A wins a win. Onto the next match

win.
clean sheet.
you're never going to play well in every game but dominant nonetheless

Yes agree mate. good to dominate and win when not played well. mark of a good side. Bristol City will give us more of a test at the weekend but again we should be good enough to win that one.

A win would be huge going into the international break with Gnonto and Spence to come in on the return.

Struijk loos so much better with Rodon alongside him compared to having Cooper there.
Agree Spence at RB is a must.
I see Leif Davis continues to play well for Ipswich and if only we had him slotting in at LB.
Also agree Piroe is a bit of a waste at 10 and for me Rutter out wide or as the 10 looks a better fit.

Byram is better than Davis anyway

I agree

Looks totally lost at times at 10 does Piroe. Rutter is much much better playing a bit deeper..

I think farke is still learning about his players and the team is a work in progress. wouldn't shock me if rutter and piroes roles changed

The thing is, Piroe's all round game has never been the best. He's a great ball striker and finisher, but he doesn't stretch a back line, he doesn't link play, and he doesn't press high. He's in the 10 because he can't press high, and being a bit deeper means he, in theory, can get more opportunities to strike from distance, which is one of his strengths. Moving him to 9 may be more effective, but the front line is so fluid, i doubt we'd notice any difference beyond where they're named on the team sheet.

fair points

I do wonder if the we will bring in a good 10 in Jan. could be the final piece to give us a major push
