Our defenders just aren’t good enough in a 4.

Results were ok other than Middlesborough. We live to fight another day
Beat Sunderland with a vastly improved performance and everyone goes into intl break on cloud 9.

We played like we were 4 up not 2 down.. Wright not even close although giving him minutes was like we excepted we had lost the game. The 3 next games could be a hard watch if this performance is repeated.
That was genuinely one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a professional footballer.
It's every week. I swear they are getting us ready for VAR so we don't kick up as much of a stink about it.
He looks like that sometimes, with Wright I honestly think you can see how it's gonna go (in terms of his performance) in the first 10 minutes. It's strange he stayed on tbh as he showed nothing to suggest he would be a threat
Yes I have and it’s annoying me. He’s a midfielder, not a centre back. It’s not helpful trying to dictate play that deep
Wright clearly isn’t fit, looked an absolute mile off the pace. Bidwell had a shocker, lucky not to be sent off.
Don't dress up a fair few of our recent performances - we ain't been great.
Today not massively different. Law of averages caught up with us.
Stats say this also;

We've won one midweek away game in over 3 years.
The club need to start looking at why that is.
We just don't seem to be on it when its a midweek away.
Is it something in the pre match routine?

Think it's just one of them shit, flat performances you get from time to time. Defo deserves to be vented about on here though, it's therapy for having just watched shite i find.
Unfortunately it does make the Sunderland game a lot 'bigger'.
That is a weird stat, how many games is that out of?
In my despondency I can see us dropping out of the top 6 over the next 3 games.
You have to give him chances for that too happen. He plays the majority of the game 35 yards from goal with his back to it.
I was thinking this but couldn't be arsed to check and assumed it's probably just me noticing it when it happens and stats don't back it up. But that's shocking.
I have stated in the past I wonder if we should look at training times etc. to get the players bodies prepared for when the game is actually going to be played?
2 goals conceded in each of the last 3 games.
Maybe calls for a return to 5ATB not that daft.

Despite FL trying to say the right things about avoiding complacency, staying focused etc, we’ve ridden our luck the last couple games and our defensive frailties have surfaced for a few weeks now. That needs to get fixed pronto!
well that was an anti-climax but all runs have to come to an end. lets hope its like we've seen in past seasons, a one off bad result that we kick on from.
slightly worried it won't be as we've had some lucky escapes in recent games. big weekend coming up. Middlesbrough will fancy their chances against Luton so we need to be at our best for Sunderland. Get back to winning ways and things will be looking bright again, if we don't, and Boro pick up a win, we will be getting nervous.

Bidwell isn’t good enough for a team that wants to get in the top six
Interesting that - do we know roughly where we switched to 4 at the back. I’d definitely argue we were playing 5 at the back when it peaked on that graph
Had a feeling we’d lose tonight but didn’t think we’d be so pathetic… we started brightly and had a bit of a swagger but then just crumbled, pathetic.
352 would have been the way to go, seems to only play 433 to shoe horn in EMC anyway.
we saw the old Wright tonight, weak and didn’t seem one bit interested , terrible.

Last 2 times we’ve lost we’ve won next game.
I’d take the same on Saturday.

Will say Rudoni was a huge loss today, with his chance creation numbers.
Not one big chance tonight against a bottom three side. Hopefully he’s back after Sunderland
