Good report Clive... agree the problems In our attack aren’t going to be solved down the right
I think our problems down the left stem from Wallace...: too slow to get up and down, and not comfortable enough on the ball.... he is killing us down that flank.... look at how Carroll played against Plymouth when manning was providing an outlet.... he wasn’t great ystd but you can understand why- he played a perfect weighted through ball in the first half which Wallace couldnt get on the end of bc he’s too slow
Same with chair.... how much better would he be if he had a player who could overlap or take the ball off him? Instead, he plays a backwards or sideways pass to Wallace who takes a few dribbles infield before he gives it back to chair
I thought Warburton rly had a rough match, particularly in the last 20 mins where we were absolutely horrible ..,, with one sub available, I thought it bordered on gross incompetence to not make the final change and try to truly chase the game .... hamalainen for Wallace would’ve been my sub to provide some industry down the left and another option to cross into box and overlap
We clearly don’t have a strategy with manning... what happens if he doesn’t sign tmrw? Do we just not play him for the rest of the season? Why don’t we give hamailanen a chance? Maybe he’s an Oteh and not up for it, but he can also be a kakay. We won’t know until he’s given an opportunity... and given Wallace’s horrible injury record, I think MW is making a massive mistake by not blooding him when he has the chance |  | |  |

I'm surprised we haven't seen Nico yet. Not that I'm particularly a fan but Wallace has had a couple of rough games and from what I understood Hamailenen was mighty close to starting the first game v Forest. |  | | |

Wallace just isn't good enough. Much as I'd like to see him improve, can't see it happening.
Looks like Manning will be off so the only option is to give Nico his chance. | | | |

It was maybe the issue of creating and maintaining a settled defence as early as possible. After the international break matches come thick and fast so Nico may get his shot then. | | | |

I realize he isn't popular with the fan base and plays on the right side but is Kane an option at all? Wondering where he fits in the squad other than to spell Kakay. |  | | |

I really don't think he does, except maybe as a utility defensive midfielder/wingback if we hit a run of injuries. It's really too bad he's on such a long contract, it makes him tough to move particularly in current circumstances. | | | |

As one of your two regular readers. Very disappointed that you didn't do your Dominic Iorfa (not that one) joke! |  |

Thanks, Clive. Good report. I think you captured that goal well as a moment of almost back to it feeling real.
I do think you’re being very generous to Cameron, though.
Bannan and Luongo looked far better than all of our midfield 3 (including Amos in there). Luongo out battled our midfield including Cameron (he’d made 3 big, successful tackles in the first 20 min). I’m really not sure what Cameron is offering if he’s not out least being a physical presence in the middle.
He’s “fine” for a relegation standard side, but not a mid table and top half side, IMO, not how he’s currently playing.
The middle of the park isn’t quite there. I don’t think we’re far off being a good side. The defending and the set pieces (both boxes) have improved in the last two games. Glad we’ve gone man to man, not zonal. Dickie looks to be growing into the role. Dieng looks promising. In general things feel encouraging...but that doesn’t mean all is rosy. |  | | |

What’s this I read?
A “must win” game called (nearly) at this stage of the season? What madness is this?!
We’ll have you wetting the bed by January at this rate |  |

I've only seen Hamalainen play 'live' twice, my first and last impression was; Hmmm well okay nothing special there then, was a while ago though. |  |

Me too. The last time was when he was with LAFC. Left back isn't really a flashy position, (unless you're Alphonso Davies but, then, we're not Bayern Munich) it might take a few games to see what he can, or can't do. | | | |

I have never rated Hamalainen but then I see how Kakay has taken his chance and am starting to think 'well why not'. |  | | |

I don't get the criticism of Wallace. It's OTT.
After conceding 76 last year and Manning stalling over a new contract, Warbs wanted to tighten up. Wallace made a howler against Coventry but the tackle on Windass, at the end of the first half was goal-saving.
Sure he's not that quick and, certainly doesn't offer the attacking threat of Manning, but you get what you pay for.
Is Nico another one of those who gets better the less he plays? |  |

Agree with that, good solid pro, missed a lot of football before coming to us and didn't make a public fuss when waiting for his chance. I would think he is still getting his form together.
Obviously he is not as good as Manning going forward but a far more experienced defender. Defence has been our achilles heel for a few years and he is our safest option there whilst we try and organise and settle the back four.
Hamalainen will get his chance as the games come thick and fast. | | | |
