hi all
from what i gather i think we are being a bit harsh on the side lets look at some points
preseason - who wasnt injured and who didnt just join the club and who left. this team has had almost zero time together as a best 11 on the park. the injuries to ashton,huckerby,mcveigh, safri, jarret, shackell(mumps), jarvis away now unjured, hughes is new here, marney new mlj new colin new. i believe we are 3 weeks away from full fitness as a squad and cohesion as a unit barring further injuries.
first game - alot of hype and excitement but really when isnt the first day of the season not an anticlimax.a few debuts so and an emergency midfield and well doherty in defence has a shocker. we did not lose
second game - vibe seems that we were better than in the first game and we gave a first run out for a couple of the wounded so that is encouraging rusty strike force but that will surely change with games. we did not lose.
home form - unbeaten at home so if at the end of the season we have 14 wins, 7 draws, 2 losses almost 50 points not bad at all really - my point 2 points at home in the first 2 games is not a disaster.
tactics. i noticed something today we have had 21 corners which means that the ball is up the right end often but we have not scored from a corner yet. i asked a former everton captain and defender about this and he said he would expect 4 goals from that many corners. your thoughts from being there are great keep them up
