Totally agree.PLM going back to France and Tzolis off to The Netherlands. Disappointed about PLM, good player who was underused and played out of position for much of last season.

Perhaps they've found another injured one!Another midfielder incoming apparently, although we seem to have bought two of them already who were injured.
Seems like de ja vue, not having a team ready for the first games.Perhaps they've found another injured one!
Or some sort of tactic that is recognisable.Seems like de ja vue, not having a team ready for the first games.
I get the sense that Smith wants to persist with Pukki but it doesn't seem to be working.Or some sort of tactic that is recognisable.
Mainly because Smith doesn't seem to realise that Pukki needs through balls to be successful, not crosses like Hugill. Like I've said, not a bloody clue.I get the sense that Smith wants to persist with Pukki but it doesn't seem to be working.
I think Smith has been using both methods in pre-season with a view to the likes of Sara or Cantwell providing the through balls to Pukki with Rashica or Rowe (possibly) the crosses for Hugill. Both options could work individually or together, depending on how Smith sets up the team. A mate of mine used to watch Brentford when Smith was in charge there and he raves about how entertaining that team was.Mainly because Smith doesn't seem to realise that Pukki needs through balls to be successful, not crosses like Hugill.

I agree with you on our preseason tactics, it was noticeable that we weren't supplying anything of note to Pukki, and it's worth noting that Sara is not a creative player, he hasn't a record of assisting or creating goals.I think Smith has been using both methods in pre-season with a view to the likes of Sara or Cantwell providing the through balls to Pukki with Rashica or Rowe (possibly) the crosses for Hugill.

Looks very similar to Sara, Sargent and all our midfielders, not much end product.That YouTube video has got me very excited. He’ll either turn us down or be crap
