Simms has looked better receiving the ball but his passing has been very poor. Sheaf not surprisingly way off the pace.

It’s just basic stuff. On and off the ball we don’t look like we’ve got a plan. If we haven’t got that none of the rest really matters.

We haven't for weeks.

How are we intending to score a goal

I can’t see this turning around, there’s nothing there

 

[CovLad94]

The players know that if you pass towards a team mate with an opponent close by, they can intercept the ball, right?

Or in Sheafs case, try and pass through the Leeds player to reach his team mate

He did the exact same thing against Spurs, played Torp into trouble

 

[clint van damme]

Sheaf is obviously being passed fit by the medical staff , they don't just guess

As others have said, he's clearly not fit and shouldn't be playing
At this point anyone who argued against the signing of Matty James is clearly in some weird state of denial about where the current state of things

Peak SBT!

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Our crisp passing game that's been one of our strengths in recent years goes south when other teams really press us, as Leeds are doing. We're off the pace and we're passing into no mans land when there's a sniff of panic.

Issue with Simms is how isolated he is every time

 

[Paxman II]

Torp, Sako Wright should be on and Bidwell. Constantly changing the side no wonder we have chaos. We are over ridden in midfield again. lati at at wb is crazy, daSilva can't defend. if we get to HT 1-0 it will be an achievement. Hairdyer needs to come out and they all need a word with themselves. Got to say if this is a direct cause of the coaching staff then Robin's needs to act.
We are still in if we get our act together b4 they score again.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Shame ampadu walking
Was hoping an acl

 

[shmmeee]

Sheaf is always shocking when he first comes back TBF. Though normally he’s coming into a high fitness high motivation squad.

To be fair James wouldn't be fit either

Well who benefits from playing an unfit player ? Everybody involved must be on the same page , Sheaf is fit

 

[Jamesimus]

Passed fit - yes, match fit - no.

 

[procdoc]

And that highlights perfectly how shit our depth of squad is. Relying on a player who is either out injured or coming back from injury. Not good enough.

I got lambasted for saying this on deadline day....

 

[Seymour_East]

Sheaf is obviously being passed fit by the medical staff , they don't just guess

Or maybe just the sleep coach?

 

[clint van damme]

At what point is tactical and the system.

Same issue down our right, different players.

Bit of both I think. Players are poor but don't seem to be well drilled or organised either

Ask dabo.

 

[Evo1883]

Passed fit - yes, match fit - no.

The only way he gets match fit is by playing matches

 

[Marty]

Sounds like the squad need a bit of running non stop for the next week to wake them up a bit.

 

[Nick]

Makes you wonder what they do all week.

Probably just fuck about for tiktok videos and get their hair braided.

 

[steve101]

Drop Rudoni deeper and get Torp as a 10. Sheaf to come off.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Bring back Adi V, this new coaching set up is clearly not working . We are all over the place
Doug should stick to making shavers and stop sticking his nose into the team, he knows fuck all about football

 

[JohnWH]

Just want to point out the POSITIVES:

Wilson's and Rudo's hair cuts are sharp

 

[Nick]

The only way he gets match fit is by playing matches

Almost like we need a reserves

 

[David O'Day]

The only way he gets match fit is by playing matches

but you don't start him in this game though, you bring on in games to build it up

 

[Cov98]

Somehow gets worse with every game.

 

[Skybluekyle]

How it's only 1-0.... We've been truly horrific

 

[ptr]

I do try and back him as much as I can but Simms has been dreadful. Hold the hall up ffs. EMC growing into the game though.

 

[David O'Day]

Doug doesn't make shavers mate

 

[robbiekeane]

Da Silva doesn’t seem to want to get forward on this left hand side never offering the overlap. Maybe been told not to?

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

sheaf has had a shocker so far, the bloke who was going to save our season

unfortunately looks like he’s had to come back into the team early because we have fuck all else to fill the gap, recruitment or lack of has meant he’s rushed back in, and more than likely gets injured again as a result

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yay horrid little shit

 

[Evo1883]

but you don't start him in this game though, you bring on in games to build it up

Are people just saying he's not fit because he's playing shit ?

 

[jordan210]

That’s seams nuts from them to send that guy out who was clearly injured

 

[Skybluekyle]

You could see Ampadu was done, he was down for several minutes and winced as he ran back on the pitch. Anyone but Farke could see he was finished
