    I agree. I think Fleck is one piece of the misfiring, misfitting jigsaw. I won't be sad to see him go. He is too inconsistent.

    HIS best 11 though isn't necessarily the best 11. TM's best 11 has a very lightweight midfield feel to it.

    Just ask him if he is the player to take us out of this mess. Oh, that and if he has ever scored a hat trick!

    Media Hype?

    Stuart Linnell was still talking in terms of a blip. Have you ever heard of a blip that lasts nigh on 4 months?

    Can't find much on him, but did see this. http://m.football-lineups.com/footballer/68961/ Says he is a right midfielder. Bottom line is we need to try something different and try anything and everything to try and turn our season around.

    Errm yeah, but hang on a minute, TGP. We have no idea what position best suits Rose have we? We have hardly seen him play. His profile just says midfielder. Only thing I have heard from TM is he is a box to box type player. Not heard him say he is a central midfielder.

    Also, Henderson's wife had just had a baby. Get the feeling sleepless nights might well have been a factor. If you remember he was left out of last Saturday's squad completely becuase his wife was having a baby.

    Advocating Henderson because we need a definitive change in system. Also Henderson because Tudgay dropped completely out of the match day squad yesterday, which would very much point to him being injured.

    We have played him wide haven't we? I remember him coming on at the Ricoh and he was played wide right.

    Why not? Rose is according to TM, a box to box player. That means he can link between both defence and attack, supporting both. He is said to have a great a great engine and energy and he also has some physical presence too.

    Time to bring the curtain down

    Maybe, but doesn't the Middlesborough thing bother you? The fact that twice before TM has had teams in the play-off positions at Christmas and they then fell away badly? If it happens here this season that will be three times. That gives me no confidence at all for next season and if we were...

    The one's wondering where it went wrong...

    Well yep, we started to struggle from then and failed to kill teams off when we had the lead. Also, I know we all allude to that Gillingham victory as our last really good performance (things started to go wrong following that game), but when you look back at it, Gillingham in that first half...

    Season over

    Yes, for sure. It is two separate issues though I feel. He does leave his leg dangling, but he does also have very quick feet and great skill and a number of times he has had his legs taken away from him with crude challenges. Let's not detract though anyway. Our plight is not down to Maddison...

    Season over

    No, but not the majority. I would say it is about 50/50. He is getting targeted though and getting lumps kicked out of him. Ignore the fact that he dives loads. In spite of that he is getting regularly kicked too.

    For me, we need a change....

    Yep, totally agree. I would like to see Armstrong and Henderson up top together. We then can have the variation of playing the ball long as well as trying to play through teams. Henderson probably can't manage a whole 90 mind, but why don't we do what we do with Cole and start him and then...

    For me, we need a change....

    I have noticed we have been dwarfed by man mountains on a number of occasions. Thought Rochdale looked decent. They just need some attacking threat up front. They were organised, strong, disciplined and had great energy. I know people were saying they are just a notable team, but now they are...

    Season over

    We are still the same team, Stu. It is the opposition that have looked at the way we play and come up with a game plan to stifle us. And that's the problem. We ARE still the same team, still playing the same way. We try and play through teams down the middle and very rarely get wide. This...
