Oh dear, oh dear - and another season starts with the usual let down! why is it that we start every season the same these days? surely Moyesy must have worked out the same as us fans now its happened a few years on the trot and realised its time to look at how our pre-season works. cos at the minute it just doesn't! we always look about a month behind the rest of the league every year now till October time which is crazy!
However, on the plus side my mates who went to the game report that we were unlucky to lose and played alright which is something I guess. They reckoned it was the same problems as last year - created some good chances but no-one there to finish them off. Also, our play up till the final third was good but a lot of the time we just couldn't make that final pass to penetrate. So we still need a goalscorer and a playmaker - also a genuine winger to add width to at least one flank would be nice too. Reports also came back that young Ross Barclay played well and looked at home in the first team which is encouraging for the season ahead. He looks a very good player and could be one of the bright notes this year.
On the down side - well we lost at home to QPR didn't we which is pretty bad. They're an alright team I guess but we should really be winning teams like that specially when they're still adjusting to the PL. Also, why is Rodders being played out of position constantly on the right of midfield? It is destroying the lads confidence and making him look worse than he is. Play him in the middle of not at all Moysey! And why take off Beckford for Fellaini when we were chasing the game? I know he didn;t have the best game but surely it made more sense to put another striker on not take our only off?
You have to remember though that its only the first game and we always start slow so no need to panic yet. Onwards and upwards as ever :-)
