    Our final 3rd passing has largely been atrocious today.

    Gyokeres needs to go down the outside on his left foot sometimes. Too predictable in those one on one situations that he wants to cut inside on his right.

    Match Thread WBA (A) - Sat 23rd April

    Wingbacks have been very deep so far. Guess that's to try and minimise the amount of crosses into Carroll but that's limiting our options to build the play and making us very counter-attacking as a result. Gyokeres having to do a lot of running in the channels to provide an outlet.

    3 Areas to improve next season

    Defence would be the priority for me and I think we need 2 if not 3 more CBs. 1) Fadz needs a long term replacement 2) We need a left sided CB Rose and Hyam should be fighting it out for one spot and the other providing the first change on a matchday if needed. 3) An upgrade on our development...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    I wouldn't be bothered if we moved either or both of Rose and Hyam on in the summer. Hyam has improved loads this year but he needed to. They must be the least intimidating centre backs in the league. I'd say we need at least 3 signings in that position in the summer.

    As soon as Bidwell was down on the ground Rose should be tucking in to make a 2 instead of leaving a gap of 30 metres between Hyam and himself. He's got no-one to mark and the only danger is Solanke. Dopey defending.

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Been a lively performance so far, outplaying a really strong Bournemouth side, just missing a little composure around the box for the final ball. Let ourselves down badly with the marking for their goal. Is it just nerves driving all the negative comments?

    26th time this season we've conceded first. Pretty shocking stat from 43 games.

    Quick early passing and movement has been superb so far.

    Dabo must be in Godden territory in terms of being an asset when fit but only ever fit for half a season.

    Match Thread Birmingham City (A) - Fri 15th April

    This Birmingham defence will look dodgy as fuck if we can get them on the backfoot and backpeddling to towards their own goal now. Quite a negative set up for me today in trying to nullify Birmingham's strengths. Get Sheaf and Hamer 10-15 metres higher up the pitch and play to our own strengths...

    Match Thread Birmingham City (A) - Fri 15th April

    Hamer and Sheaf are playing very deep out of possession, I presume instructed to do so to try and win the 2nd ball and knock downs from Birmingham's direct play. It's leaving us very short of forward options when we do win possession. Reminds me of how we used to put Doyle on Akinfenwa's toes...

    We really have to sort the central defence out in the summer. We're soft as shit there, we really miss an Ostigaard type who will own the box and get his head on anything. Not too worried about this game so far. When Birmingham's press wears off soon we'll get a grip on the game.

    Flew in but he's feet were down and caught Maatsen on the boot, only a yellow for me. If his foot was raised, I think he'd have walked.

    Must be 10 or 11 games since we kept a clean sheet, we're due one.

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    Was probably just a Leamington & Warwick CCFC Supporters Club member who wanted to slice his Camembert up into neat triangles.
