--------------------------------- We were much the better team and it had a feeling of the blades game last season. I thought they looked well organised with a bit of pace up front and I was pleased with how we negates them, particularly stopping them from playing out from the back. What does concern me is that we didn't force their keeper into a meaningful save and we gave away a soft goal that originated from a corner that we shouldn't have conceded. However, 6 games in, 13 points and only 3 goals conceded. If we repeat this over the course of the season we'll go up. For me , Costa for Harrison and Eddie for Bamford next game. Both have played better this year - I think Bamford's all round game has been good , apart from the finishing. Harrison has done well too but he can't cross to save his life. Costa in particular looks dangerous every time he comes on and needs to start. Thought the defence were excellent for 89 minutes and Kalvin was superb. I've slated Forshaw in the past but I've been impressed with him this season. We look a lot more solid with him, Kalvin and Klich in the midfield. Happy to be proved wrong! Dallas has played so well I don't see Ayling necessarily getting back in the team when fit. I think today was one of those days that answers the question as to why Pablo isn't playing in the prem. When he plays well we win but I think he was a bit off it today. Maybe that's a recruitment option in jan - another creative midfielder.
Made one of my rare visits on Saturday:- Home 3pm kick off which suits us. Agree with everything here pretty much. Next game : Costa, who looks dangerous for Harrison, who's not done badly. At the moment I'm edging towards starting Eddie over Bamford, but it will shorten an already very short team at defensive set-pieces. However is that a good enough reason to keep Bamford in? I'd keep Phillips, Forshaw and Klich together for the extra control it brings. It is not as though we are struggling to create chances. We have conceded goals v Bristol, Forest and Swansea after changing it round. Probably scored in other games though. I'm sure the lack of height in defence will cost us in some games, but overall I think White and Cooper give us more in other ways. I noticed the crowd around us beginning to get edgy after 20 mins, when we failed to take one of the early chances. At the end my daughter felt she needed to remind everyone round us that we are playing brilliantly and whatever the result it is/was only August.
