I couldn’t really understand the downbeat and disparaging comments as to where we currently are as a squad, with many posters claiming we’d not really do anything this season.
Only one game in, but as a collective unit we look miles ahead of where we were last season. Players are much fitter and we look more organized and robust. Butler now actually reads the game and makes subs, we have more height and strength and won’t be bullied like last season.
Whitehall and Roberts were both off it, but apart from that we eased to victory without really ever getting out of second gear. Also to all the poster who were harping on about Butterfield as if he was the reincarnation of Zidane. Brogan came on and had the calmness and class which stood out at this level.
In my opinion if Whitehall doesn’t pull his finger out pretty sharpish I wouldn’t be surprised if we won’t be seeing Beestin and Carlton up front before too long. One potential problem is Roberts because going by that performance he positionally can’t play centrally. One word to describe that performance was awkward.
Brogan looked miles better and we as a team did as a result.
Kick down those Butterfield shrines folks, he’s long gone. I suggest you get building for Brogan.
