No it isn’t at all. If walker started to run back youd bollkck him he’s a player whose only ever going to give you goals and chances if you use that. Sorry biamou is rubbish Walker has scored what 6 goals? Biamou has scored 1 in 17? I don’t care about chasing down keepers or running back to defend. We are creating nothing and we will slip out this league if we are not careful

I’m just on about moving for the ball, controlling it, passing, having a shot those pre requisites. I do wonder what you want sometimes. Tell me how it should be set up to make us more potent today or what you think needs changing?

Biamou is not the main issue. He doesn’t score enough i agree

we're playing a poor team devoid of confidence and we've let them grow into the game and get a lead on us, shambolic.

Brereton for them is good. They're smart in possession I think. Just look like they will gift us some chances mind.

Nothing wrong with the setup (apart from missing O'Hare to link them) & as you rightly say Walker's job is to get in behind, he's always going to see less of it for that reason.

I love Biamou's work ethic, all very commendable & it can cause them problems. Unfortunately the quality just isn't there. Ball is forever bouncing off him when we need him to hold it & allow the midfield to get forward, his runs lack intelligence & as we know, if the chance comes to him he'll likely squander it.

Funnily enough, I thought that v Swansea, but noticed it less so today. Although, I doubt he is near match fitness.

Absolutely 0 pace in our side too which is part of the reason we're getting caught on the counter so easily. Kelly, James, Shipley, Hyam, McFadz, Biamou are actually slow. Dabo, McCallum, Walker, Ostigard average.

After a blistering first 10 minutes that was abject. Strikes on opposite sides of the pitch, no link between midfield and forwards, long ball into Biamou who got worse as the the half progressed.

i love Kelly but he doesn't suit defending the counter attack. Hamer for Kelly, Gyokeres for Biamou, Ohare for Shipley, Rose for Hyam please.

Even O'Hare isn't particularly quick.

If the football pitch was 25km long he'd beat the offside trap most times.

Must bring on hamer and O'Hare surely? We can't afford to leave them on the bench. We need points.

I think there's literally just 2 persons who think Walkers having a better game than Max. Lol.

But in saying that when if walker gets half a sniff he will put it away. Hopefully.

That's kind of the point though. Even when doing next-to-nothing, Walker's still more of a goal threat than his strike partner.

Hyam looks shot lately, have no idea what he was doing with his foot for their goal
Click to expand...

I'm really surprised you say lately, he's been a liability for weeks.
At the end of the day, we can moan all we like about Hyam, Shipley etc, we knew this league would be a step to far for several players and so its proving.
Just have to hope Robins is backed to bring in better quality replacements in the summer.

Part of the reason Max appears to be playing better than Walker though is the pedestrian paced long ball we're playing, so he's naturally more involved. We need to get the ball down and get their young CB backpeddling.

For me I think our biggest issue there is nondefined passing movements in final third

We should be working on it till it becomes muscle memory. Midfielders should be able to switch it to wing backs without a second thought. Strikers should know when to come deep and when to run over top etc

Robins needs to do some tactical managing not just man management

He’s been poor both in attack and defence although I’m sure someone will come along to tell us all how it’s every other players fault.

Problem with Sam is his decision making when tracking players he just lunges, its pretty much every time... Easy to play against for wingers, then you've got hyam next to him who gets turned inside out like he's never played football and goes to clear a ball and stops halfway through... I don't know what to say about that left hand side

Shipley lost a bit of weight last season and was looking after himself and it showed in his performance. He seems to have put it back on and looks just way off where he needs to be.

Just shown a replay of the Ostigard disallowed goal. Looked a yard or so off, although not the best angle.

Serious business starts next game. We’ve made it through and just about stayed outside bottom 3. Are we good enough to take the points we need?

Its Biamous fault. We'd be a 3 nil up if he wasn't playing.

Just watching it again, that really is a brilliant save from Wilson, game over if that went in.

Surprised no changes yet

Walker is also playing off the shoulder of defenders whereas Biamou (I won't call him Max ) is dropping deeper to receive the ball.

There was no reason this game shouldn’t be serious business. They’ve lost 5 in a row
