Really at sea on what we should do.

Maybe even a 442 with Wright and BTA together?

just think the 433 is way too passive

Wright needs to be dropped. So Mason Clark on the left and I’d go Simms
Up top. Sheaf for Allen too.

Wright is our most dangerous attacker. We can’t drop him.

If there's a 2 up front I'd go wright and Simms as Simms goal stats are better with a top 2. I wouldn't though I'd push wright on the left and Simms up top.

The shape and personnel are irrelevant if you fundamentally struggle against teams that sit in front of you and wait for the counter. This team just can’t do it

Wilson
Mve
Thomas
Kitch
Dasilva
Grimes
Sheaf
Rudoni
Emc
Saka
Wright

Just gotta hope for a miracle, but this summer we need to move on Simms, Asante and all the other deadwood.

Wright aswell, his numbers are brilliant but when he's off he is useless.

Then it isn’t a matter of formation, it’s a matter of instructions. We move the ball too slowly, then get impatient, make a bad decision and give away the ball.

For this to work we need to pass and move at pace.

Wtf Asante shoukd not have started based on his 20 mins vs boro. Completely different game today. Needed an aerial presence today. Simms shoukd start. Only change

His opposite number did. At around 60 minutes the game was really turning against us and the goal was inevitable.

When you only know how to play one way you are gambling that the opponent doesn’t have the antidote. I didn’t think they did, I was wrong.

I am not sure Sheaf and Grimes works at the moment. Eccles would be similar. I think we need to bring Jamie Allen back in alongside Grimes. We just need more energy and to move the ball quicker, which Allen does.
If Mason-Clark is match fit I would start him for Wright.

Simms was useless against Boro, he never won a header all day. Definitely need to move him on in the summer

He kind of blurred into the ineffective dross that constituted our attacking play.

Probably same back 4 and midfield 3 but tinker with the front 3.

Think Simms should start, and you tell him to just try and tire out the Sunderland defence. Smash into them every chance you get and run the centre backs ragged.

Haji probably doesn't deserve to start, one good match since he's back from injury but is EMC fit to start and two even if fully fit is he a much better option that Haji off the left.

Been like that for weeks.
I can wave off a lot of the shit from players but not giving a fuck when you have his,ability is unforgivable.

Ludicrous to start BTA tonight. Not sure what Lampard was thinking there.

Ellis back in, BTA on the bench.

Does show a little bit of a lack of tactical awareness imo. He did we'll against a tired defence when the game was stretched and they were chasing the match, completely different to how tonight's match was going to be.

He wasn't on for long and put I perfect cross in to Wright who should have hit it first time. I don't think he lost the ball once. Can't think of when he had an opportunity to shoot?

Playing against a team in a low block, you have to make use of the time before they’re set again. We didn’t do that once.

You could say that its exactly the sort of thing robins used to do isnt it ?

A player has a good half , robins would start him next game , but Simms has offered so little lately

One/two touch passing with off the ball movement is the antidote to it.

He pissed me off tonight, attitude fucking stinks.
I'd rather play Bassette and watch his headless chicken routine for 90 minutes than that lacklustre, can't be arsed bollocks.

Few times he gets the ball he tries to run it in on his own. Playing for himself.

I mean he’s by far the worst passer in the team so maybe that’s why.

75% possession and he had 23 touches. Genuinely disgraceful.
