Why funny? Do you disagree?
Why funny? Do you disagree?If we don’t step up we may well lose 4 on the bounce
Get back on your bikeLooking for a lift back to Coventry, if anyone can help please?
Agreed. We lost, we were awful. Every single one of them should know they were not even close to where they should be.It's this complacency that the winning run has given us. We can't win game after game, at some point you're going to put in a poor performance and get punished - the teams not a machine. It could have been last weekend, the week before, or next weekend. Hopefully they regroup now and focus.
I mean we’ve conceded 6 goals in our last 3 games, whereas all 4 clean sheets kept in the last 11 league games were a variation of 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1.Disagree
Was it? They are absolutely shit and in the bottom 3
But dropping two of our in form players negates your theoryI mean we’ve conceded 6 goals in our last 3 games, whereas all 4 clean sheets kept in the last 11 league games were a variation of 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1.
the clean sheets were against Blackburn, Bristol, QPR who are all around us and Swansea.
whilst the last 3 games have been against Oxford, Stoke and Derby. All 3 teams woefully out of form.
the results would support my theory
Based on tonight or the previous 11 games that have us firmly in the playoffs?Wright and Bidwell . Fucking awful. Also not as sold on Grimes as everyone else.
This lot don’t have the bottle for play offs.
No it doesn’t - it’s a team sport. I’m not saying there isn’t a role for them. But you play the side that is best equipped to not concede.But dropping two of our in form players negates your theory
Still disagree . Tonight was just one of those games we throw in every season . Giving away silly fouls is killing us currently.No it doesn’t - it’s a team sport. I’m not saying there isn’t a role for them. But you play the side that is best equipped to not concede.
we’re currently in a position where we have to score 2 just to get a draw.
we were the same earlier in the season when we had 4 at the back.
it’s a results business. Not an individual business.
We were scoring goals and not conceding with at the back. Someone put a graph up earlier that suggests that we’re creating less and it coincides with the change in formation.Still disagree .

Dropping two of our biggest goal threats because we are worried about conceding is madness to me

Not sure emc is in form, is he? Plus he's injuredBut dropping two of our in form players negates your theory
Bit unfair on Wright, I think.Wright and Bidwell . Fucking awful. Also not as sold on Grimes as everyone else.

Bit unfair on Wright, I think.
The guy has just come back from injury and is clearly lacking sharpness. Very hard to just come back in after weeks out and be immediately match fit.
I'm sure we'll see Wright back at his best very soon. Hopefully, on Saturday, we will see something approaching the Wright we remember.
Wright looks like he’s been out for four years rather than four months unfortunately. That was a woeful display but let’s hope the minutes in his legs will bring benefits in upcoming games.Bit unfair on Wright, I think.

I don't care what anyone says Sheaf in the squad is better than him sitting in the stand.
And now he's not, by a mile.He was our best midfielder until grimes signed. By a mile.
Think Rudoni being out is a blocker for the 3-4-2-1 personally. Not sure who could play his role in the squad.We were scoring goals and not conceding with at the back. Someone put a graph up earlier that suggests that we’re creating less and it coincides with the change in formation.
Sakamoto has played in the 3-4-2-1. EMC can still play that role. They need to adapt
Possibly Torp?Think Rudoni being out is a blocker for the 3-4-2-1 personally. Not sure who could play his role in the squad.
It’s hard due to the role he was playing as looking at he was the left wingback in name but played more as a left sided midfielder who cut in.Possibly Torp?
I think we’re gonna have to revert to the flat 3-5-2.
It wasn’t pretty but we stopped leaking goals, and given our next 3 games this is an urgency
Possession meant absolutely nothing. They would have let us knock it about all we wanted like we did.I thought a few people would have a meltdown when we finally lost a game but didn't expect this many.
From the reactions you would think it was Derby who had nearly 70% of the possession and it was us that only had 2 shots on target. I agree we didn't play well but it's difficult against 10 players in the box defending and playing on the break with speed.
Let's try to remember that most of our best players are either injured or coming back from injury. We're playing with a makeshift side trying to get fitness into players. We're in a much better position than most thought possible. We have 3 difficult games coming up but 2 are at home. Sunderland won't be coming here to put all 11 players in the box. Burnley got a player and their manager sent off last night.
Well that was so poor. Got to keep balance, but it’s the manor of defeat that stings to an awful team.
Been said Bidwell and wright good god. Wright in particular, not acceptable, don’t care how un match fit you are. If I was simms getting hooked and wright staying on, I’d have gone berserk after.
Last night was crying out for Jamie Allen for me. Not sure the reluctance to use him?
worrying trend of leaking goals building again.
last night was down to mindset, we actually started quite well and really dictated game for literally until 1st goal, then just lost every battle, 2nd ball etc etc.
2nd goal looked clearly out also.
Park it, on to Saturday, now a huge game, huge.
As for sheaf, not really sure what to say anymore.
Don't worry Lamps is good at breaking curses
