In his last season here (where for the majority of the season we played a similar system to this, if less attacking) we kept 12 clean sheets. You need to make your mind up whether it's the players or the coaches, you're flailing around with your Kitching obsession.
I am not 'stanning' for any of them.
I've mentioned repeatedly that there's an argument for all of them to be dropped. For me, in the last month or so, JDS and Kitching have been the stand out poor performers in the back line. It's multiple times, every single game. Even if we don't get punished, they are making so many errors.
They both need to be taken out of the team.
Its both. The players are crap and the only coach I’ve seen who can overcome that with a system is Lawrence. I think most Championship defences are pretty poor but our CBs are spectacularly poor at defending one on one or defending their box which means they don’t compensate at all.
Thomas is one of the biggest bluffers this club has ever had - I would have drove him to Sheffield United for the fee that was being banded around in the summer, he really is no better than an okayish Championship centre half yet the fanbase has hyped him into some sort of EFL Van DijkThey are not, they can defend their box. If we sat 20 yards deeper and their job was to defend the box, it'd be fine. The problem we've got is that we are more often that not defending on the 'transition' where we're completely out of shape. QPR's goal is a perfect example.
I am not sure why Kitching decided to go and challenge for that second ball in the run up, Grimes was nearby and should have taken that. I do think though Thomas has looked very lackadaisical since returning to the side, seems to have switched off.
For who? We’ve spunked our CB slot on Woolfenden who looks even worse and have three LBs where Dasilva is still the standout by a mile. Maybe KKH there.

Woolfenden has barely played. I cannot see why he wouldn't be worth a shot at this point. He didn't look great against Wrexham, but who did? I don't see how we can play players who are making mistakes to this level every game, which Kitching and JDS are. KKH then needs to come in for JDS.
We have two players on the books who are, on paper, top players at this level. The fact they are sitting on the bench seems bizarre to me given what has been happening on the pitch.
I'd change the whole back 4,send aI’ve been very vocal about my like and dislike for Kitching/Thomas and Latibeaudiere respectively, haven’t said that much about Woolfenden. But with the way things have been, I really wouldn’t double down on the current two. But the two wingbacks will still be guilty of the same shit anyway.
How are you judging Woolf? He has hardly played? KKH at left back, even Bidwell, on current form.For who? We’ve spunked our CB slot on Woolfenden who looks even worse and have three LBs where Dasilva is still the standout by a mile. Maybe KKH there.

…He has hardly played
even Bidwell
Typical response. Pathetic.

Be even worse for Ipswich. They should be walking this division. Throw Southampton in that too.Imagine being so far out in front, then losing out on autos to a team full of freebies.

Original for you, yes.Thought it was quite original for me tbh.
I’ll go back to words. Woolf has barely played which suggests the coaches don’t rate him. The few minutes he has played (more than KKH or Latibeaduere) he’s looked rubbish. So that’s how I can say he’s rubbish is because a) his history suggests he’s rubbish and b) all evidence we have since he signed suggests he’s rubbish.
So while yes you have hopes and dreams on the other side. I tend to go with real stuff I can see.
Calling for Bidwell when he’s been embarrassingly bad every time he’s been on the pitch for over a year now is lol worthy. Hence the lol.

So, for 8 weeks we have been poor, even the games we have won. Defensively we are shot to pieces. Kitching and Da Silva are a liability, at the moment. Earlier in the season, they were not. Frank continues to pick out of form players. Yet you are relying on "coaches don't rate him". I don't rate the coaches, based on current form.Woolf has done okay, when played, which is rare.. Difficult to show what you have, when not getting game time. Thought Bidwell did okay when he played recently, definitely a step up defensively from Da Silva, on current form.
But hey, let's keep doing the same thing, same formation, same players, same shite
Last game Bidwell played, recently, he played well defensively. Love to know when these games where "Woolf was dreadful". Both have hardly played. My favourite bit of your post is " the coaches don't rate him". Whilst the "coaches" have gone missing, for the last 8 weeks.Originality is typical for me?
Woolf did OK alongside Lats and another playing in a back 5 when all they had to do was defend their box but for me Lats did most of the work there. When Woolf has played otherwise he’s looked dreadful.
I can’t even on Bidwell. If you think he’s been good then there’s not much we’ll agree on regarding defenders.

I actually agree on Bidwell which is a rarity atmOnce again going from limited data is better than hopes and dreams. I thought he was particularly poor against Wrexham for example. And I strongly disagree that Bidwell played well against Swansea.
Everyone was poor against Wrexham, thanks to Frank's team selection/ players not available. Defensively Bidwell was solid, last game. , his crossing of the ball, not so good. Limited data you say, but you use that limited data, to judge Woolf and Bidwell. Hilarious.Once again going from limited data is better than hopes and dreams.

If he's being judged on crossing then I'm not sure jds has done very well with that.Everyone was poor against Wrexham, thanks to Frank's team selection/ players not available.

No he hasn't, his crosses are too looped up in the air and he barely ever assists anything. If you are to push your fullbacks that far forward you want better output than he offers.If he's being judged on crossing then I'm not sure jds has done very well with that.

I can't remember when we last paid a fee for a recognised left back, which is odd given that we have otherwise paid fees for every other position.1 assist and 0 goals in a team that have scored 63 goals this season. The notion that he is in the team for his forward play is a pretty thin argument for me.
