    It’s like target practice for them. Just hope we can keep it respectable.

    Agree totally. Just let it fly when you’re around the 6 yard box. That’s what Shipley did the last game to score.

    Always felt Rose got his place back in the side too easily. Never thought Ostigard should have lost his place. Seems more steady to me than Rose. Now that’s he’s suspended for the next 3 matches, I hope Ostigard cements his place in the first eleven.

    Darn wish Godden got his boot to that! Wonderful chipped pass by Kelly.

    Pitch is getting waterlogged. Call the game off!!

    I do hope you end up being correct with your predictions. I agree that MR teams of the last few seasons seem to start the season slow and then pick up the pace and finish the season strong. I'd really like to see that this season as well. We are clearly getting used to the pace, strength and...

    No Dabo, Hamer and Shipley. Our squad seems a little stretched at the moment. Hope we don’t lose.

    Jordy Hiwula

    I beg to differ. Hiwula was given plenty of opportunities at the start of last season, but his returns were paltry. Biamou on the other hand seems to have a much higher rate of return than Hiwula. Also, Biamou has a better work ethic/attitude and has a knack for coming up big in crucial moments...

    Match Thread Brentford Match Thread

    The last couple is games our midfield has been overrun. As a result, there is no bridge between our defence and attack. It may require 1-2 players (like our wingbacks) to be played in slightly advanced positions. But it’s not like they are not already used for attacking purposes anyway. This...

    I never said to drop COH. I said to play our best 11. Please refer to my other threads.

    Match Thread Brentford Match Thread

    Freaking hit the bar vs Barnsley and now vs Brentford. No luck. Only deciding to play after we go 1 or 2 goals down in every game. We look shell-shocked in many games and totally devoid of any confidence.

    Pask sucks Sheaf keeps giving the ball away. Alien just runs around and does nothing. Will be 4-0. We are clueless. We don’t even know what to do when we are in the final third. I fear our morale will be shot after this. League 1 here we come.

    Been saying 451 for the longest time in other threads on the forum. We have to pack the midfield as it’s non-existent at the moment.

    Possibly. Think we should play our best 11 per my earlier comment. I realize some players may be deployed out of their normal position, but not too far off where they usually play. Could be worth a try.

    Caught between 2 styles

    To add to my prior comment, I think we should play a more compact and counter attacking style of play that packs the midfield to stifle the opposition like a 4-5-1. Play shorter passes and navigate around the opposing midfielders who have been pouncing on our misplaced passes where our players...

    Caught between 2 styles

    I think we might have to change formation and style of play against the better sides in this division. We're too predictable and that becomes a problem. Teams are pressing and easily picking the ball off of our mistakes and giveaways. Perhaps we pick the best available XI, pack the midfield in...

    Midfield

    It’s a huge gulf between League 1 and the Championship. Bournemouth are as close as it gets to a Premier league team (as would Watford and Norwich I’m sure). I agree our midfield is weak and cannot seem to bridge our defence to our attack. We are vulnerable to the press and need to realize that...

    We should have beaten Barnsley. That was a missed opportunity. We should have gotten a point against Bristol City as well. Bournemouth were the best team that we've played so far. It could have been worse than 3-1. But I feel we should have played a little bit smarter and not given away the ball...

    Hamer

    Hamer should have kept his cool and not stupidly lashed out so close to the referee (what an idiot). He's played 3 times and already should know the no-nonsense attitude of refs especially after earning a yellow and getting subbed at Bristol.
