Anybody lumping on Sammi to score 20 league goals? Probably not 1000/1 like BBD was but still healthy odds I dare say.

Also the reason why not bringing in another goalscorer may not be as important as first thought.

The goals will really be spread around this season 

Sammie and Siggy scoring for fun at the minute and I just sense that if Ennis can finally get some games he will chip in with a good few as well.

Enjoyable day all round.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Tronstadt reminds me of Mecky - for those of my generation. Industrious, unspectacular, link up play. Left foot in obvious awe of the right one.

Some obvious confusion between goalkeeper and defence early doors. For example, passing almost into trouble inside the penalty area, miscommunication between Hyam and our GK. These things don't appear on the stats but they're crucial.

It can't be easy for a keeper coming into a team leaking 3 and 4 goals per game. This is such an important position. We have to make the Wahlstedt experiment work. Juggling keepers is going to bite us on the ass otherwise.

Agree. Perhaps he was really genuinely our No1 target. I don't trust what the brass say but Leo seems to be doing an ok job in past couple of games.

I'd like to think with JRC back in midfield, albeit out wide as a youngster, that we may go ahead and get some recognised fb's in Jan.

Mad really, we don’t have a recognised CF available and started the season with just an academy lad fit. An attacking midfielder top of the divisional goal chart and yet us near the bottom and missing chances galore. Just shows that the crucial requirement is to be tight at the back and stop conceding cheap, cheap goals.

Think he's going on a " Diaz" run of form and will hit 20 this season?! Or will be be like Armstrong and we sell him to Southampton for 15m?

As I said, most of the shots were no-hopers so it didn't matter yesterday, but our goals conceded column shows it has mattered against better teams. Even Rotherham, who are worse than QPR this season, put a couple past us. It was fantastic to keep a clean sheet yesterday and there's nothing to complain about as far as the result or overall performance is concerned. Just a minor concern.

Yeh this is a big concern. We need to focus on our defence and that includes every player. Surprised with those numbers despite tronstad playing who's role was to control mf

That’s more like it. I got tired of opponents telling us how well we’ve played after they’ve won.

Who needs Diaz or recognised strikers?

A team with aspirations of promotion?

We didn't play terrible, he's just using that as another stick to beat the manager with.

Last season at this time it was, win = we're shit.

Progress?

Tronstad in my view did exactly what Tomasson brought him here to do namely keep the ball moving and recycle it. He was good in the tackle and creative when the opportunity arose. His fitness isn't quite there yet but I see enough to appreciate why we brought him in.

I thought he looked decent first game of the season at home, just off the pace. He also passed sideways a lot. He played safe basically. 

JDT said recently in an interview that Tronny needed to pass forward more. In midweek he looked a totally different player when he came on, every time he got the ball he looked to pass forward. 

He looks an old fashioned schemer to me, a No4 in old money, like Batty or Barker.

Hopefully he nails down the DM role and that allows Wharton to play a bit higher where he can hurt the opposition more with his through balls.

Haha, definite progress!

At least JDT has stopped losing games on purpose to get sacked 🙄

I know we didn’t, ‘we were shit and they were too’ is the flip side of patronising managers/opposing fans saying how marvellous the team they just put 4 past are.

Yes, would much rather see opposition fans and managers crying about how "awful" we are after smashing them, than getting empty platitudes after valiantly losing.

Oh well, I do love seeing oppo fans fuming about getting slapped at home by us, though. ❤️.

Sigurddson already looks like a Premier League quality player.
