But we know his game isn't holding the ball up; it's just not the type of player he is. So why expect him to do that? You have to match your tactics to best utilise your players' qualities. Wright needs intelligent players behind him to thrive. When we have Torp and Rudoni back, we will see the...

That isn't actually true. For most of the second half they sat in and had the odd break. For the last 10 minutes we sat deep and they had a lot of pressure. That doesn't invalidate your general point, though; we were opened up a lot in that first half and were dominated in midfield from the one...

He's not out of his depth, but that formation won't help him. That result's not on Jamie Allen.

He was brilliant. Just because his teammates weren't doesn't change that.

This is the issue with BTA; he's a good player, but his decision making is often very poor. I'm still not entirely convinced by EMC either.

This is fair.

With such a weakened team, the formation was the real problem. I think it was trying to get your best players into the team, rather than pick the best team to play the match. The warning signs were there against Watford that we're liable to get over-run in midfield with it. Sure enough.. Saka...

This could run...

It wasn't.

Because they've been told to let more go, which is good, but sometimes they're trying so hard to let the game flow that they miss blatant fouls. It's not the first time I've seen it this season, but it's the first time it's cost us.

We missed MvE's dynamism completely. The difference between him and KKH is stark from what I've seen of KKH so far. It's not even close.

That really fucking pissed me off. That was a stinking performance. Only Grimes and Sakamoto with credit. KKH and especially Woolfenden look like back ups and no more. On that performance, neither is close to the starting 11. I don't know how much was enforced, but that was a very, very poor...

I don't think there are any positives to take from this.

Fucking Wales. Why are we always fucking shit in Wales?

I fucking hate that fucking c**t. Fucking lump.

Yeah, KKH is spending the season on the bench unless things go wrong with MvE.

Him and Grimes are the only ones that have. I don't know how much of it was down to availability, but this was not the team shape to pick. We needed far more in midfield. I guess we'd have gone with a 3 without the injuries

We've missed MvE so much it's ridiculous, and Bidwell's nowhere near the level anymore.

Our defence looks cobbled together, which it is.

Filth from Saks.
