The Big win last Saturday settles the team. To be honest I am good with everyone in that starting XI except a bit concerned that our midfield is a little passive with Tavares in there. Hope he grows on me but seems to let the game go by him too much for my liking. Feels like he could be a good when we are on top, goes missing/becomes a liability when we are on the back foot type. Will watch him with interest.

 

Give him time, don't judge the newcomers on 3 matches.

Or even word escaping from Brockhall in July that was Tavaeres was a horribly useless signing...

I think that was DeNeve and I think they may be right.

Yes from early showings DeNeve and Henrikson look well below the standard.

Optimistic for Saturday, thought we did well against Brum then the big win last weekend. We look poor in attack but the new lads just signed plus rumours around a striker might change that by Saturday.

Im not writing him off, just some early thoughts.

De Neve and Henricksson have both been much worse than Tavares, but same as him i wont come till any conclusive judgements until christmas time.

So many examples of players who started poorly but improved significantly as they settled into the league.

Personally wouldn’t call less than an hour of football in the league “started poorly” but then that’s just me.

Who you on about?

De Neve looks a very poor player, Tavares doesn't look too  bad, Henriksson could hardly have played worse against West Brom, to me that's "starting poorly" but, he has a bit of pedigree behind him which hopefully suggests he'll improve.

Tronstad had a poor start but turned out to be a great player for us.
