I think it's Farke's way of kinda covering up that he was wrong, by saying he wasn't quite showing the attributes for it til now. Dunno. It was a bit of a wordy answer from him.
As fuckin obvious from first game, Not so much Rutter the issue, it’s wasting Piroe. ( who looked like he couldn’t be arsed today) Looked so more balanced with Bamford in. middle at 9. Piroe want’s to play needs to up his game, make CF his or ship him out as well. Centainly not good enough for where farke seemed to want him before todays brainwave.

Thing that struck me is Rutter today was getting through the work of 2 men, helping the CMs and wingers whilst also picking up space in the hole. Compare that to Piroe being invisible in the 10, it's a huge difference.

Was so relieved to see Piroe used as a 9 today. Just hope he's up to the graft cos Paddy will inevitably be injured at some point. Paddy was brilliant today and has earned a run of games.

Willy is nowhere near Summerville's level is he. Or James' for that matter. If we can get decent money I'd cash in. Yeah he looked good in the prem for a while, but all he's done for ages now is just do pointless dribbles and pass it backwards at the end. Granted his appearances have been pretty sporadic this season.

How much of that comes from Farke though, Jimmy does similar a lot of the time. Does my head in this turn back, pass back etc.
We had a throw today right down in the corner, throw back, 2/3 passes and its back with keeper again. Fuckin dire tactics, especially when not even any real pressure from the opposition.

I'm hoping there will be less of the aimless passing around now he's realised square pegs in round holes isn't a great idea. I think we'll have more options on the ball now. Really intrigued how our next away performance will look.

There was plenty to be enthused about today.
Granted it was against a shite Brum team, so not getting carried away. Obviously jury is still out like.

As for Gnonto, I just think he's a bit boring. I rate James and Jimmy much higher.

Definitely take a decent bid for him.
