Anyone else wondering if Bonne can have a Patrick Agyemang style purple patch this season?
He's got it in his locker. His career has been periods of scoring every week followed by prolonged dry patches.

Would have him ahead of Dykes. He at least looks like he might score

bonne has lead the line very well so far in preseason and is head and shoulders above dykes in the pecking order. he gets into the right positions, holds up well and draws people to him not to mention he's scored a few.
couldn't help but notice that chair looks better when bonne leads the line. i think its because bonne frees up the space for chair to move about more freely.
paal looked pretty good too. the team feels like its missing something in defence but i can't put my finger on it.

Last season showed Dozzell and Johanson are not a good partnership and that problem still exists under MB.

To think we got lumbered with the human canvas and let someone else benefit from the mc is criminal.

None of them are capable of running forwards with the ball?

None of them are capable of running forwards with the ball? Isn't that why he's playing a 4-3-2-1 though, with Chair and Willock in that role as the two?

We need more than two new players in. None of the fringe players have convinced at all.

Dozzell and Johansen do the same job, both are capable of picking a pass but neither carry the ball forward, isn’t that wasteful?
I don’t see Field in a million years being a box to box player like MB says he wants him to be.
All 3 current CMF being left footed don’t bring good balance.
Can you see any of those 3 breaking regularly from MF to support the attack?

He's meant to be a box-to-box MF. then the midfield 3 should be field, stef and amos with dozzell regularly rotating with and pushing stef for a starting spot. think we need another CM who can cover for amos and field too. maybe we have one in owens but idk how good he actually is, all i know about him is that he's been at the club since we won the league cup.

We need to be looking at CMF’s capable of doing more than one thing., SJ, Dozzell, Field and Amos have only one string to their bow.

Yes would prefer Amos to partner one of either SJ and Dozzell rather than todays lineup Stan.
