    We were lucky to have not conceded much earlier with the different formation. We were hardly running the show before the change and while they definitely took the upperhand after it if we'd spent two weeks working on that starting formation and then switched it undoubtedly there's going to be a...

    I think MR will stick with the formation we started with on Fri. Only possible way that might change is if Godden is available and he decides to play them both. Obv could do with a win but not losing at this stage is Ok. It's once we get into Dec and Jan we really need to look at those games as...

    That'd be a decent compromise for this situation. It's indirect aid by cutting wage bills and the big clubs will benefit from it long term. Would need the EFL to relax the loans in matchday squad rules though. Of course for it to be effective with costs it'd mean very loan heavy squads in the...

    Walker and Godden

    Going back to the original question, Walker and Godden will definitely be tried together at some point. There is a bit of a fear they may be a bit similar but they'll be given a chance together without a doubt. Hopefully they'll be able to work out one of the dropping to help O'hare while the...

    Can't just compare how you did that week compared to how everyone else did in that week. All it takes is one week for results not to go our way and we'd see it as a disaster, when in fact it'd possibly be a result like Birmingham when everyone else didn't get results that was the poorer than a...

    They do seem to get A LOT of decisions go in their favour, esp from VAR.

    Positives thread

    Compared to the other teams at the bottom we're prolific in terms of goals scored. The problem is goals conceded and those are due to: 1. Giving the ball away cheaply in our own half 2. Silly penalties given away 3. Atrocious defending from corners due to zonal marking. This has been aided and...

    Jeremy Kyle - murder?

    But you'd think with his own problems with addiction he'd be more compassionate to those with similar issues. I know it's largely a persona for the audience, and yes the public should take a long look at themselves for allowing this trash to grow by watching it, but he could have just told the...

    To be fair they did look far more dangerous than we did after the switch. We were very much holding on at the end. But if we'd spent time on the original formation instead of spending two weeks on that new one and started with it I reckon we'd have looked a much better proposition

    It does seem that Dabo struggles with a trad. RB/predominantly defensive role but relishes RWB.

    Oh I agree entirely. Juke should've scored a couple. But it wasn't about what I think, it was what will MR do and IMO he'll stick with it, citing the reasons I gave regardless of how fortunate the fact they came about are or the things we've lost as a result. He must've spent a fair bit of...

    We kept a clean sheet, took a point and looked more susceptible when we changed system. He persists with it.

    IF she goes she'll be back. This isn't the first time she's been accused 9and made to pay up) over bullying. Plus remember those meetings when she was 'on holiday' under May? "There were no meetings" "yes there was - this one" "OK, there was that one meeting" "what about this one" "yes there...

    Yes they did, which is why I've said i reckon MR will persist with this new system. But if we'd spent two weeks working on that system in training to revert to the older one which they haven't been focusing on it's going to be a bit rusty and clunky. We can never know, but had we trained in...

    Starting XI moving forward

    Would be happy with either McCallum or Giles (maybe mcCallum against better teams and Giles the ones we should be looking to attack) but the rest I'm fine with. On a similar note against teams we should be attacking more I'd consider o'Hare in place of one of the midfielders (probably Sheaf)

    I agree with him. I'd rather stick his dick in a meat blender than watch that again.

    Teams to Beat

    The problem with the previous system was individual errors costing goals and not putting good chances away. Last night we were still making those errors but didn't create the chances to put away. lost more than we've gained. Juke should've had too easy goals (so I imagine Brum fans are similar...

    No goals very much not. You can win a game if you concede. You can't win a game if you don't score.

    There is a point there, but Patel comes across as someone who wouldn't take that constructive criticism. She'd make your life a misery and look to get rid of you at the first opportunity. The fact that johnson has backed her and rejected the report tells you everything you need to know about who...

    Quarter of the season gone.

    Dec/Jan is massive for us. If we lose a lot of those games yes we're in massive trouble. Win quite a few of them (which I still believe we can do - last night MR arguably played into Brum's hands making sure we were tight at the back rather than letting our attacking instincts to the fore and I...
