I’ve got the same worry I had when Old and Zawada left, which is where the goals were going to come from.
I don’t think any keeper was able to replace Paulsen. I think the new lad will settle. He had a disrupted back line and he should be okay.
I look at the way we know instinctively where our players are, the way we can sling around one passing and the way we surge forward and I’m not hugely worried about the team.
We need someone to be decisive up front. We couldn’t quite find the pass or the ball, or deal with a two on one out wide. Surging forward and then retreating was annoying. We should have put the game away.
That said, it feels like last season we missed a very good chance to win the league. Other teams are strong again and we are perhaps going to take a while to find the sharp winning edge we had.
