Rushworth has made a few good saves, but don’t the underlying numbers point to us actually just being quite good in both boxes?
I do understand / get that feeling myself (re; us being lucky in some games), but I think most of it is us having to get used to having a competent goalkeeper and quality forwards!
I will add I think its perfectly acceptable to flip out at the game as a one off. Football is an emotional game and people like to vent. It was pretty shite tbh.More of a 60/40 split imo.
Lol half the folks on here are carrying on line we have already won the league. Get a grip.
It’s not reactionary but I’ve never had us down once for autos and I still don’t.
People can see and coukd have predicted this. And did.
Play the wrong formation. Lampards reminding me of Keegan at Newcastle. And we know how that went.
Yes, still the only unbeaten side in EnglandUnfortunately our run came to an end ( although we still haven’t lost a league game in England …… if that counts ? )
In the end a disappointing evening , with a good few off colour , but look where we are & the boys go again on Tuesday , to another packed stadium ….
Onwards & upwards Skyblues
Do you think Rudoni does more than BTA in terms of dropping in to help the midfield or do you think a total change of formation is needed regardless?A lot of people criticising the tactics were those that before the game were picking a team without Sakamoto who was probably our best player last night, and is a player that helps provide shape and discipline to our team. Injuries, suspensions and form largely dictated the team we played last night, and in retrospect BTA was probably the player that needed to be omitted in favour of another midfielder the way the game played out, but given his recent form that was never going to happen. Big call moving forward but I don't think we can start with all of Saka, BTA, Wright & EMC, without risking getting overrun in midfield and being dominated like we mostly were last night.

I think a 433 as opposed to the 4231 from last night will work again like it did most season.
BTA has been great this year and his work rate whilst on the wings is massive tracking back etc ... I don't think he has technical enough to drop into a midfield like Rudoni is
In fairness , keegans newcastle finished 3rd 6th and 2nd in the premier league .. we wouldnt mind thatPeople can see and coukd have predicted this. And did.

Yeah I agree. He has been undroppable but I think even with Eccles in there we would have had a stronger underbelly... I would say however, this is purely 5pm Jury with 20/20 hindsight.Yes, agree with that. BTA doesn't have the skill or control that Rudoni has but to be fair its not really fair to compare them as BTA is a forward who we shoehorned into that position as we couldn't really leave him out given his hot form.
Don't think the cup game counts so I would assume he is still available. Hopefully Bobby will be back tooI think the loss isn't great but brings people down to earth a lil bit even the players. Some of the interviews from players and the dribble our fans have been posting online is a cringe so early on. I do want to see a bounce back on Tuesday of sorts. The injuries just caught up yesterday realistically having 5 first teamers out we couldn't compete to best of our ability. Big loss next game will be kitching after picking up his 5th yellow of the season
Personnel by the look of it, not sure about that myself, anyway going away from home is a bit rich with a two but revolutionary all the same,truth is we had it under control first half while being lacklustre overall.I think the frustration is rhat we got away with playing 2 in the middle v Blackburn and even 10 man Watford dominated us second half with an Allen and Grimes midfield
Why Frank insisted on setting up that way tonight is seemingly what's pissed people off
Its been coming for a few games now and the fact nothing was done to mitigate it is whats got my goat
No problem with the loss, Wrexham by far the better side
Ahhh yeah if kitch is available then that is roseyDon't think the cup game counts so I would assume he is still available. Hopefully Bobby will be back too
Was he there last night watching a screen or something?Ahhh yeah if kitch is available then that is roseyhopefully thomas is back and we get playing ball how we were before the pompey game
He was shown on the camera loads of times in a tracksuit on the benchWas he there last night watching a screen or something?
