    Biamou still has lots to offer

    Agree with this. Baka for his youth and physical stature does not always seem to know how to use these to his advantage in terms of the team concept. Walker will need to get up to speed soon and offer competition for places. I thought, to an extent, Max helped bring others into the mix. We need...

    From this day forward I think all other teams in this division besides us, need to wear blue hoops for their home kits and red away kits.

    Stay calm it’s a long season

    i understand it's a long season and am trying to stay calm, but something has to change in terms of: a) Not committing silly fouls in front of the ref that could get one sent off (e.g. tapping someone on the face or shoving an attacker in the penalty area) b) Doing a better job against the press...

    Plan B

    Apart from the Barnsley match, we haven’t keep a clean sheet all season. That would be a start. Having some confidence/belief and not committing stupid red card offenses like tapping someone on the face or pushing someone in the back in the penalty box right in front of the ref would also be an...

    It’s like target practice for them. Just hope we can keep it respectable.

    Agree totally. Just let it fly when you’re around the 6 yard box. That’s what Shipley did the last game to score.

    Always felt Rose got his place back in the side too easily. Never thought Ostigard should have lost his place. Seems more steady to me than Rose. Now that’s he’s suspended for the next 3 matches, I hope Ostigard cements his place in the first eleven.

    Darn wish Godden got his boot to that! Wonderful chipped pass by Kelly.

    I do hope you end up being correct with your predictions. I agree that MR teams of the last few seasons seem to start the season slow and then pick up the pace and finish the season strong. I'd really like to see that this season as well. We are clearly getting used to the pace, strength and...

    No Dabo, Hamer and Shipley. Our squad seems a little stretched at the moment. Hope we don’t lose.

    Jordy Hiwula

    I beg to differ. Hiwula was given plenty of opportunities at the start of last season, but his returns were paltry. Biamou on the other hand seems to have a much higher rate of return than Hiwula. Also, Biamou has a better work ethic/attitude and has a knack for coming up big in crucial moments...

    Match Thread Brentford Match Thread

    The last couple is games our midfield has been overrun. As a result, there is no bridge between our defence and attack. It may require 1-2 players (like our wingbacks) to be played in slightly advanced positions. But it’s not like they are not already used for attacking purposes anyway. This...

    I never said to drop COH. I said to play our best 11. Please refer to my other threads.

    Freaking hit the bar vs Barnsley and now vs Brentford. No luck. Only deciding to play after we go 1 or 2 goals down in every game. We look shell-shocked in many games and totally devoid of any confidence.

    Pask sucks Sheaf keeps giving the ball away. Alien just runs around and does nothing. Will be 4-0. We are clueless. We don’t even know what to do when we are in the final third. I fear our morale will be shot after this. League 1 here we come.

    Been saying 451 for the longest time in other threads on the forum. We have to pack the midfield as it’s non-existent at the moment.

    Caught between 2 styles

    Possibly. Think we should play our best 11 per my earlier comment. I realize some players may be deployed out of their normal position, but not too far off where they usually play. Could be worth a try.

    Caught between 2 styles

    To add to my prior comment, I think we should play a more compact and counter attacking style of play that packs the midfield to stifle the opposition like a 4-5-1. Play shorter passes and navigate around the opposing midfielders who have been pouncing on our misplaced passes where our players...
