Plenty of huffing and puffing, but we don't look like we have a goal in us...
Obviously hope I'm wrong, but we're showing nothing in forward areas.
Seem to be decent until the final 3rd then we run out of ideas and just put a hopeful cross in, despite the fact we haven't got a player who can head the ball...
or in Furlong's case, a hopeful cross into touch. He's back up to his old tricks and one good performance in 50 doesn't make him good enough. A new right back is imperative.
Midfield duo all too happy to keep playing backwards and sideways ball. In Mulumby's case, often when there is a forward ball on. I know they played well against Watford but I'm a firm believer in playing your best players. Neither of these 2 are Prem class yet Yokuslu excelled there. He should be the first name on the sheet.
The only player really playing positive penetrative passes forward is Ajayi. Unfortunately his defending was p*ss poor for their goal. How can you let a big lumberer like Diaz take you on on the deck?
We just don't seem able to replicate our home form away. It was the same last season under Bruce when we we managed to beat Fulham and Bournmouth at home, but follow up with limp performances losing against Blues and Stoke.
Hoping for a better 2nd half but it seems to be the same old story under Bruce. The occasional great performance followed up by a lifeless, shapeless, limp performance.
We do have the better players so we should still get some result. But I wouldn't hold my breath that we're going to score 1, never mind 2 goals.
