If that wasn’t bad enough , we were crushed against the wall , by the turnstiles on our way out , by a wonderful copper on his horse !
Do we need to set up like we did at Leeds?
He's started 4 league games since his return from injury. One of them he beat Millwall almost single handedly. It's an incredibly low bar but I felt he was one of our better performers v Preston too, certainly first half anyway.He's had what 4-5 games to get back into it?
Give him a break ffs.
To be fair to them they turned 4 defeats on the spin into a run of 1 defeat in 20 games, playing all of the top 4 sides in that period. After each recent defeat we've won the following game.

Yeah it was a 'difficult' dayI was there when we lost 7-1 , Willie Johnston scored a perfectly good goal (unfairly called offside) which would of made 8.
What's worse my old man made us stay to the end.
That game was played in October ‘78 and the brown kit was introduced that season. I attended that match but, apart from remembering the shame of losing by such a large margin, have no specific recollections of the match so l am impressed by your ability to remember details.Yeah it was a 'difficult' day
Seem to remember after we went quite a few goals down, Milne brought on a forward for a defender to try and get back in the game. That was just the philosophy he had, and it produced some incredible entertainment but also led to some horrific days out like that one LOL.
In my mind's eye we are wearing the chocolate strip, but it could be my memory playing tricks.

In my memory we were wearing the chocolate kit. We were standing near the front of the terrace and decided to leave at 5-1. They scored another 2 goals as we were making our way out. We had a really good team out that day as well.That game was played in October ‘78 and the brown kit was introduced that season.

3-0 to city 40/13-0 loss
The only reason for reverting to a back 5/3 would be personnel and perhaps a bit more solidity at the back. We have been leaking goals of late... could be throwing the bathwater out with the baby tho! Definitely pros and cons with both. MVE looks particularly poor as a wing back I think, he needs the overlap to be effective.The problem with the back five was the lack of dynamism from the midfield along with the strikers misfiring. Once Allen and then O’Hare returned we looked a bit better and Torp has improved the forward passing from deeper, Simms is looking better but Wright still ineffective up front it seems.
I don’t see why going 5ATB is better than just sticking Palmer out wide, but if that’s what Robins is doing I’d want Dasilva because he’s much better in possession than Bidwell and we don’t need two DMs plus two defensive wingbacks. Plus we’ve got two good left footed CBs that mean we can easily cover.
Part of that though is how we used him, Dabo looked good at RWB and linked up well with O'Hare in particular, we need more of that. Earlier on in the season we often just passed the ball out to MVE pinned to the touchline without any of our players within 15 yards of him. If there is a short ball on like O'Hare offers, we can look for give and go opportunities to use his pace.The only reason for reverting to a back 5/3 would be personnel and perhaps a bit more solidity at the back.

The reason we’ve reverted back to 3-4-1-2 is because Sakamoto is injured.The only reason for reverting to a back 5/3 would be personnel and perhaps a bit more solidity at the back.
