Not sure if you heard his post match interview but it’s quite clear to everyone it’s not currently working. If he thought we were mired in a relegation battle after 13 games then it would make sense to change things asap but I’m not sure he agrees with you.

Although he said we need to stick with it, after he had changed it.

The manager has wanted to build a possession based game. We are getting the lion’s share of it every week and getting 0 points and 0 goals. The question now is if he is willing to admit that it’s not working.

We could of played for another 90 and not scored tonight, which is felt was a combination of their solid defence and our quality in the middlefield lacking with creativity.We did the opposite last season, we had an amazing stat where the games we won were the majority where we had less of the ball, when we had it we struggled. The luxury we had was Vik of course, who used to make something out of nothing and occupy 2-3 players.

They weren’t solid. We had a lot of decent chances and flapped them, again. They’ve won because of Wilson and an offside goal ultimately.

He said we were still building a side after losing our two most influential players last year.
Sky pundits seem to think we still may well finish in or around the play offs . I just don't see the logic of that.

They were solid last 20 or so because they sat so deep. Agree with reasons they won

O'Hare has just come back in for cameo roles off the bench. He makes us tick in and around the box. He will start next game. Wright is either utterly hopeless as a footballer (shocking first touch, lack of movement) or he has a huge onfidence issue. He had his chance to bring it tonight and failed. He needs some coaching work to find the footballer who cost 8m or someone made a huge mistake.

Sako is a threat, Sheaf is solid but laboured tonight. Allen not match fit. Milan was much better but lacks confidence to beat his man. The CB's are capable but we need to play without Faz I'm afraid. Wilson has been brilliant and every keeper has a mare once in a while.

Simms I thought much improved last game but was dropped? Godden has done nothing wrong and will always score.
The system is not working. We have good players. They are not all performing. It's time for a roasting and come in for extra training. Robins will get it taken care of, but it will require a couple of shocks to implement. Wright will leave in January imo. Simms will come good if they get his attitude fixed or he too will be gone. But it can all change quickly once the goals go in and the confidence is back.

Still early days and lots of points to play for.

It's worrying that they got 3/4 seriously major calls wrong tonight.

I'm in the absolutely minority but I'd take VAR-lite that they discussed last season. Basically an extra official on the touchline with an iPad. He wouldn't check every decision but would clearly look at those 3/4 tonight.

Honestly though what is the point of playing a back 5, playing defensively and playing to win possession every single game if we can’t keep a clean sheet? At home as well, it’s just so poor.

I’m still yet to see an advantage of 5 at the back and still yet to see us progress this season using it. The box worked a lot better today, I realise we lost but that was down to a poor keeper mistake and a shit linesman, other than that we looked more threatening. As soon as we reverted back to the 2 up top shit it fell apart again. I seriously hope we don’t go back to playing Godden and Simms up top in a 2 again. Play them individually as lone strikers by all means but as soon as we lose that extra midfielder we lose control of the game.

Officials were disgusting tonight. Blatant penalty, an offside my 14 year old called from behind the goal and not to mention the treatment Sakamoto got with zero help from Mr Mary feckin Poppins wannabe. Integrity of these officials is abysmal.

Genuinely each official we’ve had from the Norwich game onwards we should have filed a complaint.

No you won't. Which is pretty sad to be honest. If you're going to say something at least see it through.

That was a depressing watch and a more depressing 2 1/2 hour drive home. Don't think a single player had a good game for us. Best we had was ok.

If you watch the offside back it’s very marginal. Hardly obvious.

Wrong. West Brom had the better chances even after sitting on a lead for 75 mins. 1.96 xg v 1.82, 3 big chances v 2.

There is now a clear blueprint to getting a win against us. Sit deep, score from errors/set pieces and then sit back and defend the lead.

We had several less offside given, including ones by the same Lino. Not an excuse.

Sitting not far from the lino’s position it looked blatant and more so than the ones he was giving against Wright first half. Pure incompetence

It was criminal that Wright didn’t hit the target with both his chances really. The fee ain’t his fault though
Click to expand...
The fee isn't his fault, but playing with no passion no commitment and having no fire in his belly IS his fault.

It's like Wright and Simms feel like they have nothing to prove here, and they are too big for us.

Gyokeres was totally different, he played like he had a point to prove, and like he knew this was his last chance to make it in the game. I havnt seen that level of commitment in the two new strikers.

It's just annoying and this forum is for venting as my wife and kid don't give a shit.
There was such a feel good factor going into the season despite the play off defeat... Wasps being gone meant the stadium was starting to feel like home, £20 million spent regardless of how we came about it is a fucking shit load at this level, record season tickets numbers backed up the excitement.. and this is what is being served up. Its appalling.

Defeats I can accept if the players are giving it 100% for the whole game . Some appear not be. They earn shit loads more than the majority of us and we part with our hard earned to support them and we have been backing them to the hilt on match days . The least we can expect is reciprocated effort Additionally if we fuck up in our employment regularly we get either reprimands/warnings or the boot .
