Agree that they both look sluggish, but in fairness by hook or by crook we haven't conceded too many so far. Our problems are in midfield and at the top end of the pitch.
I think it's more luck than judgement tbh. Middlesbrough, goal came from a penalty which was earned from a winger. Goal for Cardiff came from open space on our left side and today completely open down our right for their goal.
In fairness Tymon isn't bombing down anywhere soon, he's blowing out of his ass and lunging in after 20 minutes...
I always look at the replays of the goals on the Saturday EFL show. It’s like watching Groundhog Day ! Tymon waltzes forwards, leaving a plot of land you could build 2 house on behind him. This Is duly filled by the opposition’s attacker, who runs straight through on goal. So if we play Ji-Sung Eom on that same side, it’s even worse.From what I've seen so far this season I think Key is too slight for Championship football. He simply doesn't look strong enough, looks like he needs to do a weights programme in the gym.
Tymon on the other hand, I think he can cope physically but he appears to have zero recovery pace when asked to run back towards his own goal. Kind of problematic when you're a full back whose primary function is to deal with wingers who want to run in behind you.
We're struggling everywhere at the moment. Only the keeper isn't giving me heebie geebies, I think we've managed to find a good 'un there. But the rest of the side right now....
If the full back attacks then another player needs to fill in the space left by the attacking full back. Unless Pep has invented a way in which a player can be in two places at the same time, I'm sure what Tymon can do.I always look at the replays of the goals on the Saturday EFL show.

You have a wingback who can’t defend, and a wide man who can’t tackle. Our scattergun recruitment policy has a lot to answer for
I'm less bothered by Tymon being caught out when high up the pitch and more concerned about when he gets caught out time, and time, and time again when he's <10 yards from his own box. He was one of our few bright spots last season, so I've no idea what's happened during pre-season, but he's been miles off it so far.
