Some really good signs.

My concern at this stage is it seems with 2 actual strikers up top, and two attacking wingers, there is a real disconnect between our midfielders and point men. Niz playing up top last year he really played more 10, and neither of Kuol or Edmo seem that type of creative player. Both need service and not sure Tapp/Alfie can provide it from the deep.

I think a real key to this year and our success is Migzy and how he can potentially link everything together ala Niz.

This for sure.
Migz is a key component to getting Edmo on the ball in the right spots.

If Edmo and Kuol have the better experience in finishing big games I would also try De-Lima and Bradtmann starting games to try and piss off opposition as we find our feet in games.

And do a 5 midfield and try and get those combos with Alfie and Migz.

I thought Macalmont dropped to deep alot. Almost with the backs. To similar to Tapp maybe. Both Niz and Balard could move forward or back but both Tapp and Macalmont seem to want to be deeper and too similar.

He still gives me Bozanic vibes with the run around and touch it to the CBs with no real point. Was expecting a bit more from him the other night and i want to see him having shots from the top of the box as looks from there

Steele will help with this, if he can have a spell of healthiness.

Yeah i was wondering if Ronnie would have been better this year and he had creativity that maybe could of helped replace Niz. While he wasn’t a physical player he had some nice touches and passes.

Bit early to bag Fajio hard but he hasn’t looked good at all in either game and Ronnie might have been just getting through that adaptation period

Fajio does some amazing stuff but then follows it up with a poor moment. Still he looks better than Ronnie did to start with. I can see plenty of potential.

Mrs OH and I watched the Burriram vs Vissel Kobe game last night and our next opponents are certainly no pushover, so we are going to need to improve on our performance against Shandong.

Supachai in particular looked threatening all night and was unlucky not to score at least one goal.

Looking forward to the game but hoping we will be a bit more cohesive all round, as we have to win our home games in this competition.

Had some horrific touches the other night. Doesn’t seem to have the control you usually see with a Brazilian but will need time. His ball in the 2nd minute was good and we need more of that but didn’t do it again

Yep. I also felt Alfie was too deep. But thats his natural possie.

Got a feeling Tappy and Alfie won't be able to play together, early days but that's my instinct

Going to take a while to learn to play together as they like to be a in s similar position or Tapp is used to it from last year but can go further. At least they will have a lot of games together to develop
