    Right who's the next manager then?

    Ruben Selles would be my pick but this feels wrong. Works with a young squad and plays attacking football

    Easy to discount but Derby reminded me of how we use to be a couple of seasons back. Strong in defence, well organised and quick on the transition. Think they’ll be fine this year

    To be fair he can’t use his pace which is his best asset when we didn’t play any through balls at all. We were fair too safe and slow as we for some reason expected them to press us (Thomas looked bewilder twice that they didn’t want to win the ball from the CB on the half way line) which means...

    Didn’t we try for the Forest CB and Browne tho. There has to be some more flexibility to this if so.

    This is the issue isn’t it. It’s not just bad results like last year when you thought once it gets going. The performances outside of the last two and Blackburn haven’t been good enough and it’s starting to get to the point when I don’t know why since it’s all of them.

    Think something not mentioned about the offside which wound me up, is that the lads all just stopped including Milan. I know there young lads but play to the whistle. We’ve done it a couple of times now and it’s a really bad habit

    Sticking with a “winning” formation…

    Sorry that’s what I meant. When I was referring to a 4 3 3 I was talking about Derbys shape and how it hurt us. When we matched them we were much better as you said.

    Sticking with a “winning” formation…

    Don’t disagree. Tactical shape is all about getting wide and underlapping in the middle or using the middle to create an overload in the wide areas. The issue was in a 4-3-3, they had advantage in those wide areas and since they had a low block they just doubled up and in transition exposed...

    Eccles suspended

    Would play Jack in CM and Torp in the advanced role.

    Meant more for the tactical shape and going on about being too narrow. Shocking performances there today but it’s not just the players. It came across like we did no research on them or how to play around them and just assumed were would win.

    Depends which Coventry bother to turn up at this point

    Scary and in my opinion how he’s put that on the players is a shambles. They were targeting our pace in centre backs by doubling up and due to how high our wingbacks were they just moved past them. There lack of press in CM meant the space created by binks and the underlay had nowhere to go...

    Atmosphere

    Will say, was surprised at the atmosphere I know it was shite but no real effort from fans to try and drag us up. Also no mark robins chant which was a surprise

    Every other coach does this, saw it today when we finally changed shape in the 60th. I love Mark and am trying to not be too doom and gloom but he’s been out thought today and I’m sorry but he needs to adapt. Refs will keep allowing it so take advantage

    Robins going on about how he was annoyed the lads didn’t know to change shape and find space. Your the coach, get Dovin to fake a injury and get them to change shape
