    Tombo got a reaction from The Scarlet Pimpernel in Knight playing Right back   
    I think we need to stop banging this drum. We don't have another first team right back aside from Oduroh, who has a lot to learn and I think he'll have a better second half of the season than he'll have a first
    Nothing wrong with Knight there. He defends well. He's not restricted there, he is a ball carrier from full back because our full backs play so high up and bring the ball out. He's an injection of energy in wide areas which helps NML or Barkhuizen or Dobbin or whoever is on that side with him.
    I think he's a more natural midfielder and that'll be where he plays most of his career, but I think we're utilising his abilities well with our system currently because he gets massive freedom to come out and support attacks

    We had this argument before, and we ended up adjusting to play Tom Lawrence up front and it worked. I'd trust any of McGoldrick, Dobbin, Sibley or Barkhuizen to take up that role. I'd wager that a more mobile player in that role will encourage defenders to try and win it higher up the pitch and leave space for them to run into.
    Maybe Collins is the only "number nine" we have, but what does that mean? He's not winning his battles right now, he's not all that tall or strong, he's not applying the finishing touch. Almost anyone could do equal or better right now.
    I know that's harsh but it's the way it is. I believe he'll come good but let's not kid ourselves, it's not just bad luck that's stopping him, he's not playing well at all. He needs a rest

    I'm not even remotely concerned. 7 competitive games played, 4 wins and 2 draws. We seem to want to ignore cup games for some reason, clearly doesn't fit the agenda.
    I am extremely confident we will have a good season. Not because the league is easy but because it is hard, and that's what seems to motivate this group of players this year
    First season in a long time that I am absolutely convinced and confident we will have a good year. Playoffs at the very least, which is my criteria for a good season. In 7 competitive games, we've looked like we've deserved to win every single one.
