Shocking behaviour reallyKeep 10 men on the pitch for a start. Game was over against any decent team when that happens. Complete overreaction by some (although I understand why - borne out of disappointment) on the match thread, and some sad abuse of our own players too. Don't like it to be honest. We came up with togetherness. Some a bit quick to turn on their own.
Which is what ? Genuinely interested to hear your view you make good points mate for me with big lads on the bench we go long ?It's not a Plan B we need. It's a better plan A against teams that press.

We did manage to keep 10 men on the pitch. Personally I'd prefer 11.

Have to say that midfield looks good with them 3 together,front 3 also makes senseWhere is our strength this year? In the DMs for me - Kelly, Sheaf and Hamer. Sheaf and Hamer are quarterbacks anyway, rather than traditional DMs - so base the team around those 3.
O'Hare and Walker play as inside forwards, not wingers, and give us some pace off godden.
The width still comes from the fullbacks as it does currently - we already know they like to get forward. With 3 CMs we have cover when a fullback does get forward.
Ditch the possession football from the back and look to get the ball forward through the lines a bit quicker than we do now. We look best playing a direct counter attack style, like today with Godden's chance against the post. We've been struggling when we try and maintain possession anyhow.
Our squad just isn't strong enough to be starting Allen, Shipley, Bakayko every week while they learn and adapt to the Championship. But they'll be fine for 30 minutes in a game.

Central defence a worry but need to find a partnership that works. McFadz looked terrible in a back 4 today.Have to say that midfield looks good with them 3 together,front 3 also makes sense
Which was made by Giles who is the quickest player in the squad but you don't have in your line up ?We look best playing a direct counter attack style, like today with Godden's chance against the post. We've been struggling when we try and maintain possession anyhow.
Surely with Max & Baka on the bench when we are faced such a good high press & have no out ball we can go long to the big men ? We just don’t change it today we Should of gone long at half time
There is a time and place to play football Down to 10 at home hemmed in by such a high press wasn’t it Robins was stubborn today with changing it maybe as players on the bench were not fit enough to play that amount of time arguably
I’m struggling to see many that are mateNeither them are anywhere near the level required
Start Bapaga. Sell him at Christmas.
It's close with him and McCallum. I think McCallum offers more defensively in a back 4.Which was made by Giles who is the quickest player in the squad but you don't have in your line up ?

The problem is that Godden isn’t fast or strong and since technical football is our plan A we need one of those attributes up top for plan B. At the same time we can’t just bin off Godden, he’s an intelligent striker who gets goals. When we try to partner him with one of our other sub par strikers (no opinion on Walker yet, haven’t seen enough), our 3 in midfield (one of them being O’Hare so really it’s like 2 in midfield) get overrun.
Best of Plan B
