    Agreed Persisting with a 3 with only 2 fit centre backs was ludicrous and cost us the game, we were all over the place with Sheaf in the middle Even if we only played 4 at the back once this season, this was the game to do it

    Next 3 at home

    I think teams have worked us out for quite a few games now. Press us high, we can’t deal with it. Wing backs have far less space than they did earlier in the season We end up playing one touch, on the edge football to break the press when building from the back. Looks good when it comes off...

    Current Form Perception?

    Think we’ve done really well recently considering the fixture pile up and the Southampton game, MR was definitely right when he said that was still affecting us – especially with the injuries to a few key players/Hamer’s suspension meaning not much chance for rotation No midweek game next...

    Ostigard returns to Brighton

    Only position he can play is middle of a back 3 - and that’s with 2 ball players either side We’re far better balanced without him, with Hyam at RCB and a left footer in JCS For all his blood and thunder stuff, he’s pretty crap in possession as we saw last season Would be an emotional...

    Knee jerk

    Worrying thing is the common theme with the Luton game - press us high in our own half and we don’t seem to be able to cope We went longer a bit more at times in the 2nd half which would suggest we learnt a bit from the Luton debacle At times it’s going to require us playing like we did in the...

    The Penalty

    Notwithstanding the dive, Godden has an excellent record on penalties across his career. Always looks very confident over the ball. 6/6 scored for us, and just 1 missed in his whole career

    Yup, more experience in key areas as well Moore and Waghorn as part of the spine having a big positive effect. Kane a huge upgrade on DaCosta. Clever recruitment

    Whats Left/ Who do you want ( within reason)

    Some funny old posts to read through The Hyam/Ostigard comparison reminds me a little of the Keogh/Cranie partnership we had in the 11/12 season. Keogh a blood and thunder sort of player like Ostigard, chucks himself into challenges and headers - sometimes due to being out of position in the...

    I know the lad had some mental health issues last season Every sympathy with him as the pandemic has affected people in many different ways He has a good attitude and I don’t doubt he will come again after a little time out of the spotlight
