I want to say that Kone is Pony (Poneh?!) and make it rhyme but it's quite hard in the written form. So I will just call him Ko-neigh instead because he's a carthorse.

This game will get increasingly nasty and it will be all down to the referee's inconsistency in decision making.

I think there's been a few tweaks, but we are absolutely devoid of confidence as a team.

Good to see the players making a statement and staying out on the pitch for this half time break.

The shape is better today but i'm still not seeing a team that has a plan how they are going to score goals. Some shocking long balls so far, static off the ball around their box, trying to beat their players too deep in the midfield when we should be passing and moving. Was a bright first 5...

Great stat about Rushworth preventing more goals than any other keeper in the Championship, based on xG. Which also highlights how loose our defence is, generally.

Just needs a deeper starting position for the 2nd CM, which I think Eccles will naturally do and then a bit more in game communication/understanding of which, and when, the wingbacks join the attacks. I would hope that's all they've been doing in training this week!

He already tried that several times. That perm wasn't a choice you know!

The boring answers are not even the best bit. He answers like he's against the clock on Mastermind :ROFLMAO:

Torp hitting the first man with a last minute gift of a free kick sums up the entire night.

Makama has looked like the player I thought we were getting when we first signed Simms

We've got 4 tricky wingers on rotation and full backs who are very comfortable on the ball. Yet our tactic is to let Grimes drop into a back 3 and launch a diagonal ball up the pitch towards a striker, or straight over the top to run on to. Why don't we get the ball down in the middle of the...

I'd have kept Wright on and moved him out left for EMC today

I hope an individual error does not end up masking how broken the set up is recently when Torp and Grimes are in the middle together.

by elbowing BTA off the ball? :D

Feel like Lampard is trying to turn him into a box to box 8, in his own image, but while he is much fitter than when he first joined, I don't think he's got the natural fitness for it. Looks like tired decision making with the ball to me.

'Defensive Shape' is doing some heavy lifting there!

And I thought Donald Trumps FIFA peace prize was going to be the most undeserved football moment of the season. :D

It was the same problems with Torp against Leicester. His starting position is too high and then he gives the ball away by dwelling on the ball and we then look extremely vulnerable on the counter attack.
