Is Burroughs injured?

Experiment isn’t working, we don’t have enough footballers in the team.

Sheaf needs to come on and either revert to the box or accept we lose Allen’s energy but can play the ball around more.

I think he can offer something, but today Waghorn is a waste of a shirt. So again, either revert to the box or go for the wild card and give Taveres a go. There is space behind so it’s a game for it.

Offensively our right side offers absolutely nothing as it is.

Fans fault?

Maybe if fans can see things miles off then robins should.

Robins wants them to believe in themselves! They need to be more confident not less. Their problem is no option but Hamer

We had the same issue. Well for us anyway, he doesn’t suit our game. Pearson likes runners, high press etc

There is a player there though

That's how we usually play, which is why signing him was bewildering.

Pretty simple for me. Kane, Waghorn and Palmer faded very fast in that half which exposed the weaknesses in others like Allen. Again comes back to why Kane and Waghorn have been barely used and why Palmer still can't put 2x 90 minutes in a week together.

Don’t think they’ve faded so much as been nullified by having to defend due to how poor Wilson Doyle and Panzo have been.

Last 20/25 minutes Doyle and Panzo have been dire. Error after error. They’re not letting us play it around at the back so just get rid.

It’s not an experiment it’s the last remnants of a barebones squad. Missing McF, Sheaf and O’Hare is too much for this side

Palmer really is a luxury player - not convinced with the signing at all, especially with his reported wages.

He’s done more defensive work than Allen despite one playing in the hole and the other supposedly playing DM

If you mean the ability to amble back and lose his man then yep.

He looked ok when we had possession but since we scored we haven’t had any and everyone looks poor. Foolish to pin the blame on him

No blame on him he’s just pointless

Poor half. I've already said it but you can't play 2 up top and Palmer. You basically give the whole of the midfield to the opposition.

Everyone has been under par, but Wilson, Allen, Doyle and Panzo in particular have been really poor.

Bar a few step overs in the first 15 mins Palmer has been anonymous.

Criticising palmer is blasphemy - in surprised he started I thought he’d be on for the last 30 - he’s got a lot of skill but he’s literally hopeless when the opposition are going forward

Imagine if Hamer wasn’t playing today - we’d have been battered out of sight

The goal was Allen's fault though, far too weak in the tackle.

Never thought I'd find myself saying this, but if we don't score is time for Tavares last half hour.

My word.
