I know Maatsen's not that tall but as he plays in a position that requires a decent defensive understanding you'd think you'd have him back and push the more attacking Jones up front.

But then there'd have either been gaps between their lines to exploit or their whole team has to step back 10 yards and they can't high press us, which caused us issues.

Games like last night and Luton it appeared he had two left feet! But to be fair to him he has also had a few excellent games, so it's a consistency issue. I think MR needs to recognise those games he's off the pace and be willing to change it. It's good to have a natural left footer in the...

Unbelievable response. If anything tells you the club and sport is run by old, affluent white men this is it. How you can find someone being called a 'p***' banter is pretty much incomprehensible. It's been totally unacceptable and been considered racist for decades. To then say that the player...

Just had an idea for a slogan for the climate protestors about the disdain governments and corporations show to the planet and environment in their desire for money. War On Terra.

I'm starting to think we're in an alien reality show and humans are there for the aliens to laugh at our stupidity. The Only Way Is Extinction.

But again we need to ask questions of the recruiting process. MR chased him for ages and paid a decent fee for him. Surely in that time he must have researched the type of player he is and realised he's not someone who fits into his ethic and looked elsewhere. We had a similar thing with Chaplin...

I don't think MR will be too bothered by that. Godden and Walker aren't the type to be particularly effective having to do the chasing and when they've played on their own we rarely look that dangerous. Waghorn could probably do it but then you're reducing your goal scoring ability. Gyo is...

But none of them are terrible and could offer something if one of those players is having a bad day. Picking a team that fails to perform is one thing. To pick that team and choose not to change it when you can see that it's not working is quite another. Today I was struggling to think of which...

I'd give Jones more time off the bench to give O'Hare a rest. Not exactly the same player but more of a goal threat and we need to give him time to see if he can get up to speed in this division or not.

Gyo doesn't look the same without Waghorn, but I agree I think he should have been rested to fully recover from the ankle knock. He wasn't fit that game and it's now dragging out. If Waghorn is fit then give him a start.

I agree. As good as it is to be able to play a settled side you have to accept that the players will need a rest at times. Rotating in the likes of Kane, Rose and Walker/Waghorn is going to be necessary if you want the players to maintain the standard of intensity required over the whole season...

Thing is he puts him on the bench but rarely uses him so he can't get any fitness in U23. Not same intensity I know but more useful than sitting down for 90 mins. If MR is unsure of his ability then give him time in the U23. If he's got what it takes he'll dominate those games.

It's as if MR doesn't know what to do with him. Played him at LWB and today at CM. If you're going to bring him on give him the freedom to run at defences.

He had Walker on the bench but didn't bring him on until the very end. Kane can offer a better delivery from the flanks. Sheaf can be a bit hit and miss but normally plays ahead of Allen. He had options on the bench that were no worse than who was playing and if someone's having an off day...

Swansea were good and made us make mistakes but too many below par performances tonight. Why leave it until a minute to go to bring a striker on when you're chasing the game and don't look particularly threatening I don't know.

Walker foe Godden please

Someone with that much technical ability must be able to strike a ball cleanly. I think it's more in his head.

Forgot Waghorn wasn't on the bench 🤦‍♂️

or give him more shooting practice in training.
