We can say this again and againWe don't get enough people in the box because our back 5 start so deep. Bayliss needs to be receiving the ball between halfway and top of the centre circle in their half but most of the time he's collecting it 10 yards outside our own box where our actual defensive midfielder should be. Then Chaplin is drawn into (or instructed to be) where Bayliss should be and JCH is totally isolated (and makes the most awful runs when we counter). Too much pressure on our strikers the way we set up now to take the 1 or 2 chances that will come our way in a game, just like the first half of last season. We need to play more actual football instead of the direct 60 yard running of Bayliss and Thomas. Their skill on the ball is important but it needs to be targetted over short distance and where it will really hurt the opposition. Bayliss is blowing out his arse by the time he gets to the edge of their box and it all stems from how deep Doyle plays.
The 2nd came from Chaplin running away from the ball with his back to itSurprised Brown is being marked so well. Yes he got forward a bit but he got caught out of position frequently. Don't know where he was for their first goal but it came from his side, and if I remember right their 2nd goal came from an extremely casual pass from him to lose us possession, from when they broke to score.
I wonder how much all the shite about the stadium effects the players?Just got back and some of you way too generous with scores! Not many cone out of that with credit.
Doyle ran around chasing shadows and didn't even tackle. Was too slow on the ball and usual set piece rubbish from him.
Hiwula I thought had turned a corner a few weeks back with those couple of goals but I hope he makes me eat these words because I really think he's complete dog shit.
Brown is too slow in possession and has no pace. Woefully out of position having given the ball away for the second and the first was down his side too. Not good enough.
Chaplin I'm getting more concerned about. Not just the penalty but wayward passes, looks a yard short of pace, no understanding or link up with JCH, terrible free kick and missed a one on one (decent save but should've scored).
Honestly if any of those 4 above scored above a 2 they're lucky!
Add to that Grimmers distribution wasn't great, Willis and Hyam got bullied too easily, Bayliss drifts in and out of the game but did need a partner in the middle.
Of the sub Davies pinged a few decent passes, Andreu barely got involved and Baka on a hiding to nothing shoved on for the last few with no service but possibly should've done better with one right at the end.
Positives - Jono put himself about a bit, Burge a couuplof top drawer saves and Luke Thomas was the pick of the bunch - pity he's not ours!
Fans were decent, Robins was shit, Barton's a knob with a tackle right in front of him and the ref bottled sending off Husband in the first half which might have changed things but we didn't deserve anything.
People moan at players like Shipley but when you see players not working back and doubling up down the flank covering, you have to respect what he does for the team. I'd bring him back in, Sterling, try something anything different in the middle, combination of 2 from Kelly, Ogogo and Westbrooke and god knows what up top but think Baka worth a chance.
Not come away from a game feeling that low for ages and on a day when our joke owners decide to fek us up too!
No excuse for the last few games. We shouldn't let them or robins hide behind thatI wonder how much all the shite about the stadium effects the players?

You can tell if JCH is going to have a good game within the first 5 minutes. He either comes out storming, battling with everyone and winning the ball or just jogs around. He then goes on to either have a great game or be completely anonymous, there is no in between with him. At least Biamou, for all his limitations, gave his all every game. there is a reason McNulty said he loved playing with Biamou but not a word about JCH.Jonson Clarke Harris isn’t good enough unfortunately, he’s had a fair crack at it last season and this season.
He does some good stuff occasionally but generally looks flat footed and reactive rather than proactive and little awareness of what’s around him.
He is probably better as a bit of a battering ram when we want to mix it up and try bully the opposition as he isn’t well suited for link up and balls into his feet
Yes must admit I wondered that too. Can’t exactly have encouraged them they need to stay at CCFC for the rest of their careers. . Bloody bloody bloody SISU when will they fcoff ?I wonder how much all the shite about the stadium effects the players?

You need to watch the video Rob . A few good things from them but I doubt Gareth will be watching them anytime soon ( and yes I know Doyle’s is Irish ) !Even in that first half did you see anything good from Doyle, Hiwula, Brown or Chaplin?
