I would like to think we will eventually learn, because last night wasn't exactly a one off. It was like Birmingham all over again.
Anyway, if we learn from this then we should be more than fine.
Yes, without a doubt. Esse is not a winger. I wouldn't play this formation away from home. 5 at the back.You'd start Saka over Esse?

and Wrexham. Birmingham, Wrexham and Norwich all looked hungrier and more committed than usI would like to think we will eventually learn, because last night wasn't exactly a one off. It was like Birmingham all over again.
Standard embarrassing reaction from a lot of the people on here and Twitter whenever we lose a game.
Reality of yesterday is, it’s probably a draw overall and a silly mistake cost us. It’s going to happen to us, Boro and Ipswich over the next 3 months.
Immediately screaming about needing two new CBs and a LB whenever we lose a game does my head in. We’re top and clear of 3rd by 8 points with 17 games to go ffs.

We were on to beat Southampton until JDS committed suicide. Charlton got lucky and we should have beaten them. Only Ipswich were better when we played at home, and even then it took them until 72 minutes to score. The scoreline away to Ipswich didnt truly reflect the performance. Still, we have only lost 5 all seasonAnd Ipswich and Charlton and Southampton. “But but but” every time.

Yes id call that stupid. I called it.Wow thats an attacking line up.
Basically a front 5 if u include Torp.
Problem for me is the front 4 arnt inclined to chase back. Or help defence
We could get ripped apart. Or could be doing the taking a part.!!
Its certainly brave. In 90 mins might be calling it stupid.
Furious that he took it, it was a ball for a left footer to takeAnyone else still fuming with Torp's delivery from that freekick right at the end ? To not even beat the first man from there was criminal
I would. Esse is a luxury we can’t afford away from home. Saka is miles above defensively.
Your one post i agree with.I would. Esse is a luxury we can’t afford away from home. Saka is miles above defensively.
Honestly I'd take another 9 points right now from our last 8. Would mean we need 20 or so points from 9 home matches.9 points from our last 9 away games
2 wins 3 draws 4 defeats
The difference is that incident was seen by the referee, they awarded a freekick but wrongly didn't give a card of any colour. The BTA was missed by both the ref and the linesman, so retrospective action can be taken.A couple of seasons ago, Jamie Allen was hospitalised after a Sheff W player planted his elbow into his jaw in the Cup Replay and the FA were not interested in any respective action - On that precedent I would actually be surprised to see any retrospective action taken but we all know the FA enforce their rules as and when they please them, so what happens is anyone's guess
JDS trying to clear with his left foot is just pathetic in that situation. Also annoying but not really his fault that Bobby Thomas deflected their second in, I think Rushworth would have saved it otherwise.Can we learn how to hook a ball away from the goal line. 3 times now we have smashed it in to our own net

Yeah I'm still confused why he did that and not just put it out the ground with his right foot which he could easily have done. It was him trying to use his left that put it in.JDS trying to clear with his left foot is just pathetic in that situation.

Thomas did the same thing against Birmingham, tried to clear it with the wrong foot.
And?
I think that summed up Thomas' night tbh. Wasn't moving well all night, slow in getting back in on corners when they countered, think his first 50/50 he tried to be clever and they nearly scored from it. Really predictable in his passing, Kitching on the other hand, overdid the diags, and then because his build up was slow, wasn't finding the passes in between the midfield lines to BTA. Just really poor from those two last night, when in the main have been steady enough all season.JDS trying to clear with his left foot is just pathetic in that situation.

So I'm saying it's happened a few times unnecessarily this season. Is that OK with you?
Nice to see you've suddenly remembered who our left back is though, funny how you haven't mentioned his name for months.
I know you are the founder member of the JDS preservation society but he’s a defensive car crash waiting to happen every single week. He’s never in a million years ever going to make the next level up anyway so we should have looked to addressed it.
Yes I was trying to think what goal it was where it happened recentlyThomas did the same thing against Birmingham, tried to clear it with the wrong foot.
It seems like a completely arbitrary distinction to make - either it’s serious foul play worthy of being punished in retrospect or not.The difference is that incident was seen by the referee, they awarded a freekick but wrongly didn't give a card of any colour. The BTA was missed by both the ref and the linesman, so retrospective action can be taken.

Its probably why MVE play better making forward runs when Tats is playing instead of Es… Tats puts a lot of defensive work in as well and covers for MVE on the overlap where as Esse doesnt. MVE doesnt trust Esse to cover defensively so he sits backMVE was having a go at him multiple times asking for more support.
You could see him saying ‘I can’t do it, I can’t take two’, as he was constantly getting overrun.
EMC gave Dasilva zero help as well.
