Is a modern 6/8 hybrid what in a gentler age we called box to box?

Yeah, but you gotta Pep it up.

He's only going to be as good as the players you pair him with. Yesterday he had Bergvall who has tons of glaring holes in his game as a CM (the hype does no where near match his ability) and Gallagher whose best aspects are all when he's not touching the ball. It was a brick midfield with 0 balance, the result was to be expected.

Tend to agree with this, i have never been a big fan of Gallagher and Bergvall seems to have hit the ceiling in his progress. Now i think Bergvall has ability but at the moment he is struggling to show that. Not unsual it such a young player.

Robertson, Gallagher and Bergvall are the players who should be coming on as subs in the second half, as fresh legs and energy against tired(ish) opposition. Not starting unless we have injuries.

I know yesterday was just the first game and some others weren't fully ready for the start of the season for various reasons, so I'm not too worried yet, although disappointed.

The whole back four had never played a competitive match together against premiership opponents, so unsurprisingly they were over ran by a settled Brentford attack. Maybe Danso should have been in there in hindsight. But it will (needs) to show signs of improvement over the next few weeks, some green shoots would be nice quickly...
