Da Silva in midfield for them is running the show. Ex Arsenal

It’s like we’re playing in slow motion, we look awful; no style or pattern to our play. And when we do get the ball we give it away.

CM is a pivotal role and right now Sheaf is not good enough to play it on his own.

I actually wouldn’t mind us going direct and missing the midfield out, we have two up front and COH/Allen behind/running on.

Missing Hamer

It’s a bit like the old days of the early 80s we are well out of it quality wise but you just hang in and hope the longer it goes the more we could sneak it. Similar to games like Arsenal away when Bamber scored and we just hung on so who knows

We need to go back 4 and spread the midfield and add Kelly, they've tooo much freedom in the middle imo

Unless something massive happens over the course of the season, I can only see us going down.

This midfield is not working. We can't keep the ball for more than 1 pass and they just waltz through us like a knife through butter.

The spine of the team is missing. We kow Hamer is server 3 match ban but Kelly not playing? Dabo missing? I would rather have seen Shippers supporting Godden.
We need to change this formation.

Only 2 players in the entire squad today weren't here last season.

If all of our players get corona now will the game be stopped and a draw?

12 shots given away after 24 minutes with none attempted is absurd.

The two up top are stranded and the midfield is overrun

This is a horrible watch so far but against these opponents, with 4 or 5 of our best XI missing , that's hardly surprising.

At least we should be competitive in league one next year.

Our midfield is offering nothing at all.

OHare and Allen anonymous and Sheaf is getting the ball but absolutely no passing accuracy.

The gap between them and the strikers is then massive.

Godden looks too slow, their defenders are much quicker.

I took the decision not to watch it when the team sheet came out.

That team is weaker than the one we had last year. Mental.

When you look at our shape, OHare is behind the front 2 but Sheath is on his own.

Then when they attack with pace Allen and Ohare are nowhere to be seen.

Sheaf and Allan being overloaded through the middle... Get Kelly in to drop 5 behind them and push them up 5 yards to press

I said that about Allen when he came on against Bournemouth, everyone slagged off Shipley, who was poor, but at least he was involved enough to be shite.

I say this purely as an experienced manager on Football Manager, but surely away from home at the better sides you pack your midfield. Two up top is reserved for the weaker sides. Sheaf has been poor but he’s got no help whatsoever. If Kelly is 75% fit he needs to play in this game.

This is dreadful, certain players aren't even close to Championship standard. Get Kelly & McCallum on at half time.
