Priority in January has to be a midfielder who can actually drive the ball forward.

Sheaf, torp and Eccles just sideways merchants, offer absolutely nothing go forward.

That and somebody some decent defenders, maybe somebody who can put the ball on the back of the net up front. What I’m getting at is sack the lot and start again.

Priority in January is a new feckin team

Right so when can we start being critical? The summer? What if he takes us down?

You can it now but if wright and then EMC weren’t here we’d be bottom.

I guess he could play Bassett and simms and probably will be forced to

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’m sorry but Simms has been no better than Bassette

 

[Pricey1984]

The mistakes are so tiresome.

This passing style is pissing me off now. No urgency at all

 

[steve101]

Dovin did well cutting out that cross. Collins would have stayed on his line

 

[lord_garrincha]

It's needs a spark... one of our midfielders needs to kick someone.

But... knowing us... Sheaf will kick himself and do his hammy in the process!

 

[Saddlebrains]

If it's not for Dovin here it's 3 or 4 already

 

[DrPoolittle]

Eccles is diabolical

Our only defensive midfielder. He has to start until we find a replacement

 

[ms639]

Honestly MVE can fuck off. People talking about him being worth 20 mill on twitter

You can't this season. If you remember those who wanted Robins out said they didn't mind if there wasn't any improvement with the new guy.

 

[Gint11]

Even Dovin drops an unchallenged cross.
We look so fragile and fearful.

 

[ptr]

It may be time to discus the fact that Torp really doesn’t offer us anything.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Is Saka actually playing?

You can say that about him in most away games, an utter passenger. I refer to my post earlier in the thread about flexibility.

 

[standupforcity]

Shocking.. no shape, no pattern, no plan.
headless chickens...

 

[Evo1883]

Well worse as we lose the work from the front

You're obviously exercising your prerogative to be critical now - that's fair enough . I'm just attempting to apply a little context to your short term view

 

[Boicey]

Dovin is doing pretty well. Far less scary than the other two.

 

[MalcSB]

i fucking hate the lot of them the midfielders are a bunch of fucking pussies

sheaf is a pussy
eccles is a pussy
torp league two speed

Could do with someone with psychology experience to toughen then up.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Dovin has been out best player despite being 1-0 down. With Collins in goal, we'd be 4-0 down by now.

 

[duffer]

They are sitting on Sheaf just like Millwall did. He needs to use his brain and jog them out to no mans land and create some space through the middle. If they don't go with him he frees himself up.

What, you mean pass it forward when there's a centre-half, full back or goalkeeper available?

Get thee hence with your dangerously old fashioned ideas.

 

[skybluegod]

An extra man in midfield means nothing if you can't dominate a midfield or play between the lines. Better off with 2 up top, and playing more direct.

I’m asking you a question? When is it considered enough to be Lampards team that we can start being critical?

 

[Alkhen]

Simms is playing well

 

[ceetee]

Cam I thought our elite tactian was taking us to the next level?

Not much point having an elite tactician if the players are crap

 

[Esoterica]

I've not felt this detached from a group of players since the relegation to league 2.

 

[Grendel]

Torp is another whose not very good

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Eccles needs to be subbed off asap.

 

[Briles]

Id bring Basette on for Torp second half. Basette on the left and rudoni at the 10. We need an outlet or for cardiff to at least worry about us attacking

 

[DrPoolittle]

Needs to change the shape

Amphibious landing craft shape

 

[chiefdave]

What's happened to our set pieces? Earlier in the season we were doing routines that had clearly been worked on.

Now we seem to have gone to hit and hope.

 

[Marty]

Simms couldn't trap a bag of cement.

 

[Matt smith]

It may be time to discus the fact that Torp really doesn’t offer us anything.

That touch was woeful

 

[Evo1883]

These have won 1 in their last 10 games and we've had 1 shot on target in 40 minutes

 

[Shannerz]

Needs to change the shape

And the players.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Performances weren't as poor as this ,we look hideous

Results were as bad.

Performances don’t matter at this stage
