Take us through a play by play of who you would have taken off and when? You made comments about Walker, Shipley and McCallum. I assume you would have taken them off. For who? The tactics were negative, but by your own activity on the thread, you believe we should’ve been 2-0 up. I agree on...

Biamou and Jobello were brought on in the 77th minute before Derby scored. So MR did precisely what you would’ve done. Let’s be honest, I don’t think you or many people on this would back Baka or Biamou to score a goal over Walker. I wouldn’t. Again, you’re totally missing out that we were the...

What tactical masterclass would you have done? Late in the game, you throw the kitchen sink at the opposition. We did that, and it worked - MR set out for the subs to do something, in the last two games substitutes have earned us a point. Again, football is an outcome-based industry. Whilst I...

Yes, and we’ve improved our results from the international break too. So if it’s an overreaction, clearly it’s a good one. I agree our personnel doesn’t best suit 4-5-1/4-2-3-1 but the results don’t lie. When Matty Godden returns, there’s a case to potentially play 5-3-2, without him, the...

That defender crossed the ball in that lead to the equaliser? In actuality, it’s no different bringing on a striker who goes on to score a goal? Or a midfielder who gets an assist. Had we lost the game, what you’re saying would make more sense - but we got a result, and the subs had the...

Football is outcome based. Whilst they weren’t the changes I would have made, the players that were brought on made and impact and we got the point in the end. We were the better team in the first half, unlucky to have had a goal chalked off and denied a stonewall penalty. The second half was...

Ostigard crossed the ball in for the equaliser and is our main threat set-pieces. But, of course you’re right, this is shocking management.

He played well in the first half against Cardiff too where we actively looked for him in the first 20m. I don’t think Shipley is a standout performer, and some of his misplaced passes irk me all a be all, he does an ok job. He’s always had his boo boys - people were questioning if he was good...

Defensively, Kelly is the anchor of 3 CMs and we have two wide players, 1 striker and the back 4. It’s very clearly 4-5-1. Attacking wise, it’s more fluid because of the things you outline, but Kelly is almost always deeper than everyone else. Jobello and Giles will start on the wings...

I do think we’re good enough to survive. We were conceding soft goals despite the quality of opposition. Objectively speaking, we’ve tightened things up defensively and this is a priority if we’re to survive. Even if it is a stopgap. Derby have sacked their manager, and have some good...

I agree, it’s clearly a 4-5-1. Kelly very clearly plays behind Shipley and Hamer last night and Sheaf & Hamer v Norwich. Giles has been a winger and midfielder most of his career. Wolves want him played as a WB since that is the system that played (until recently). The CBs look comfortable, a...

Happy with to snatch a draw! Hamer is proving he is just box office! 1st half, we were the better team. 2nd half, Derby were the better team.

Agreed. That said, I managed to get Nottingham Forest for free - I don’t know if this was on purpose.

You probably wouldn’t see Bright do that in the Championship. Hence, 2 appearances for Wigan last time around and he’s now on trial at P’boro and not on trial at a Championship club.

There’s a reason Bright’s career has nosedived after he left us. He was a great player for us, but it’s clear he took the piss and got away with it because he was the best player on the pitch for us. This is not the player you want involved in a relegation scrap. Besides, he’s barely kicked a...

Two players at different stages of their careers. Hyam was brought in with development in mind, and his development has been perfect. Got his foot in the door with injuries but hasn’t looked back at all. Kudos to the recruitment team! The only bad game I’ve seen Hyam play is that 6-2 loss...

In the past, I’ve not had the option to change commentary to the away team. Probably a web browser issue. You come across some really biased commentary. I don’t think CWR is as bad compared to the others.

Ben Wilson reckons the ref went ‘ohhh’ when he chatted with him after the match. Suggesting, in his words, he thought about apologising to him about the mistake. Had we lost that game, we’d have every right to have been livid with that decision.

They didn’t outplay us at home. We struggled a bit in the first 15-25 minutes, but from then on we were the better side and should have won. New league, new players and so on. Without a ball being kicked, I’d be happy with a draw in this game too.

I’d return to the side we played against Cardiff, with a 4-5-1 against Derby, assuming Godden is not fit. I’d consider playing COH over Shipley (out wide) or Sheaf (centrally, he’s probably due a breather). If Godden is fully fit again, 5-3-2 could a good option. The likelihood is that Godden...
