    I'd be terrified defensively with that setup. Hyam, Rose, McFadzean would all be exposed for pace in a back 4 plus you'd lose most of your attacks from wide. I wouldn't mind seeing Sheaf, Hamer & Kelly together though but in more of a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-1

    I don't disagree with that but as I said there are other factors & against superior opposition we can't always be on the front foot. Look at Leicester's gameplan vs Arsenal on Sunday, they played without a recognised striker & literally sat back & defended until bringing Vardy on - Rodgers was...

    What I'm picking is that it's absurd to be judging after only 8 games, especially when the quality of opposition has been completely different. Brentford were 17th at this stage last season & ended up missing out on the Premier League by a whisker. Nobody thinks we've been doing well but there...

    We should be aiming to finish above them yes, nothing to say we won't though is there? We've only played 8 games... Of course who has played who is relevant. You'd fancy your chances against Wycombe (the only team they'd beaten before tonight) more than against Bournemouth wouldn't you? They...

    They had a 60% bigger wage budget than us in 2019 when figures were last released, I'd call that pretty significant. Do you not agree that they've had a much more favourable run of games than us & still struggled?

    How is that inexcusable? A) They have a bigger budget than us & substantial Championship experience. B) They've had far easier games so far

    Yet people slated Sheaf (our highest with 73%) as constantly giving the ball away & gave him 3/10 whilst saying how good Hamer was. Bizarre.

    Utter drivel. But for that one crazy ball, Sheaf was pretty good - between him & Østigård for MotM. To rate him lower than Shipley whilst giving Hamer a 6 is bonkers.

    See, I think we very nearly got it right. We frustrated them for 80 mins & in fact were growing into the game, just before our subs we were starting to really get a foothold with Hamer & in particular Sheaf starting to dictate. We weren't playing for 0-0, we were playing to nick it late on &...

    Exactly. Herein lies the problem, so many underestimated the huge step up to the Championship. Most sane fans would accept staying up on goal difference given the gulf in quality & resources. Yes, things need to improve but we still have a chance to do that. Some perspective is needed.

    Sheaf starting to dictate now, like that. Time for O'Hare or Walker to replace Shipley now surely.
