Uh good debuts from Lisby from Arconte from Metcalf.

Um, whereas Bristol City and Skubala start the season with two home defeats to nil, one to Walsall in the Carabao, one here.

You know, it is the first league game in what to me really looks like a new era on and off the pitch.

So I don't want to go overboard, particularly with a red a first half red card, but I will just voice some concerns now rather than kind of after.

timing and saying, Yeah, I was always worried about this.

So you signed Tolai and Ballard.

In isolation, I have no major issue with that.

They spent a lot of money.

That's the area of the pitch that they focused on and that's fine.

But

If you play two up top, which I think if you sign these guys, you kind of have to, right?

Yeah.

There's no point signing Talai and Ballard for quite a lot of money each, and then being like, right, Ballard, you're off the bench and Tulai will start the game and you'll finish it.

It doesn't really make sense.

But and Ballard is a is a sort of guy who did play up front on his own for Orient last season, but playing for Orient and a Richie Wellens team in League One, not very comparable, I don't think, to playing up front to for Bristol City in the championship.

So probably someone that will benefit from playing with

So play those two up top as a starting point, absolutely fine.

But then you have to make sure the rest of your team actually supports that, right?

There aren't many teams that play two up top in the league in modern football, to be honest with you.

So you have to make sure the rest of the team is set up and has players in the right positions with strengths that complement what you're going to do at the top of the pitch.
