COH and MVE have been poor for a while. It’s just easier to have a pop at JDS, Eccles, Simms et al.

Torp is absolutely not on it today either.

This is why you should never think we're playing well from stats

Bizarre. Haven’t understood the team selections and tactics for the last few weeks.

A very poor performance that.

If we play 3 at the back we have to get the wing backs forward. This is just too passive.

Robins is going to have to bury his pride and bin Dasilva off somehow in the summer - he’s beyond awful defensively

Palmer is our only player playing with any intensity and creativity. If Fadz was in the team we wouldn't have conceded the second goal. Thomas not anticipating and not putting in a challenge. O'Hare continues to think he is bigger than the team, moaning. Ben Wilson static for both goals. Surely he should be making himself look big.

Old enough to remember when we had an owner who thought taking a punt was a good business plan, we've only just about recovered from it

Would it really have solved all our problems getting some loans in? We'd have spent a chunk of money which we then couldn't spend in the summer and would still have been fucked when we lost Sheaf, Allen and Sakamoto one after the other

It would be a huge gamble on not just getting to the play offs but winning them and potentially weaken our chances in the next 2 or 3 years as you can't spend it twice

It is the right financial decision not to gamble on this season. Fans won’t like it but it’s right.

Is he being clever? What if there IS illness in the camp?

I will wait until his post match comments before jumping to conclusions.

We do seem off it, so maybe it is indeed true that there is illness in the squad.

Not going to be too critical til I hear what MR has to say .

Well , after this there can’t be any complaints of being fatigued, as there isn’t any running off the ball !
A strange formation change & Dasilva ….. well he’s never a left back !
Bidwell , Kitchin & Collins ……. Have you had a fall out with the gaffer ?

Between the two goals it was all us, we just didn’t make the most of our half chances.

2 loans where we had to contribute circa 12 k a week, in the wide positions, to maintain a system we were getting results with is 100% fucking worth it

As we're seeing now

Describing DaSilva as a “disaster” signing is a bit of a stretch. He’s made some high profile mistakes in recent games. Unsure as to whether Bidwell would have stopped that cross.

Palmer the only one in midfield putting his foot in and trying to win the ball.

No tempo in our play when we do manage to get possession. WBA being allowed to stroll this.

Palmers had a decent enough half.

That was really not good enough, we don't look like a team that believes there is any chance of play offs. Every single one them have been shite. Obviously playing them against Maidstone to get Preston out the system worked wonders..

Lack of desire, lack of plan, lack of energy, and lack of quality.

The formation does not work with Palmer and O'Hare, Simms too isolated, and Palmer dropping too deep. O'Hares worse game for us ever, completely anonymous.

Neither wing back gets high enough when we have the ball, to be fair to Bidwell when he plays hes up, down, up, down.

West Brom are beating our press quite easily, and it feels like they have not even got out of second gear.

So easy for WBA in possession. Too much time and space conceded in midfield. Defence not working…really got to get a foot in

Can we have some sort of press please? Normally hate it when fans call for us to close down but there’s nothing tonight, no pressure.

Also, anyone else bar Thomas want to put their body on the line and get some blocks in? Fadz walks straight into this team.

For an emergency I’d imagine. Have you just started watching football? Having players who aren’t fully fit on the bench isn’t a new thing.

I have the misfortune of sitting in the wba end on the halfway line tonight. The midfield is far too deep and the wingbacks have no cover. We need to switch back to 433 second half

Nah it was a huge issue last season too, we just only needed Vik in their half to make it work.

COH will just play it safe until he gets his free transfer to Lesta in the summer most probably.
