The trip to Germany ended with a 3 -0 defeat and another defender injured as Giles Phillips limped off just before half time. We started with a different XI to the one that started yesterdays game and it was good to see Charlie Owens getting a game. Hoffenheim are a decent team and you can never read too much into friendlies but to repeat what most have been saying for the last couple of years, we really do need a couple more decent defenders and a goal scorer.
I really hope that behind the scenes LF and his team are working to bring in the players we need or else this season is going to be another year of struggle.

I was just hoping that he had not scored because he did not play. Bang goes that hope 
Sylla does at least offer some 'poacher' goals, whereas Washington seems incapable of converting his superior work-rate into shots on target. Whenever I attend games I always try to observe the shooting practise at the end of the warm-up and it is usually unimpressive, with Washington the worst. Sylla does better, and the same applies in the matches. I am really sad that Conor Washington has not improved as I felt he would develop along the lines of Charlie Austin, but he has not.
