2024/25 Tim Iroegbunam

[allen]

It’s easy when you break it up (ee ro boo nam)

I instinctively want to say Irrow-bunnum because it sounds more compact - but in the media it seems to be pronounced as you have phonetically spelt it there - bit more elongated.

How did he do today?

Showed flashes off his first game performance but struggled a bit.

I think this season its just about trying to get into 9th-12th range in the table.

Also hoping that Branthwaite, Dixon, O'Brien, Iroegbunam, Armstrong and Chermiti all make a positive mark over the season.

We really need the young players like Iroegbunam to step into their roles so next summer when many are out of contract, they can take their place.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Got very little joy out of that today, particularly in the second half.

Still - like Dixon, these experiences for the younger lads can prove valuable so long as they take lessons away from them.

Imagine coming from an Unai Emery coaching session into a Sean Dyche one

Proper feel for the lad.

Mate we are absolutely nowhere even close to being the 9th best side in this league.

Oh I know! We also werent the 12th best last season.

Its simply based on % football over the season and hoping our luck changes.

I thought he started well and faded a bit

We didn’t finish 12th then either.

We’ll be bottom third of the table for the entire season, and that’s being generous.

What position did we finish in the table on performances? Wasnt it 12th?

The points weren’t taken off at the end, so it doesn’t really work like that. We won games at the end of the season that we had to win given our points deductions.

Regardless - we won’t be top 12 this year unless something drastic happens.

Important to remember that we have young players coming into the squad and also those with another years experience.

Also that Dyche (i may be wrong) doesnt win at the start of a season.

Iroegbunam for example I expect to improve over the season...Garner, Chermiti and Branthwaite just three players we need in and around the 11.

Lets see how the team evolves by Christmas. I think we'll all be feeling different by then.

 

[Jozzy]

I think he struggled a bit today, was very rushed on the ball when in possession.

Certainly a good prospect and looks like he’ll be a good signing, but I just don’t know if he’s currently to the level of player that should be starting each week for us.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Thought he was decent enough today, but was disappointed at the way he went to block the 1st goal. Kind of threw himself at it while turning to avoid being bladdered by the shot.
