Went to the game, first one of the season after the journey down from Scotland yesterday. I was happy with the team Pulis put out and, to be honest could not fault the endeavour. However, what we had in effort, we completely lacked in quality. After ceding possession for the first 20 minutes, we dominated the game but were wretched in our crossing and our finishing. Also, not sure what happened with their second goal, how Myhill was beaten by that was troubling. From where I was sitting, a few things seemed apparent, many of which have been aired here before. Phillips is real class and stood head and shoulders above any other player; Maclean has tremendous commitment and 100% but not much ability and made no real contribution - his crossing was terrible; Olsson is now a liability; sad to say but Fletcher's contribution was zero - he has no pace or drive in a position that is critical for us; Rondon works like a Trojan and holds the ball up well but he's not a great finisher and probably won't score more than 10 goals in the season, not a lot for someone who is our main striker. I think we desperately need another striker, one who is a recognised goal scorer, to play with Rondon, we need a dynamic midfielder who move the play forwards, not sideways and another centre half, preferably under 40!
