comfortable at anything coming down either wing really.
Our main 2 problems I think are anyone to link the play between back and front and so we resport to a lot of long balls. We play nothing through the middle. Goal threat - as mentioned Armstrong needs to improve his Box presence or you play him with Dykes. But I dont see us scoring more than 2 goals in any game this season.
Dykes made a big difference when coming on - great finish and pleased that the drive home was with points!
Sat in the R Block great noise even if the attendance numbers were low...
Early call but I reckon 20th is where we will be most of the season... gulp
