An extra body in midfield is definitely needed. I’m amazed it didn’t happen last night, even at half time.Back to basics for this. The players on the team sheet need to be the ones that are going to scrap from the first minute. We cannot afford any passengers.
This is where the problems start. Defence I am at a loss with. They are all (particularly Kitching) making so many mistakes at the moment I am genuinely not sure what to do. I want to check myself into a rehabilitation centre because I'm actually considering throwing Latibeaudiere in. I would also pick a different LB, but what are the realistic options? Striker is also an issue. I think we have a problem deciding between Wright and Simms, both of which have a habit of putting in poor performances when the going gets tough.
The one thing we can solve is the midfield. I want to see a 3 of Grimes, Eccles, and Torp. The latter should play the most attacking out of all of them, but it should be a 3.
We need to see a reaction here. I want to see blood and guts. As the old saying goes. Must win!
Just out of interest who would your back 5 be , I would like to see 3 centre halves of Kitching, Wolfenden and Thomas with Mve and Jds . Would also like to see us bin off the long throws or at least not be so reliant on themLose 2-1, confidence low. Hope he plays 5 at the back for a change.
Give it a rest ffs.A horrible horrible feeling in my gut that this might be a ‘wheels come off’ performance. I hope to god I’m wrong.

Cant see anything here. We have a good record at Loftus Road but if he sets us up the same with space for Icon of the seas to be in the middle then we lose again
Exactly that back 5Just out of interest who would your back 5 be , I would like to see 3 centre halves of Kitching, Wolfenden and Thomas with Mve and Jds . Would also like to see us bin off the long throws or at least not be so reliant on them
Issue with that is unless the full backs or Eccles push higher the front 3 comes isolatedHow I’d set us up.
Back five to try and add additional cover and force the pivot up the pitch. Eccles to give some bite in midfield. If onyeka has signed, start him there.
Our wingers don’t seem to want to track back so fine, let’s keep them high and play off the counter like we did at Pompy away.
Wish we had another leftsided CB as Kitching is out of form but got no option.
Same for Lwb (was tempted to put KKH here).

So funny when we haven’t won away in over two months to be told your dramatic when you predict a lossGive it a rest ffs.
They are told to play and stay high and wideEsse and EMC need a talking to. JD and MVE are basically on their own when teams attack us on a counter. Midfielders leave gaping holes if they get across to help. You can get away with it somewhat with MVE because of his running but JD is struggling.
Expect a reaction after last night, will be worried if there isn’t and the gaping hole in the centre of the park isn’t addressed.
2-0 City. With Boro and or Ipswich dropping points.
He's completely isolated and overwhelmed. We are playing to his weaknesses rather than his strengths. He lacks pace and physicality and likes players around him to interact with.Our captain is having a wobble at the worst possible time. Is he undroppable, looks like he needs a reset to me?
Agree apart from Id drop Grimes for Torp as we don't need 4 centre halfsHow I’d set us up.

Agreed on the points raised. I’d expect both of the wingers to play a bit more narrow as well since both naturally cut inside more and would have more space in the middle.Issue with that is unless the full backs or Eccles push higher the front 3 comes isolated
