Haha - fair play mate, not really something I'm good at just yet.
Genuinely though, I'm very serene about things at the moment. I was the same in Poch's first season as well - if you see the fundamentals falling into place, then the actual results don't matter too much because they'll inevitably come.
I see what Frank's trying to do. I don't disagree with his caution, and I think he has the right coaching staff, approach to games and tactical flexibility to get results. Right now we're playing with the handbrake on because of Frank's unfamiliarity with coaching at this level, plus our ridiculously poor record last season. But as we (and Frank) grow more comfortable in our skins, we'll take more risks and get better.
The fundamentals are there - patterns are there. Just needs a few tweaks at the coaching/personnel end, and more chemistry from the players' perspectives.

I think as works in progress go, I'm absolutely comfortable with this, thus far

I didn’t think they were that bad personally. They were very solid and well organised. Helped that we were fudging dreadful second half.
Really frustrated with the performance and result but relieved to get a point in the end.
Thought the players tried but we were massively short on quality.
On the crowd, thought they were decent through the game. But people fudging off 10 minutes from time in their droves and others booing at full time? Really disappointed with that.

Said he wasn’t happy with the draw and these are the games we should be winning, especially at home. Also said we played well in the first half but second half wasn’t good enough.
We don't seem to be able to get the balance right at home. Our 3 good performances this season have all been away. In 5 home games we have been average against Burnley and very poor against everyone else. Having only Richie as a fit striking option certainly isn't helping. And if Kudus isn't doing it, no one else is creating anything and moving him to the left for the insipid Johnson is an act of negligence i hope Frank doesn't repeat.
At least we got a point which has been rare against this opponent recently but results are better than performances currently on home ground. Hopefully just work in progress/ teething problems.

I’ve liked Frank so far despite being disappointed tonight. He’s just done common sense things and made us look pretty well coached. Like you, I’m optimistic about our future under him but I’m not quite sure where the ceiling is yet.Haha - fair play mate, not really something I'm good at just yet.

But they’re a bad team at the moment. They just lost 3-1 at home to Leeds. And it wasn’t exactly backs to the walls for them in the second half. They’ve not managed a single point or clean sheet in 5 games before tonight.
Wasn’t at the game but people leaving early is pretty standard. Scraping a draw at home against the worst team in the league isn’t good enough. There’s a time and place to boo, given the opposition and performance i can’t exactly say I’m surprised even if I wouldn’t have booed the performance myself.

First half I thought we did create some good chances. Should have scored. It feels like the opposite problem to lsst year when we were short of defenders. This year, our injuries are mostly in attack and we seem to be treading water for now until we get some of those personnel back to give us more options.

Never leave early.
From my limited experience I thought the first half atmosphere was good, but it got very rest very early second half.
Was awful towards the end.

I think the players are good, I’m not saying they are title challenging standard but they are top 6 standard, with the only question being Bergval as in the 10 role as that might not be his best position.
I just saw a stat on the very low amount of open play XG we’ve created this season though, so I agree that our attack isn’t really clicking and is not good enough in a certain way.
Sarr has been injured recently so possibly not ready to start? He & Bergvall our only real progressive options in CM though
I'd prefer to see 4231 in these sorts of games - Bergvall/Sarr + Palinha/Bentancur and then an AM 3 of LW + Simons + Kudus

Gotta play Xavi centrally in a game like that. Have him picking passes with Odobert and Kudus as the tricky wingers to push them back.
