Observations/Opinions from today

[Sliced]

Tactically still a bit underwhelming but the goals at the end showed that the players are back fighting at least.

Good subs but arguably should have been made sooner.

England's number one? Nah

Early days but if I had a choice I'd keep Carroll also next season.

Not the ideal result but hopefully that finish will allow us to keep our heads up, given how mentally fragile our players seem to be.

I'd certainly keep Carroll next season.

Fuck I'd consider making him Captain.

Fuck I'd consider making him Captain.

Can he play centre half? Must have more goal line clearances than anyone in this league.

CORRECTED: Can he play centre half? Must have more goal line clearances in the Smethwick End than anyone in this league.

Regarding changing player's positions, I'd play Ajayi at right wing back. A couple of cracking crosses in that second half.     

In all seriousness, I was impressed with the one for Carroll's goal which he picked out when the chance to cross seemed to have gone.

I think he started as a centre back.
