May I correct your statement slightly. "No rhyme or reason .It's just what certain fans do".One mistake and he is the worlds worst forget about the number of times he has saved us.

We need our cbs to step forward and break a line and he’s not good at that
Binks and Lati are excellent
It’s all too slow
Although for 30 mins we were excellent

Generally in a 3/5 back your wide centrebacks step out while your middle is the anchor, no?

I think Fadz is head and shoulders above the rest defensively, and provides experience in what is otherwise a very young team.

Wow it was just slightly over his head but yep it was a good header and he shouldn’t have let him get it

I don't think Fadz was poor, except for when he got blatantly pushed for their goal and allowed their player to outjump him

Hoping for:

Wilson
Van Ewijk, Binks, McFadz, Kitching, Dasilva
Lati, Sheaf
Ayari, Saka
Simms

But I’m guessing we’ll get the same team as last game, not the worst I suppose, we should be beating Rotherham either way.

That’s not a reason to not give him a rest from time to time. If you are trying to enhance the quality of your team then competition is a must.

He was pushed before the goal which put him enough off balance to give the scorer an advantage. I would say it was subtle but still a foul, not a coming together or shoulder to shoulder. Just because shit refs often never give it as a foul does not mean it was not a foul. MR who is experienced enough to know criticising refs gets you nowhere alluded to it, which I interpret as he thinks it was a foul. Look at it . If you don't think it's a foul fair enough. I thought there was a blatant holding of Simms in their area too although not as bad as Vik at Blackburn that was never given

Depends on the keeper. Whomever takes them should bomb them in if they are in swingers. Need to vary it more with short corners. At the other end, we were brilliant at defending them last year. We are rubbish at defending crosses this year.

True, although given the circumstances I think it’s important we play our strongest team tonight. And to me that means starting Fadz.

I’d like to see us play with more tempo tonight. Of course you have to slow it down sometimes but we are a bit predictable at the moment.

“Problem” with Fadz is his pace and how it means we have to play a lot deeper than otherwise.

You’d be very annoyed if we’d scored that and a foul was given - Wilson should have kept it out anyway

Surprised Sakamoto dropped but he did look very tired by the end.

Sakamoto dropped. Eccles still picked. FFS.

Good to see Callum back, at least.

Dabo used to look tired in the 5th minute and still played.

O'Hare makes the bench!

Tatsu dropped after playing reasonably well.

And what have I missed with this "I just don't think you understand?" Has Billy Ray Cyrus revealed he's a City fan or something?
