Always said O'Leary is a decent Championship goalkeeper. We improved on him for one season and we could have been in trouble under Struber had he not signed Vitek, he was THAT important. But then we let Max go and we bring in worse keepers. Very poor planning for GK position

'3 year plan'. I can't believe how many fans lapped up that nonsense. It's such a negative message to send imo. One fan who I usually respect even said relegation and then a rebuild might be a good thing. In the real world if we played like this those fans wouldn't be happy

With possible Scott money will we get big lumps so we can more effectively go long ball, and get rid of the players who like getting on the ball between the lines like Twine and Horvat. I said in the summer we might as well sell Twine at his highest value as he isn't Skoobs type

Not been on here for ages. Poor season so far isn't it? A lot of fans said 3 year plan. It all sounds good but it was obvious if we looked poor then a lot of those fans would lose patience. I was just waiting to see how we looked before getting excited. Below par so far

Ballard all on his own there. Why is no one sprinting forward to try and give him an option

I wanted Skubala in more for what I'm seeing now. Imo the reason why we looked poor was more because of team selection and tactics. He's since getting it right. Burnley was impressive. End up lower mid table whilst this very impressive squad get used to each other? Nah fuck off

My only concern about that lineup is that the 3 midfielders are playing deep and it means you have Twine and Wallace on the break with Tolaj who can get away from people, but not exactly a scary break going on unless Knight is in the 10, and for me that makes more sense

Solid lineup. Knight in the 10 and Twine left? Yes Knight is quite clumsy with his passes but what he gives off the ball can be even more beneficial. Not like we are going to be feeding balls into his feet much in this game. And he'd be good at winning 2nd balls from Tolaj's work

Just to add, feeding Knight balls into feet in tight spaces in a low block kind of set up. I expect us to break so he will have to get passes right. But I can see the decision to play him higher if that is what is happening of course

Scott Twine's 100th game for us. Fans moaned about his complaining, trying to win free kicks just as Scott did which was seen as a good thing when Scott did it. Twine works hard in every sense. Runs, tracking, pressing, brave on the ball or to receive the ball. Excellent player

Watching Greenwood so far, is that what fans would have preferred? Come on now, the problem was the former decision makers. And that's okay if it makes sense. But some decisons were good, not all bad. Twine is one of the more positive decisions imo

Cardines RB would make Horvat a good option on the right. As Cardines would overlap and create space for Horvat to come inside and make intelligent short passes and get shots off that he does so well. Horvat very good option who works hard who could have a big part to play imo

Watching the game again. Greenwood to me going through the motions. Doesn't track or press with any real purpose. Not desperate to create space or show for the ball when we have it. When he did get the ball it was safe. Not showing bravery in his game. Trying to get away with it

Yah a big positive from the bench. Pace and power in the middle of the park really helped us

YES!!! Never in doubt with Ballard in that position. Got to find a way of starting this kid!

Great header from Eissat. Annoying foul by him on that delivery then as we probably go 3 up if he doesn't make it

Twine did more in one minute than Greenwood did in 69 coming off the left. Good pass to Tolaj who maybe could do better one on one on the angle. Good save

Greenwood really didn't want to block that shot then. Stayed back and gave the Preston player all the time and space to shoot and luckily it hit him anyway! He is a technically gifted player but not sure what he brings to this side so far. Early days though so may change
