Thoughts on today's game
- Delph did well
- Defence looks much better, glad to have a motivated Warnock back, very strange what happened with him last season. (I know he went mad at club but why)
- In terms of midfield really feel we need a defensive mid to cover/challenge Petrov. Delph seems to have bulked up a bit so maybe they see him doing this. Interesting to see them put Clark in there. Not sure if it was out of necessity or experimentation but I thought his best games last year were Blues at home and Fulham away both in CM. Maybe a new Barry on our hands.
- Though game highlighted our current plight well - Neither Heskey, Gabby or Bannan are wingers. We are light in this area even with nZog coming in.
- While the youngsters are exciting we would be wise not to rely on them (showed today but two poor passes from Clarke and Albrighton).
- With Makoun, Delph, Bannan, Ireland we have some real ball players and we may see ourselves playing some good stuff at times.
