it's ok actually - some decent stuff being played.

He's definitely not a back to goal striker. His lateral movement is quite good but our build up is so slow that it's mostly wasted. I don't like this 4-2-3-1 formation as we don't have enough bodies forward when we attack especially when the defence are as deep as we are. It's too stretched from Hyam to Hiwula and although it leaves a lot of space in the middle there are not many options to pass forwards with 1 up front and we end up direct running through Bright and Thomas which allows teams to get back and organised - we need to get the ball doing a bit more work. Add in the that players are taking an extra touch and using up time on the ball because of the shocking pitch and it results in us being very laborious going forwards.Poor first half. Hiwula poor. The London CCFC simpleton might revisit his view. Hiwula offers nothing generally
They also have runners when he gets the ball.
We put a cross in to hiwula and 4 of their defenders.
Hiwula isn't a target man
Hiwula needs to be making the runs in past the last man, not holding it up
Nice football but utterly harmlessDon't agree on the poor first half. Quite enjoyed it. We look decent in possession and Meyler and Westbrooke have impressed me. Bright is great on the ball as well. I do agree that Hiwula has not featured so much - would like to see AB on and Bright much further forward.
Looks the same formation just different players.Different striker, same result. Different formation, same issue.
Hiwula is too isolated, the gap between him and the midfield is massive, as if the gap between the centre backs and the rest of the team.
The full backs (especially Sterling) are pushing on, but not being used enough.
There’s so little movement it’s frustrating. I’m not a fan of the formation as it’s too narrow and relies on the centre backs finding a killer pass.
Put Thomas and a another (Wakefield/Bright) on the wings and Bayliss at 10, with Meyler and Westbrooke behind. Or just go 4-4-2, with Hiwula and Bakayoko up front.
Looks the same formation just different players.
It's pointless us trying it.A formation that works fine if you’ve got a forward player - like gillinghan do and Blackpool did

Shipley wasI don’t think it is at all. Who’s supposed to be playing 10?
Second half we’ve shaped up differently.
YesWhat's Shipley meant to be doing and where?
Least they haven't scored yetAwful so far second half yet again
But the plan.........Awful so far second half yet again
Just filling in for Bright whenever he wanders off somewhere I think. Shipley's passing in the final third is too poor to be playing in that 3 I feel.What's Shipley meant to be doing and where?
Pointless if he just sticks him on his own thereBakayoko for Hiwula the donkey?
Time for JC oh waitLeast they haven't scored yet
I'm watching for the 62nd minute
