Schofield seems like a nice guy, but you know where they say nice guys finish ........
The really worrying bit about your man Bromby's distance coaching is that it sounds pretty close to being right. Holmes seemed pretty much all over the place without adding to the sum of human happiness. Hogg looked like one of the main contributors to your play-off defeat and continues to give the impression that he's not only off the pace, but he's also not likely to get back on it in midfield - and sadly he's not a fearsome enough tackler to justify such a lack of legs.
Playing Koroma to the left of the attack so he can come inside on his right foot is a good idea if that is what was meant to happen. He'll lose the ball some of the time taking on a defender - that doesn't matter. But having him hug the left touchline and regard it like a security blanket is bizarre. Going outside and whipping the ball in has to be a surprise move. He isn't fast enough to skin his defender, but he is clever enough and has the skills to beat a man.
But despite his success last season Danny Ward is the worry. He was up against a career full back playing central defence and gave him such an easy time he was wearing headphones and reading a novel in the second half. If your forwards take no pressure off the rest of the team it will always crumble. They may decide to play the Birmingham game without netting with jumpers for posts. It's very doubtful either side will trouble them.
