Our midfield just gives no protection to the defence. Even Grimes has gone missing recently.

We just look totally at sea.

I do wonder what the manager must be thinking when he watches this.

He needs to reassess his insistence on starting Rudoni. He's just not at it currently

Well part of it. In December they were clearly exhausted and we were running on fumes squad wise.

Like every other team.

Get Eccles on for rudoni, that will allow torp and Grimes to be more creative and get forward

Sorry but Lati is not good enough

Well if Woolf is deemed even worse then bloody hell we have a problem.

Para1140 · 2026-01-17T13:02:16+0000

Lampard playing Lati before a premiership centre half in Wolf is shocking

My concern is he's too set in his ways and reluctant to change.

We are at a real crossroads point

Good defensive header by EMC.

Were Watford, Wrexham, Ipswich?

mmttww · 2026-01-17T13:02:53+0000

Looking better with the ball although I forgot Torp was playing. He's breaking up play well but he's not in the game going fwd. Rudoni is just nowhere.

jordan210 · 2026-01-17T13:02:58+0000

We are taking far to many touches

It's been a very poor signing considering we spent £4M.

Nick · 2026-01-17T13:03:09+0000

That was our throw.

fernandopartridge · 2026-01-17T13:03:12+0000

Torp shouldn't be playing

Sky_Blue_Daz · 2026-01-17T13:03:16+0000

Decent effort from
Emc

Been the same for weeks. Want 6 touches instead of playing it quick.

Certainly are

Ccfcisparks · 2026-01-17T13:03:36+0000

Onyeka would really fit a place in that midfield. He's the sort of profile we need.

Nick · 2026-01-17T13:03:58+0000

Lati given it away with that pass every time

SeaSeeEffCee · 2026-01-17T13:04:02+0000

I’m sorry but Esse has been dreadful.

Esoterica · 2026-01-17T13:04:05+0000

We need to tweak what is happening now we signed Esse. You're not going to get any where near the amount of defensive work out of him as you get with Sakamoto.

Either the fullbacks need to be less attacking and Grimes needs to stop playing quarterback and move more into CM
OR
Grimes continues to play as deep as he is and the fullbacks have to do more offensively, on the overlap with their wingers.

Just don't feel like the plan is clear for the players when we have the ball. Sometimes we have a back 5 and are forced long by the lack of central options other times we have Grimes, and a fullback going forwards and get left short at the back. It looks like we lack some clarity on individual roles.

We are all at sea at the back. If they get a second, I think it’s over.

The problem is the midfield

SkyblueTexan · 2026-01-17T13:04:12+0000

Is it too early for some subs?

same issue we had with Robbins with his favourites

mark82 · 2026-01-17T13:04:18+0000

Coventry City. Saving under pressure managers jobs throughout 2026.

He's done 2 nice tricks and that's all people will see.

StrettoBoy · 2026-01-17T13:04:23+0000

We have looked brighter going forward in the last ten minutes, although still shaky at the back.

It's important that we get the next goal.

Yeah, this. It's the difference vs. Ipswich and today.

Woolfenden has been fucking dreadful

duffer · 2026-01-17T13:04:32+0000

One team that breaks with purpose. One team that needs forty passes before getting it into the box. Which one will win?

Reluctant to change the shape yes but the tempo and playing style is miles off what we were doing earlier on. I don’t get it

He is the very least of the problems today.

Nick · 2026-01-17T13:04:59+0000

Pathetic from rudoni.
Decent play from simms

mark82 · 2026-01-17T13:05:17+0000

Better from Rudoni, but terrible shot.

Fitness, opposition tactics

Will be a multitude of reasons, he needs to adjust again.
