That's the thing with O'hare especially he gets places and reads the game better than most of our other players. If only he could finish things off.

But then if he had that in his game already there is no way Villa would have let him go.

It'll click and when it does he'll be worth £££s. Still doing his bit so far, he is all over the shop, never stops. Few good assists. Think he would have done better with a Godden type in front making clever runs

I knew championship was gonna be grim. And the target has always beeen head above water. But I hate what losing is doing to opinions of players. Hyam deserves so much recognition for what he's done with us. Shipley has played a part, max. All of a sudden we're turning on our players, it's horrible to see but it's such a ruthless sport. You're only as good as your last game and at the moment we're in big trouble

Might just be me but I'd rather see a flat back 4. Every time I watch us with the 3 I feel it's unorganised and there's too much distance between the CB. Like someone said it works if you have mobile defenders but Pukki outpacing hyam today shows we don't. We need to shut up shop and play our most physical players. We're in a league now where pretty much every player is an athlete.

Muck first half, utter fucking rubbish. Big improvement second half when Walker was gone , lazy individual, no wonder Forest let him go. Two big men up front, fuck fancy build up play from the back, we can't do it, hoof it clear and press high to stay up. Hamer looked frustrated and wayward tonight and his indiscipline rankles. Shippers a pale shadow. Struggle is on for sure.Kelly, James and Hamer together have to be accommodated. All honest workers.

I don’t care if Walker sits on a deck chair waiting the ball his job is to score goals let the other players run around and give him a chance to score. Robbie Simpson worked hard and Mick Quinn didn’t I know which one I would prefer in my team.

Let's be brutally honest about tonight's match. If we compare the contributions of Walker and Biamou in a half each, Walker 2/10, Biamou 7/10. Tyler is not physical enough and I couldn't for the life of me, depend on his work rate. Go Max and Gygores up front for the rest of season and boot the ball from back four coz we can't pass it from the back with confidence. Hyam is struggling and Rose needs more game time. Boot it forward ta fuck.

Dogshit match last night Hamer and walker didn't get in to the game at all. Most ineffective performance from Hamer all season so probably marked out of it. That pitch needs so much work too. The way the ball moves on it doesn't give a team low on confidence much chance against teams that have way more quality.

Up to the worst striker we have by some distance, so we can leave our only finisher on the bench because he’s not a big lad.

They all come out when we lose a couple.

This place is going to be nuts until March.

It's amazing how people react to losing 2-0 to the team top of the league that have loads of their PL team left.

The path to staying up was never likely to include dicking Norwich. Saturday on here will be fun.

Lets get the next couple of stinker games out the way and see where were are.

Norwich play Rotherham, Blues and Wycombe next so they are more than likely going to beat the teams around us in the next couple of weeks as well.

Robins got tactics and formation completely wrong as did many for the Norwich game should never have played three at the back with wing backs it was a 4-3-3 formation for that match every day of the week.

Very surprised and disappointed Robins did not see that and instead had Shipley in as a makeshift wing back......

Hopefully lessons learned....anyhow onto the Brentford game....

How can he play a 433 with no left back ? Or did you want Shipley in a back 4 ? We should of recalled mason and played the 433

As I have said several times I would have played DaCosta there for this game he has played there before......I also would have had Osti in at Right Back to add some pace .....Hyam would have rested and would have played Rose and Fadz as centre back it is simple and made much more sense than the tripe and formation we did serve up.

He could of possibly used DaCosta there and Pask right back yes I see that point I do agree tho wing backs need to go now it’s time to earn his money and get us going

Problem is who plays wide? Sheaf can’t play left of a midfield 3. So it would be Hamer, James, Allen in the 3.

Up front that leaves o’hare behind Walker and Max I assume.

It leaves us with no width and effectively a diamond midfield which from past experience should give us nightmares.

So it would turn out to be nothing like a 4-3-3 in reality

We’ve got no width anyway on our left.

We just don’t have the players. No target man, not enough pace and skill.

The best I can come up with is a three of O’Hare and Györkeres wider with Walker though the middle. But even that isn’t great and pushes O’Hare wider than I’d want.

Scary isn’t it I’ve no idea what Robins was thinking in January. What system did he think these players were going to fit?

Best I can imagine is a 3-5-2 with Hamer right, O’hare left and one of sheaf, Kelly or James holding. Downside of that is we have to play Max or Gyo

Id like to see Györkeres and Walker together in a two. I mean why not, nothing else is working. Just want two players with a bit of strikers instinct on the pitch. At least then we might not be working it wide and crossing to O’Hare on his own all game.

Wingbacks and those 2 up front is the way to go on Saturday.

We are likely to lose even if we go defensive so might as well have a go.

Id rather lose 3-0 because we were caught on the break/cut open than see us lose 3-0 because we stuck ten men behind the ball for 80 minutes and still gifted them three goals.
