Jeremy Sarmiento

He brought on Karl Joseph, which was a good change 'cause he stuck him up front with Will Lancashire, which gave their center-backs another body to think about, which definitely helped.

And Jeremy Sarmiento, who came on the left for Conway and was absolutely excellent when he came on.

And because of that, I think it put more pressure on Millwall's defense.

It forced them back, and Boro just upped the intensity in the second half and pulled Millwall around a little bit and put them under a lot more pressure.

You know, having Sarmiento on one side troubling their fullback, Aaronson overlapping him.

You had Kasey Deubry causing them an absolute nightmare on the other side, Britt overlapping him.

Yeah, we, we forced them back, and we were putting them under a lot more pressure, and thankfully we got our rewards.

Had we not gave ourselves more to do, then we probably would've come behind to win that game.

Again, you know, I think you really do see the differences in the squad depth.

I think, you know, to be able to have the options of Sarmiento to come off the bench, you know, to have Strelek to come off the bench, Pitt, Harris.

So, you know, they've got the makings of a very good squad.

And in Amari, Cosio, Dubry, I think they've got one of, if not, you know, a very outstanding winger in this league.

They then make a treble substitution at halftime.

And I think that kind of told you how frustrated Kim Helberg was with the performance in the first half.

So Berhalter goes off Conway and Borges for Aston, Sarmiento and Kyle Joseph.

Again, just that ability to bring on those types of players.

Five, seven, eight, nine.

Jeremy Sarmiento is a new player because he was on loan last season.

He's been signed permanently.

I said new signings.

There was a lot of quantity, but barely any quality in Borough's front line last season.

Obviously, Jeremy Sarmiento was still new to the squad, hadn't had a pre-season, hadn't had any football.

So maybe it was...

I don't think our judgment on him was harsh last season, but maybe we're seeing finally what he can offer.

I'm probably going to say Tommy Conway.

That's probably quite harsh on someone like Jeremy Sarmiento, who enjoyed a really good start to the season.

But I think Tommy Conway, what he brings to the team in terms of his work rate, in terms of his leadership, I think even just his spark.

I mean, what he's done in the last few games when he came on against Burnley, when he came on against...

like 60 mil ready for the

selling then so that's add on so the base fee Beliba 70 million Van Hecker 52 Karl Rushworth 22 Diego Coppola 22 22 million sweet he's number one by the way 17 million for Coppola he's stinky Danny Welbeck undisclosed very stink Jeremy Sarmiento undisclosed so they've sold quite a few Sarmiento's gone Batty Albion

he's gone to Borough

he's washed permanently to the borough so that's all of their business he could have

So that side of the game will appeal.

And it's something that Kim Helberg was praising Jeremy Sarmiento recently about as well.

The fact that he was doing all the defensive work, getting back and not neglecting that.

So I think having someone on the other side who does exactly the same will be appealing too.

He's obviously played for Luxembourg at senior level, but now he's actually playing for England under-17s.

One other one is Jeremy Sarmiento, who's Ecuadorian, who actually plays for Ecuador.

But years ago, England were so keen to have him.

They were making sure that he's been picked in all the 17s, 18s, 19s, 21 squads.

They looked a little bit shaken, a bit nervous.

But when they're playing, you know, players like Jeremy Sarmiento and they've got a £20 million world language just sat on the bench, you know, we can't match that.

And, you know, you've just got to hold your hands up.

And I think their team will certainly be up there come end of season in Championship, like McCann says.

But I felt just on the ball more than anything Morris was very slow.

I, I wasn't a, a huge fan of how narrow we were again, and I, I know you are technically speaking playing with two wingers, but I think when you're playing with Jeremy Sarmiento who wants to come inside, and also Mo- uh, Morgan Whittaker who wants to also get into pockets and, and not beat his fullback, it just felt a little bit squished.

And the thing that really annoyed me most about the performance today in the first half especially, and it is such a m- like a, a minuscule thing, but it, it did my head in because it, it only added to the feeling that we were so narrow.

Countless times in that first half the ball would come to Neto Borges, and instead of opening out, his first touch always takes him back inside the pitch.

And as I was saying to you at half time, and, and this is just a, a bit of a sweeping generalization, but most left-footers are, I guess, more technically gifted, more comfortable on the ball, and you expect someone like Neto Borges, a left-footer in general, to be able to take a touch, open out.

And, and Sarmiento was...

Despite what I've just said about him having tendencies that he wants to come in infield, he was actually pretty much standing on the touch line at times today, and yet Neto Borges would take a touch inside when he could just open out and play wide.

And it, it just...
