Delighted Jacko is in, think it's long overdue - and there's a goal in him, that much is certain.
I'm concerned - but as ever remain hopeful we will win.

4-5-1 based on the pre-match interview
Fair dues to Ogbene and O'Shea giving the anthem socks!
Fotmob has it pretty much like that tooQuote:

Nice to see Ferguson is already learning a bit of old fashioned Italian sh1thousing. Opening the keepers glove was funny
jesus christ Josh Cullen is such a bloody cheap ball merchant it's infuriating. Is he totally incapable of playing a ball forward into feet?
that pass from Ogbene inside to Azaz a minute ago was unforgivable to be honest. A simple six yard pass.Quote:

Taylor is going to get booked for his next tackle. Keeps leaving a sloppy foot in. His slow pass on the counter was criminal too. He adds some much needed physical presence, but he's sloppy with it.
So glad to see Doherty dropped from the starting 11.
I've counted 5 decent attack opportunities he's needlessly thrown away. I'd be bringing on Mcateer at half time if there isn't a major improvementQuote:

Ferguson's coming off here, isn't he?
Edit - no, playing on thankfully
Hefty blow to the head there for Ferguson.
After starting well we've now gone into the dip that usually takes opposition goal to snap out of
Taylor might have won a peno there. Should have gone down.
Why do the changes we make in one part, undermine the positive aspects that appear to have been worked towards previously?
Azaz shows positively in the previous windows playing centrally, looking to and getting onto, the ball. This window? We make him peripheral.
We make a positive move in bringing in Jack Taylor and we undermine this by unbalancing the team by putting Ogbene wide and forcing Azaz to do likewise. It's frustrating.
And I'm sorry, but the idea of having a kid who is 6ft 25 or whatever height he is, to take a long throw (anywhere) but more importantly on the furthest point away from his position is just stupid and is going to be punished at some point. Why not work on the throw-in routine to work the ball to Manning or Azaz to cross the ball for the the giant at the top of the beanstalk where he can do real damage?
He is obviously a great person but he is and always has been woefully substandard at this level.Quote:
