Bang on apart from the strikers bit which I disagree with.
Like you, I don’t want to sound like a broken record on one player (agree on MPH by the way), but it’s no coincidence we create hardly anything for Vipotnik whilst Bianchini seems to get at least one glorious chance for every half hour or so he gets and they are dropping to EOM too.
They read play properly and know when and where to make runs. Vipotnik just doesn’t. The ‘we don’t create enough for him’ excuse is wearing very thin now, when we create decent chances for other attacking players relatively consistently. |

I get that completely. In his defence, he’s not the only one. He just posts more than most people
Is it reasonable to expect other people to view games objectively? Maybe it’s not. |

I don’t think you’ve got any idea how out of his depth Vipotnik is.
I’d actually persevere with him because we aren’t going anywhere this season and he does have flashes of quality. He’s miles off at the moment though.
20 shots, 10 on target (Luton 8/2 respectively) and you want to pile into the man ‘everything has to go through’. |

Yes I get that. On the day I’ll want to get one over on our old manager as well. Same with Cardiff game etc
I’m just pointing out we’ve got eight more important games before then and he may well not be in charge at that point.
I hope he’s not, because this circus over what was essentially an average manager is boring already.
It will be roughly a year from when Williams took over and we got absolutely annihilated by Bournemouth. I’ll be more interested to see how we get on in a comparable fixture now he’s had plenty of time to put his stamp on the team. |

We’ve got eight games before we play Southampton, all of them are more important.
With any luck he’ll be sacked before we then and we’ll treat it like a normal FA cup game. |

Wes Brown saying exactly what was glaringly obvious to many of us at the time.
Could still earn us a couple of million if he finds last seasons form though. |

The only positive there, same applies to Bianchini, is he’s getting in positions to miss easy chances.
I’ve no doubt Vipotnik would have buried a couple of the chances both of them have missed, but he can’t get the first bit right. |

I agree with this. He’s got Morgan Whittakers attitude without the talent to back it up.
Doubt he’ll be starting games for long |

There isn’t unfettered praise for Grimes on here.
Rightly or wrongly, he’s our most criticised player by a long way. Sometimes justifiably, often for things that are nothing to do with him. |

Bianchini manages to get involved when he comes off the bench and he’s far from the finished article.
I’ve been very critical of Vipotnik as I think he offers very little. However, I think his main problem is his inexperience.
I’ve pretty much written this season off as one where we don’t trouble the top 6 or relegation places. I can’t see us putting a particularly good or bad run together. We ‘may’ have a good striker on our hands by next season if he can learn to impose himself on games. The willingness is there and he’s clearly got shooting ability, he just doesn’t quite seem to know what he’s doing yet.
I think we’ll have quite a few frustrating performances punctuated with the odd goal before he gets there though. |

It’s a lot harder carrying the ball through a congested midfield than it is down the touchline. I think the calls for Key at *10 and now Tymon in central midfield ignore that.
I think Eom is our best suited player to that type of role. |

People will (correctly) say he’s a central midfielder and shouldn’t be on the wing.
To me though, he just looks a long way out of his depth. Being out of position shouldn’t make him do the absolute basics wrong and look like a rabbit trapped in headlights.
Very early to judge him, hope I’m wrong, but he just doesn’t look good enough. |

Neither Tymon nor Key are helped by the players ahead of them. Both would be a lot better with a Routledge type who will drift infield for them to overlap, play little one twos to get them round defenders and slot in to cover them when they bomb forward.
Eom could possibly do that. It’s not Ronalds game and Peart-Harris probably shouldn’t be there. |

Presumably wasn’t fit for 90 minutes. I wouldn’t expect him to be after that long out.
It’s the same reason Allen plays an hour or so and doesn’t start midweek if he’s played on the weekend. Ronald and Franco rarely play full games either. |

When a player passes backwards, it’s invariably because of the options available to him. We need to sort out the movement ahead of him to get him making progressive passes. That’s not specific to Tymon, it applies to a few of our players, particularly those that carry it forward. |
