And now he's back in the team because he the greatest or the others are crap?

All this time to gel business is about fine tuning. The first half against Sheff Utd has got nothing to do with fine tuning. No tempo, no desire, poor passing, simple mistakes. Its just an excuse that the fans are clinging to rather than think the latest group aren't quite as good as they hoped.

If they have watched the games and Im sure they have, they will have seen what everyone has seen. 180 minutes where we played well for about 40 minutes and gave the opposition 150 minutes to try and score. We cant keep using this excuse that every team we play is somehow a world beater and what...

Now your highlighting that Hussey doesn't suit this style of play as not all full backs play this style. I've got my UEFA b licence and coach youth team football. I think you've been listening to many TV pundits if you think all kids are taught to bomb on as full backs. This has only come to the...

Yes thats the biggest problem with our narrow midfield. Hussey needs an option down the line and an option inside. Football is played at its best in simple triangles and we not making it easy for our full backs at all. People say you can't play attacking football these days with 4-4-2, well I...

If Thorn said Wood was the best CB in the Championship why did he hardly ever play him in the Championship when he became manager?

Is that Del?

I understand where your coming from and AT has no where to hide this season. Hopefully he wont have to... and Im not talking about his weight.

Its way too easy and shows no respect or understanding to say yeah the new guy he's way better. McSheff has been a good player over the years but played badly when he came on against Yeovil. Fleck has been here 5 minutes and limped off. Before you start bigging him up for the Ballon d'Or lets...

Wow I bet you have a friend at every ground and does he like to whistle or something? I think you answered it well and highlighted that 4-4-2 is the good system for defending (shame we didnt revert to it for the last 10 minutes on Tuesday as we may have won), and unlike chess, players can...

Thats funny as I went with my brother and we both thought the attendance looked better than expected at around 15,000 as well and was quite shocked to find out later it was a fair bit lower.

Yes but isn't that the point of a forum, to vent your frustration or praise the team and people to offer different opinions. If we have to wait 10 games before anyone can give an opinion we may as well shut the site down for a couple of months or talk about the weather or the price of...

Are you doing this for a bet? I think the important point was Moyes played with 2 banks of 4 which according to some is out of date and dominated United who played a more "modern" system. If you think the 2 strikers permanently stand next to each other in a 4-4-2 and behind one another in...

Thats Moyes with his out dated 4-4-2 has he not been reading the 2012 boys book of football formations. Must get him a copy.

I think the time for gelling is over. They've had 3 competitive games plus training sessions plus some have had preseason together. Its only football, a game they've probably all been playing multiple times per week since they were 8 years old. They should be getting the hang of it by now.

I dont mean as a literal turning point as you say its way too early for one of them. Its more about expectations. I believed at the start of the season we could get top 6 but if we lose Saturday especially with a poor display then physcologically I will start to doubt this team can do it. All...

Okay so we've had a potentially tricky away game and a home game against the bookies favs. So home to Bury on Saturday is this the seasons turning point one way or the other? For me if we don't win this one and actually play for more than 30 minutes of the match I will be starting to doubt...

Its the new word for "we played crap but its okay because its still early in the season"

Gotta fell sorry for Elliot as we was the better of the two front players yesterday and everyone wants to kick him out for Ball who's done jack so far. I think if Ball has to play (and I've seen nothing yet to say he can play) when we needa bit of extra height we should take off the forward...

You need to be able pass and have a high work ethic to make the diamond work and the first half last night showed we had neither. Its sometimes difficult to pick out subtle changes in formation which make a difference but I think we slightly tweaked it in the second half which put us more on...
