People urged patience for those two and they’ve been proven right. I’m not sure why Just isn’t being afforded the same courtesy.
With Burgess injured and Ronald thriving as an impact sub, he’s in danger of becoming this season’s scapegoat. |

I think we’ll probably mix in a bit more direct football against the footballing sides. We already do it at home. Cabango played a few diagonals to Opoku on the weekend.
Very little point doing that at Milwall as they will win most aerial challenges but have a big lumbering thug up front who isn’t that hard to manoeuvre around.
I don’t think we’ll risk playing triangles around strikers so often against West Ham. |

He just off the pace. Slow to react. All of those players suffered with that initially. They all had to and did improve physically as well. On the ball he looks fine to me.
Can’t really compare him to Tymon or Vipotnik, but he looks a lot better than Eom or Widdell did in their first few months. Difference is we have much more competition in midfield than we did when they arrived, or at any point in the Championship. |

I think Just is getting a bit of unfair flak due to the strength of the squad and the fact the other new arrivals have hit the ground running.
Look how long Vipotnik, Eom and Widdell took to settle, all are massive players now. Even Tymon was nowhere near the best full back in the league in his first 10 games.
The dilemma with Just is whether you give an obviously talented player time to acclimatise, or just go with players who are better right now. It’s a luxury we didn’t have with the others. |

Whatever we’re paying Jamestown, it isn’t enough. Our recruitment this season has been sublime. |

This is a theme. When we’re under the cosh, which we are quite often against teams like Milwall and Lincoln, we don’t really concede big chances. On the odd occasion we do, Vigaroux steps right up or our defenders throw themselves in the way. It was Lissah and Stewart last night, Cabango has done it a few times this season.
We’re getting credit for the football we play, but our defensive organisation is flying under the radar |

Of the three yes, and I’d probably add Stamenic to that. We just don’t have anyone to step in for Eustacquio and play the same way.
Fulton and Franco can both play the deep role if you want them to shield the centre backs and break up attacks. Franco is more dynamic, Fulton is much more positionally disciplined, both can do that well. You wouldn’t want either playing the ‘quarterback’ role that is key to how Matos wants us to play. |

This is the under rated side of our game that the TikTok experts never seem to mention.
We’re not always on top, but when we aren’t, we’re conceding possession and territory, but rarely conceding big chances. We control those periods very well. |

Re. selection and rotation, I did think we missed Eustacquio in terms of fluency. Fulton had a very good game playing to his strengths and he certainly snuffed out Norwich attacks.
I prefer him further forward though, he’s not the player to take it from centre backs in tight spaces and move it quickly through midfield. I don’t really know what the answer is there without Eustacquio because neither Franco nor Stamenic are suited to it.
As an aside, I know we had players returning from the other side of the world, but I’m not sure I like Fulton, Franco and Widell as a starting midfield, I rate them all, but are all fairly similar. |

I don’t think those 10 minute spells are sustainable over 90, just because they are so intense. We are going to need to do that for short spells, then manage the game for a bit before going again.
I do agree though, someone is taking a hammering soon. We are pretty good at limiting the opposition when we aren’t going full tilt. If we could get three or four spells like that in each game, we would blow teams away. |

We were a little bit off our rythm, as I’m sure Norwich were. Disagree with those saying they were the better team in the first half, we weren’t quite clicking, but I thought they offered very little until the goal, which was a sloppy mistake more than them creating anything.
Massive cliche, but picking up points when you aren’t at your best is a sign of a great team |

I’ve no doubt he’ll be a top player. His composure in tight situations is ridiculous. It’s like having a #10 a right back at times.
The only thing I’m questioning is knowing when to take a risk and when to play a simple pass or even clearance. It’s minor and something I’m sure will be ironed out. |

Absolutely. We’ve had a good starting eleven for a number of years. We haven’t had anything like the quality on the bench or in some cases, not even in the squad.
The amount of games we’ve been the better team for 60/70 minutes then got turned over when opponents brought players on who improved their teams and we couldn’t match it. |

Yes he does.
Conversely, if he wasn’t so good, he probably wouldn’t overplay. It’s not much of a problem, he just needs to know when to play a simple ball instead of turning his man then playing the exact same pass |

Word of caution on Lissah - and this is in no way a knock. I think he’s already easily the best academy graduate since we were Premier League and Category A and I’d gladly start him in any game at centre back or right back.
He’s got so much ability and confidence, that he tends to overplay when a simple ball is less risky and just as effective. He usually gets away with it because he’s so composed and is usually a better player than the man he’s up against, but he does get caught unnecessarily. Got turned over a couple of times today and it’s happened before. Better teams will exploit it.
I’d play him every week, but he needs to tighten up his decision making when there’s no reason to beat a man or play a flashy pass. |

You don’t have to travel very far for evidence of a club that built a stadium too big for their fanbase and is now regularly a third empty in the championship.
I would think we’d need to establish ourselves in the PL before expansion became a realistic option. We missed our chance under the previous owners. |

If Levein, Kaplan and Michael Duff are your benchmark, then so be it. |

Our only managers to have lost more than they won since the PL are Duff and Luke Williams. Martin had 36 of each.
This is a little bit like when you kept insisting Levein and Kaplan were good owners. |
