Shocked this season I felt our system would be a problem for most the one area I felt strong was defence they have all lost confidence by the looks of it rose is a shadow of the player he was not even close

I honestly didn’t expect us to be having to rely on Biamou this season...it’s an area that is going to need to be addressed in January

I would rather have Walker and Godden up top as I trust them both more to score sitters than Max.

Yeah me too but playing more direct with them isn’t going to be much fun

...exactly, hence my point...
We are playing more direct and not convinced at all about Godden and Walker as a pairing with it.

Well there’s nothing like shooting ourselves in the foot again! Teams we play don’t even have to create anything as we put it on a plate for them.
Watford didn’t even really have to get out of first gear.

We'll still get the chances though, and at least those two don't need so many opportunities to put one in.

Not as naive as some of our fans who called it as the wrong system for last season?
At the start of this season early games we were short of options due to injuries.

Look as disappointed as we all feel we competed with a team not long out of the prem... they have expensive quality we dont BUT we competed and but for a couple of lapses in concentration we could have come away with 3 points...yes we have to stop these lapses ..sooner rather than later and we aren't far off.

I did struggle to see what Allen actually now brings to the team that Kelly cannot!!!

It's a results business. You don't get any points for playing well and losing. It's all well and good saying we deserve more points but until we start actually getting them people are rightfully going to be concerned. There are no certainties in football. No guarantee we're suddenly going to stop throwing these games away.

Having watched both games, yeah it is criminal. We should have won both games, arguably handily

For me, Bapaga and or Bakayoko should have come on instead of Allen, we were losing, we had nothing to lose, but Robins puts on a rightback and Allen.

gotta assume your either just annoyed due to result or it’s beer o’clock. You can’t really be advocating a 43 year old striker ?

No because we keep imploding in the same predictable way. We look like we'll concede 100 or more

thats the bit I don’t get about MR critism. Allen has had more experience at this level than not subs combined. When MR is getting critised for not put Baka on, if nothin else, it shows the gulf in budgets

Disappointing to say the least should have got something from this game as we should have against Forest one positive we ain’t in the bottom three I thought when I saw the run of fixtures three weeks ago we would have been. We have two weeks now to re-group get the injured players fit and raring to go, no easy games in this league but the next batch up to xmas not as daunting as the last lot I’m confident we can and will do better.
Have to say though I’m puzzled about our substitutions in both matches, why ?

We're 3-2 down with 5 to play, we have a striker and an attacking midfielder on the bench. But his subs are a right back and central midfielder on. Nothing to do with budget.
