Maybe Robins decided to rest a few players with the expectation of loosing the points and giving COH some game time for fitness. Keeping other players fit for other games
Doesn’t explain Ayari. One undercooked AM is quite sufficient

C'mon Wright press harder and pass to your own player

Everything wrong with this shape at the moment. Our midfield is too fluid with Ayari, O'Hare and Allen in there. They all want to be in the same space between midfield and defence, and the shape is very flat because of it. Eccles and Sheaf don't have much time on the ball and they just don't automatically know where their team mates are going to be. Passes are then delayed and players are marked.

If ever a manager does this at this level, they need to have a word with themselves and gtfo. No chance he's done this.

You can see why we're not keen paying O'Hare what he wants. Can't gamble wages

I don’t think I realised that Ipswich were only promoted last season and this season they are crushing it first time in the championship. Been too focussed down the bottom end of the table to pay much attention. How have they done that?
Fair play to them
They have an excellent manager.

Would already get rid of Ayari, put Simms up front, Allen on the right and move Wright back to the left.

The wide players are a little narrower, but it's still 4-2-3-1.
We didn't play 4231, we played 433, with a flat 3 in midfield, Allen as a number 8 and Eccles/Sheaf alternating as a 4/8.

Wright stayed high and wide, and did Saka with a bit of floating around.
