    Technically true but misleading as it is removing all context. Back 4: Pl 6 W 2 - Cardiff (H), Sheff Wed (H) D 3 - Derby (A), Birmingham (H & A) L 1 - Forest (H) 9pts -1.5ppg Back 3: 26pts from 28 games - 0.93ppg So we've only ever played a back 4 on 6 occasions, all of them against teams...

    Got to still include Derby in there too, beat them on Saturday & we'll be level on points.

    I'd probably go with: Maroši Dabo Rose McFadz Østigård McCallum Hamer James O'Hare Walker Gyökeres

    This is the same fan base who used to berate Stern John remember, one of the best strikers we've had outside of the Premier League. Seems we'd rather have a trier who runs around near the halfway line than anyone actually in the box to score goals.

    Correct. We often start well & you can usually see the intent straight from the off - wing-backs nice & high, forward 2 linking up, O'Hare causing problems. Then the other team start to impose themselves & sometimes their superior quality wins through. It's not just us, at every level of the...

    Well, none of us know the ins & outs for sure of course, but that's the belief. Why would you sign a player to help you avoid relegation but then not be able to play him in case you get relegated? It would be completely illogical. The world nowadays just loves a conspiracy theory.

    A) We're not obligated to sign him if we get relegated B) Why would he even be on the bench if he wasn't an option? You're basing this on the fact he's not played for 2 games despite featuring regularly before. It makes no sense.

    They only had 2 - the 2 goals. Neither keeper even made a save. It was a game devoid of any real quality.

    So who do you sign on a free for the same wage as Baka that is capable at this level?

    You're not getting it are you? In an ideal world we would replace the likes of Baka, we know for a fact we were happy to let Biamou leave etc but can't simply do it in one window, we don't have the budget to do it.

    No they've yo yo'd between divisions, increasing their budget as a result & with a business model to find undervalued players they have slowly overhauled the squad with players capable of playing at the higher level. They only stayed up on a technicality last season & now their patience with the...

    So just have a squad of 15? And then 6 or 7 get injured... Just forfeit every game? 🤦🏼‍♂️

    And then barely be able to field a team when injuries hit?

    Because it was an obvious thing to target v Brentford as they're obsessed with playing out from the back & won't adjust their game plan, instead backing themselves to play through the press. Middlesbrough & Blackburn don't play that way. Somebody mentioned about McFadz dragging us deep, that's...

    Funnily enough, I nearly posted a few mins before the goal that I wouldn't change anything except Gyökeres for Biamou but hey... I'm sure if we made all 5 subs & threw away a point because of it people would moan then too.

    Or it may have backfired & we threw away a point at which point he'd also have been crucified. Who'd be a manager eh!?

    Do they have a League One squad? Do they have the same budget as us?

    But that also runs the risk of losing the shape & losing what would have been a credible point hence most changes are like for like. It's a difficult one.
