I thought Pyke looked good and used his strength well 2nd half, but with Rose gone he seemed to be dropping deeper and his strength was less effective while holding up at the halfway line. Like to see him holding up like that outside the area with others around him for options.

Quoted from diehardmariner
I thought second half there was a moment, perhaps fuelled by confidence from his goal, where Pyke believed in himself and started bullying their defence for a good 10 minutes.  

Then as quickly as his confidence grew, it seemed to disappear again and he watched the play go past him.  

There's questions about his work-rate and if he's lazy.  Having made a point of looking at him on Saturday I'm not sure it's that he's lazy but more he's constantly on his back foot which leaves him too slow to react.  Good players react quicker than others, the better players anticipate before anyone else, the best will dictate where the play goes.  


Gary Birtles could have been described as lazy by the time he arrived with us. He certainly wasn’t quick when he played for us. His attacking brain was quick though.

With hindsight it’s clear we should have kept Orsi. We could have played 2 up top with Rose a bit deeper than him. With both Wilson and Rose fit he probably wouldn’t have started regularly, but with the injuries we’ve had he would have had plenty of minutes by now.

I expect PH was targeting other forward at the time we let him leave and we missed out on those. But Orsi is a good grafter and can finish, knowing how difficult it’s been to land our forward targets - there’s a bird in the hand lesson for PH there.

   I've been led to understand it wasn't that we let Orsi go but his wife wanted to move back down south.

I don't know but that's another crazy decision if you ask me.


On the face of it yes but Amos is injured and Efete has been much better at LB than Glennon has for a long time now.

Wow. That’s quite a statement, published on the internet in your name, forever.

We are seemingly football's version of The Good Samaritans when it comes to letting players go for their own ambitions  and wellbeing , However admirable , unfortunately with hindsight a few of those over the last couple of years have turned out to hinder us.

We seem to give them a wave off (assuming we can do better? )

But Orsi & Mani could and should have been  retained until we had better at least.

Yes I know Mani wanted to play , but I don't think anyone believes he would not have stayed for longer  with a couple of years contract and a rise .

We are getting tucked up regularly , the worry for me is the time is ticking on some of our more important players contracts already (Maher , Eisa & Clifton ).

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I don't think his real name is Hagrid.

No, I’m sure you’re right, although he has an IP address, but still….that’s quite a thing to allege/post.

Can’t imagine Man City letting Haaland go if he started pining for the Fjords.
