    Thomas is essentially man marking their 47. Hope the defence are set up to be pulled all over the place.

    They have a Championship defence so we will get chances.

    We fucking love shooting ourselves in the foot. In real time it didn’t look a pen.

    More worried about Lati RWB than JDS LWB. The latter is covered by Kitching which we have seen work well (or at least better than Binks). Lati has no pace and at WB there’s so much space behind to cover, so either he’s a sitting RWB or we’re in trouble. Also concerned re BTA. Literally...

    As my penance for three home games in a week I’ve been dragged to Fosse Park this morning. I hate shopping and especially places like this where people seem to lose their shit while shopping. So: 1) I cannot wait for that pre match pint, on my own, away from this madness and I can get excited...

    Any news from the Ipswich camp as to whether they are rotating or going full strength?

    Tricky one tomorrow as some players do need a rest, but I think tomorrow is absolutely winnable. MVE and Rudoni are probably the main two, so Burroughs and Eccles likely the obvious too, albeit that’s a big loss in creativity in midfield. I can see the 4-3-3 argument as it gets Sakamoto and...

    Observations; Leeds were a level above, their speed on and off the ball was too much for us (and most teams in our league in fairness). However, whether it was tactical, a lack of confidence or just a weak mentality, we looked nervous and allowed them to play. It also meant most of our team...

    Grimes looks good on the ball but his free kicks are shit.

    I’d have taken Torp off he’s been hiding most of the game.

    It does seem that way but there is more to it surely. Looks like it might be the box which is more positive than a flat 4.

    On the surface that’s a negative change, as that’s now 5-4-1 effectively. I get nullifying their left side as we were overloaded but I worry that’s even less of an outlet now.

    Getting increasingly pissed off with us not doing the basics. Both their goals were a truly of it too. We’ve forgotten how to pass, move, track runners and tackle. For all their pressure it’s mistakes they’ve scored from.

    Ampadu is a tosser as well and absolutely not as good as he thinks. Get Simms riled up and if we’re going long he’ll win that battle.

    Chance for a quick throw? Nah let’s all hide. Rudoni aside they are all hiding.

    Weak mentality we thought had disappeared clearly has not. Nobody wants the ball and when they do they bottle it. However still plenty of time.

    We’re all saying the same: Overload down our right We look way too nervous We’re also going long a lot more than usual. Assuming it’s the plan but not working at the minute.

    Poor from Simms and defence so spread out it was easy. Sloppy goal to give away. We have to stand up and play now. Look way too sheepish and nervous.

    We’re looking nervous now and sitting in more and more. Need a chance/possession/crunching tackle to give us a boost and turn the tide.
