Games like this the players given a chance step up or you realise why they’re subs, never getting anything with that line up, just leave them on, save everyone for QPR, only annoying thing we’ve gifted the last 5 goals against us

I don't think we need to destroy the players all players have bad games and they been good recently .. but they are up shit creek without a paddle being told to play so high against teams like Leeds and Ipswich

So fucking disappointing how little motivation or plan we’ve had the last two tbh. Would have been a bonus but even so.

Allen has filled in admirably, but he's been a total passenger today. Barely touched the ball, only made sideways 5 yard passes when he has, not made a tackle.

Can't wait for Grimes to come in. Be nice to see the holding player actually progress the ball.

To be fair , it's as simple as asking the line to drop 5-10 yards surely ?we are caught in behind alot last 2 matches because we are too high
Ironically. the next couple of games, we are coming up against 2 teams spearheaded by centre forwards against who, a high line will probably be effective (Frey - QPR, a slow lummock, but physically strong, and good in the air, then Sheff Wed with Michael Smith and/ or Patterson, both carthorses, but with a physical presence._

I’m surprised how uninspiring Tatsu has become. He just won’t take a man on. He’s not positive on the ball for an attacking player.
He's become a waste of a position and it's such a shame. A flying winger who can play with either feet and the first thing he looks to do now is pace it back and hide behind their left back

It's a concern the manager hasn't altered his tactical approach despite putting in a poor 135 minutes

I long ago concluded that he just happened to have a purple patch at that particular time. Having said that, he did put a good ball in quite early on.

Let’s not get too despondent.

It’s a strange formation with players out of position / not on form playing.

Play an actual formation, tactic and actually attack and we have a chance.

Latibeaudiere had been solid at CB recently, but he’s definitely not a RWB, so you can forgive him

Binks has been poor, Eccles is having a bad time whenever he’s on the pitch, and BTA definitely needs to play with someone else up front or he’s all fart and no shit

I think we’re still in this to an extent though, depending on whether Lampard is bothered, and changes things at half time
