    Raphael

    Just very raw, naive and not used to the physicality of the league yet. It’s great he wants to take people on and try and drive forward, but he’ll need more in his arsenal to succeed doing in doing that. He loves a heavy touch too. All things that will improve with experience and top coaching.

    Honestly don’t think anyone comes out of today with any credit at all. If you really wanted to push it, you could argue: Rudoni - didn’t hide, decent technique and in tight situations as always, but wasted out left and poor set pieces today (unlike him) Kitching - stepped out with the ball a...

    I can sort of see that, but in reality it looked like Thomas was man marking Clarke, so being dragged all over the place, Lati was tucking in the cover and therefore leaving acres of space down our right/their left which is where we kept being overloaded. Where as JDS seemed to be playing more...

    I genuinely don’t get the shape. If you are playing RM/LM (Saka and Rudoni today), what is your role? You’ve got a WB behind you and a CM the other side. If you get the ball you’ve got one player ahead of you. When those players are a WB who won’t overlap and can’t play, and two CM’s not known...

    Lati has been shite but in his defence playing him RWB is mental.

    20 minutes left, same defensive shape, same absolutely exposed RWB, still 2/4 midfielders who can’t create. Not sure Frank got the King FA Cup message.

    Sakamoto is fine. He’s playing right midfield with a RWB behind him so naturally that doesn’t work, plus it’s. RWB who can’t overlap. He also has a striker who can’t play the lone role ahead of him. Judge him when he’s had time in his as actual position.

    Let’s not get too despondent. It’s a strange formation with players out of position / not on form playing. Play an actual formation, tactic and actually attack and we have a chance.

    If you were playing for us would you want the ball? Attacking movement is non existent. Got to get more offensive players on second half.

    Repeating this as they look vulnerable especially to crosses.

    Thomas is essentially man marking their 47. Hope the defence are set up to be pulled all over the place.

    They have a Championship defence so we will get chances.

    We fucking love shooting ourselves in the foot. In real time it didn’t look a pen.

    More worried about Lati RWB than JDS LWB. The latter is covered by Kitching which we have seen work well (or at least better than Binks). Lati has no pace and at WB there’s so much space behind to cover, so either he’s a sitting RWB or we’re in trouble. Also concerned re BTA. Literally...

    As my penance for three home games in a week I’ve been dragged to Fosse Park this morning. I hate shopping and especially places like this where people seem to lose their shit while shopping. So: 1) I cannot wait for that pre match pint, on my own, away from this madness and I can get excited...
