Some thoughts and questions.
Last week we blamed the ref. Not possible this week.
Why o why does it take so long to get a VAR decision? I could have got from Isle 16 to the ice cream seller and back while they sorted out the offside or not for their disallowed goal.
Rufer is listed as our captain. Where does he fit in when he is fit? Suspect on the bench only.
We need to take the arm band off of Sail. He seems consumed by the captaincy thing in wanting to debate with the refs all the time. In the first half he rang 60 metres to get in the ref's face when a CCM player got a yellow obviously wanting it to be red. I think he has been watching too much egg ball. I suspect that the refs consider the captains job to be over after the toss up for ends before kickoff.
Speaking of Sail, he is starting to worry me as a goalkeeper, possibly believing all the good publicity he got last season. He could not have been more in no mans land for their second goal if he tried.
Kraev is also becoming a bit of a worry. He looked the goods in the cup games on tv but I have not seen a lot to impress in two games watching live.
I think we need to use Zwada more as a target man pushing high on the opposition centre backs. He has a great first touch for a big man but i have not seen him burn anyone in the two games for pace although i am not saying he does not have pace. Agree though when he gets on board with a goal, it could open a floodgate.
When Ball is fit and Sasse unsuspended, who is in our first choice attacking system?
Having said all of that, in the last "normal" season, Talay's first, we had zero points from the first four games. So, it could still be a bedding down thing.
