We desperately need aerial ability and strength. 

You watch PL football and teams tend not to press as hard because that little extra quality will get you punished. There's a tad more respect and it encourages sides to play a bit.

Here you don't get punished so much. You're not up against the best internationals from around the globe. So teams will press freely. Less time on the ball. So it's inevitable the ball will go in the sky

Some teams are so uncomfortable with any pressure that the only football they'll play is after they've booted it right down your throat. 

You have to be able to compete in the air. You have to be able to win physical duels for a loose bobbling ball. 

We are truly poor at both. Tomori looks good when the ball is on the deck but he reads it terribly in the air. Surely he's destined for full back

Reading had 2 free headers and scored 1. Leeds scored 2 and had 2 free headers, Oldham had 2. Millwall today... And that's just chances. We are losing duels all over the place. 

Davies back and maybe move Tomori to RB? 

Mount is class imo but between Johnson losing the ball more often than he wins it and Bryson being weak off the ball and pointless on it in his own half, I bet Frank already has one eye on January.

It's not a crisis. But the team just isn't getting the respect that they got in friendlies and we look totally rattled by that.

Needs more than letting others get on with it imo, *shrugs* not a Hudds fan at all, but if Frankie thinks he's what's needed so be it.

rowetts anti football is no platform for any footballer to demonstrate any skill outside of keeping your position and kicking the ball into the channel. its no surprise thorne was less than impressive and others for that matter.
