Tactics and formations are one thing but basically allowing the opposing winger endless time to approach the box and pick a cross is asking for trouble. I’ve heard it described as a deliberate tactic which would be insane. Your centre backs are never going to look good with no support either in...

JDS just lets people cross. Never an attempt to close down. It’s madness.

I’m afraid defensively he is.

We can argue about the ability of our defence but in reality we play 3 at the back and one of those is Grimes. We simply don’t play with full backs. MVE and Dasilva are wide midfielders pushed right up to our wingers. You look at last night and most other home games and we could easily be 3 down...

I don’t think he is having a dip in form. He continues to dictate, break up and pick passes. Don’t see the issue

Don’t get the Grimes negativity. He was fine

Huge ridiculousness points for Rushworth and Dasilva fist bumping when we’d only cleared to the edge of our six yard box. In keeping with the park football feel.

It’s a nightmarish watch isn’t it. Our current formation appears to be 2-1-1-5-1. Full backs so high it’s surreal, no midfield, some good wingers and Lati. Chaos!

Brilliant tonight. Now he’s fit.

Stand outs. Rushworth, Wright, Saka. Some absolute bizarreness but another win. Didn’t think Rudoni was that bad sctually

Christ on a bike. What was that. 20 minutes of that second half was like watching a heavily pissed team play. Midfield optional.

Granted

And we need to stop hitting the deck for no reason. It’s puts us under so much pressure

Not sure how anyone has watched that and is laying blame on anyone in the front 4. We’re shambolic at the back and we were warned 3 times before they scored. We’ve easily got enough to win but crikey we are so easy to score against

Not targeting Torp at all. That’s nonsense in itself. But he was poor on Saturday. Yes, the system asked a lot of him but it was basics that were lacking. He may not be fit - fine. But for me he lacks the engine and pace required. Technically he is fantastic.

Don’t think Grimes was as much of an issue as Torp was. But the way we played first half we’re basically asking Grimes and Torp to cover midfield and right and left back so that we can indulge Dasilva and Van Ewijk. Once you give a free role to Rudoni the space to cover becomes even bigger...

Absolutely. Wright was in the correct frame of mind yesterday. They are both more than a handful in that mode. But the problems they caused were balls over the top where they can pressure centre halves. In to feet and they are less effective.

Simms and Wright will both always score goals in the championship which is great for us. But neither have great all round play - Wright is better than Simms. We’ve started crediting Simms with things that are absolute basics such as the flick on for Esse. I’m constantly amazed how poor both...

His shot for Simms goal was scuffed. That’s the issue. He’s snatching at things a bit and trying too hard. If we get a few wins everyone will relax.

Thought he had a good game
