Early days and Ive only seen the Wycombe game, but thought Tommy Rowe looked a lot better (and happier) in that new position in the centre of the park.
When you say ‘you guys’, who do you mean? Everyone who puts messages on here?I don’t go along with that theory at all. You’re putting 2 and 2 together and making 4 hundred!The word coming from the players is they’re all enjoying the system and why wouldn’t they? 2 wins, 6 for and 2 against, they’re not going to say anything else, are they?The inclusion of Kane into that midfield 3 has made everyone’s life a little easier and imho it has had the effect of raising Whiteman’s game as well.Winning breeds confidence, which in turn increases the chance of winning more. The players to have the most impact on our first 2 games are, arguably, Wilks and Kane. I think Tommy is no different to the rest of us, it’s easier when you’re winning - playing and supporting.
For me Kiwomya brings nothing to the team, he looks light weight, and where is this blistering pace that he's supposed to have. He's had a full pre season now ,and i know it's early doors , but for me he needs to step it up and start showing why he deserves a shirt, and a bit of aggression in his play would help .

Give him a chance. There is definitely the potential. Looked 10 times the player he did at MK Dons last season. Yes I know Sat wasn’t great. Needs to get head up a bit more at times and do the basics better.
My observationsMason last season was reluctant to get forward at left wingback, he was on his weaker side all the time, on Saturday we saw a different player at right back in a back four, joined in attack at the correct times and attacked the byline, something he rarely did last season. What a difference it makes having a right back at right back and having a left back at left back. Copps needs to be played in that front three just behind the strikers in a 4-3-1-2, which effectivley becomes a 4-4-2 when we haven't got the ball. Herbie Kane is better than Jordan Houghton, at 19 years of age he commanded that midfield like a seasoned pro. As others have said Tommy Rowe will thrive in that midfield position. Malik Wilkes needs to get his head up more and see other players, he's strong and quick and can cause problems, but sometims Malik you need to pass the ball.
