If you take away the stupid mistakes that cost us two goals against Brum, Jos has made us defensively more sound and hard to beat. Problem is where is the creativity and goals going to come from?? He needs a bit of luck off the field and get a couple of players back earlier than scheduled.
You are right Imre, the second half we were definitely better. Pelupessy is doing ok, played a bit further forward today with Jones in the team. He doesn’t do anything spectacular but gets about and does a job of winning the ball back, problem is he doesn’t have any creative options to give the ball to. Palmer I thought had a decent game today, defensively he didn’t have a ton to do as most of their attacking wing play went through Isgrove on the other side, but he was maybe our best attacking option!! Joao and Nuhiu don’t seem to be able to pay together and neither of them had any real chances in the whole game, get Rhodes back in with either of them. Wallace did ok but we desperately need the Wallace of two seasons ago and I think he is at least one season past that now. Reach works hard, I think his game suffers becuase he is having to do so much, he also needs some help in midfield from another creative, hard working player.
For the next few weeks, this is as good as its going to get until we get at least 2-3 players back. Wed are 8 points above the relegation places, keep picking up points and we should be ok but we could really do with a couple of wins just to take the pressure off. Good to see him playing some youngsters, gives him a chance to see what we have. Thornily, Nielsen and Stobbs all looked ok today, they all just need experience to bring them on.
