7 players were involved (on the pitch at some stage) yesterday who had no championship experience prior to the start of this season, while another 3 had very limited experience. That's a lot of churn and a lot of adjusting to do in a short space of time. |

They're used to block runners. Certainly rather ineffectively against Millwall. Totally agree that they would be better keeping defenders occupied on the halfway line.
A number of times Nardi looked for a quick release and had no available options. |

Do feel we can improve on defending the edge of our box, but then he received the ball via a deflection.
We're playing some nice football though, Anderson looking much better |

I had an over-weight friend who blamed their problem on their parents for buying them chocolate everytime they fell over, were upset, etc.
This feels similar. |

Surprised no-one's picking up on the very late, studs up challenge on Anderson, and the different punitive outcome. |

My final comment was made with a healthy dose of cynicism!
I'm always wary of premier league referees 'stepping down', I would imagine VAR may well subconsciously change their behaviour |

After Varanes late challenge, the reaction of a couple of their players suggests he's got a broken leg - one of them has his head in his hands. Team effort, that sending off. I think it's 50-50 he's getting a red, but they made sure.
Near the end, one of their players was very late on Anderson, studs up in to his ankle. Made no difference to the score, but if one's a red, the other is. Still, helped make up for the ridiculous red they got against Preston. |

Hi Brian! It's autumn harvest time, and the team here at Manx Medical Services are busy collecting body parts!
For a small initial fee, our expert team etc etc |

I don't know if rotating players around the pitch is supposed to make us unpredictable, but we were anything but. Possibly because it doesn't come organically to a lot of this team.
Presumably, Marti outlined the type of player he wanted in the summer, the analysts analysed, and chose the current lot. Some of them don't look up to it - yet. A big change for a lot of the new lads, it's going to take them a bit of time to adjust. We know Marti has it in him to be pragmatic, he's going to have to find a 'middle way', it'll be fascinating to look back at this start, at the end of the season.
There's problems to solve all over the place. I really like Dunne, but I can see why they want a more 'footballing' right back. But, he adds much needed height, and yesterday showed how much we need it. Good luck squaring that circle! |
