CONFIRMED Djibril Soumaré signs on Season Long Loan (obligation to buy)

[A Storm of Blades]

Needs to release the ball quicker but he'll learn.
More than decent debut I thought. Got a few tackles in and looks calm on the ball.

I know what you’re saying, but I actually think it’s the rest of the team that need to be brave enough to hold onto it longer. Too many rushing in possession and giving it away. Too many blind passes or layoffs going astray. Too much aimless hoof. I was fine with Soumare having the bollocks to keep it under pressure until he could find the right pass.

I thought that yesterday March showed he could cope with mens football but that he frequently held onto the ball far too long

I think the key to success is knowing when to release quickly and when to take your time. Pretty much everyone got it wrong yesterday.

Fair point. I just think there were 2 or 3 occasions where Soumare nearly got robbed, which would have let B'ham in on the break. You're right about our passing - it was pretty bad.

Is that you John Barnes?

There's only one way to beat them - get round the back!

This lad absolute dogshit then? Can't imagine another reason he's not on the pitch, had enough time to get his fitness up by now surely.

Neee two defensive midfielders - Peck and Soumare.

We've just looked exposed through the middle every game, Hamer just isn't effective in the middle because Peck is working on his own.

Its a sad decline so far when the players like Cooper, Burrows, Peck, Hamer and Campbell have gone from top of the league for much of last season to bottom as it stands now
