Honeyman - The key!

I think they're is a gradual change in what people expect and appreciate at our club.
For instance, for me, seeing one of our defenders absolutely clatter an opponent hard (and getting away with it free kick wise - no easy task these days) gives me as much enjoyment as a slick attacking move down the wing. Also I appreciate blood, guts and effort in a player as much, if not more, than outright silky-skills.
But I think people like me who appreciate those things are becoming a little fewer, and many people now expect to see skill and flair and find it hard to appreciate the more basic foundations of the game.
I dunno if it's a change in people's attitudes or just newer supporters getting involved.
Similar with the JE reign; some seemed to think it was a great move forward looking to play a different style of football, whereas I didn't enjoy it at all.
Not saying anyone is right or wrong, it's horses for courses I suppose.

I think most of the older generation believe the same because that's the football we were brought up on where it was not only the skilful players that were appreciated but also those that took no prisoners when making a tackle.
 
I like the idea of the front 4 being fluid, it happened a couple of times on Saturday where Esse drifted inside to the 10 and Honeyman covered on the right, the samexwith Watmore on the left, it makes us much harder to defend against.
 
Up until Saturday he’d struggled to find his form and had made some poor decisions and missed a couple of sitters. He’s a class act when on fire and must be impossible to defence against. A real nuisance of a player.

When I played, we all used to say that preseason was just training and games that were like training. All of us realised as we grew older and wiser that the season for most players doesn’t start until mid September when actually match fit. Your sharpness, anticipation and decision making takes a while. I see this in Honeyman and a few others. He will be back to his best after the international break. 100%.
 
Add Tanganga. Allows beck four to play up, pushing mods higher and result is more bods able to press and go further faster when we get the ball

pass and move is great football if you have the players that a capable of playing that way but you cant as someone like copper who has hoofed the ball all his career to change his way not fair on him or the team

I'm the same as you mate if the team put in a sift so be it
