Spineless. Formation and attitude wise.

Look, we're still top, I still believe. Teams have bad days. But Frank and Doug need to act, otherwise it's playoffs again.

Not bad for a cheap signing from Lincoln, meanwhile we've got big £9m Ellis Simms who can't or won't jump more than 3cm if of the floor.

And haji wright who goes so hot and cold.

Simms wasn’t £9m

Thomas and Kitching were absolutely awful and unfortunately Grimes seems to be more and more ineffective as each game goes by.

I was shocked by just how bad Bobby and Liam were but Grimes for me the last 7 or 8 games has been exposed on so many occasions.

Teams press us on the left hand side which instantly removes Grimes from the game. The most worrying factor is he has no legs, a few times tonight Makana a big 6ft4 lump showed him up.

I dont know what the answer is but you look around the division Shef U have Hamer and others Ipswich have Nunez ball playing midfielders box to box with legs on um, Grimes orchestrated games for the majority of this season until teams figured out a way to nullify his strengths and now he looks conpletely exposed and useless.

Over the season to date we would be 13th with that form.

We have been poor for months. Our form is going to have to improve pretty fucking quick if we’re not to finish in the playoffs.

Not buying Norwich being the better team that some are peddling tbh. Overall not at all, we've literally gifted them the points which is why the vein in my head popped i think. We're so fucking clumsy.

It’s actually mental we are top of the league. We’ve looked like a lower half team with nothing v to play for for a while now

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us go 3-4-3 next game and bring Lati back in.

We have to be better at the back.

No? Sure it was 3m upfront then like 6m in additional fees which I'm sure he is chipping away at.

You could put Christiano Ronaldo on corners, its the pathetic cunts hes aiming at are the problem. Its the long throws we need to give up on. Theyre pathetic, havent work for months. We're more likely to concede from a counter from them than we are to score! They need fucking off.

Ronaldo is shite at set pieces that dont involve shooting, better examples would be Ward-Prowse and Beckham

We're far too easy to score against at the moment. It costs us every game and if we can't keep a clean sheet we've had it.

In front of goal we always play to many passes then loose the ball
In midfield we are 2nd best to every ball
In defence we just run alongside the attacking play without trying to win the ball off them or even trying the basics of positioning yourself between the attacking player and your goal
No players with any fight or bottle
It’s slipping away from us. I fear if we drop into play off position we won’t do it
We need new tactics sooner rather than later

I can’t remember who said it the other week about Simms and him looking like he plays in Jeans but I can’t unsee it now. What is the point!

Watch these get turned over by Boro at the weekend aswell.

The very least we can do is sacrifice the 10, because whoever plays there ends up shite anyway, and put the extra man in midfield and go 433

This is the worry. IMO we got worked out at the end of last season and it cost us big time as we had no plan B.

We can't be in the same situation again.

Im not sure what Plan B we can do with the midfield options we have

You could throw paulo maldini in that back line and it wouldnt make no difference when they are left 4 on 3 or 3 on 3 all the time on the counter .

We need to tighten up

Got exactly what we deserved. Woeful performance from any player representing CCFC; no one comes out of that with any credit whatsoever.

Piss poor passing, ball control and movement. Failure to do any of the basics; completely over run in midfield, bullied defensively and didn't capitalise on the opportunities we did muster. Perfect recipe for the result we got.

Serious test for the clubs management now.

He also needs to learn from his own mistakes. Because at the moment, I am not seeing that he is.

Who is your Matty James or Kyle McFadzean in that dressing room who is going to tell a few home truths and snap them out of this?

Same team full of fannies that got Robins the sack, not a set of bollocks between them.

I don’t think the team has made the transition mentally to being favourites, league leaders etc. Ironically confidence seems to have dipped- don’t think most of them are dealing well with being favourites and having a target on our back.

Game tonight could’ve gone either way but individual mistakes have cost us.

BTA shouldn’t play the 10 again- we’ve never controlled games particularly well with him there and it’s worse now we have less control generally.

Not play 4 up front.

Emc was a liability defensively.
