If there is any recruitment have a feeling we will have to move people on first.
If there is any recruitment have a feeling we will have to move people on first.The recruitment in January will have to be spectacular better than the summer, one of our biggest problems is that none of our new permenant signings have really improved our team this year. You may argue Brown has done ok but too often he turns two of their players brilliantly and then just passes straight to the opposition anyhow so for me jury still out.

Not everyone thinks Brown had a good game,ok he was good on the ball and had some good touches going forward.I guess I should simply row in behind like a fish then as forum boards are exceptionally interesting when everyone has the same viewpoint. ...
This is how I saw it yesterday. Junior Brown would get the ball near the half way line and Hiwula immediately went inside but no one moved. So there was no ball down the line and more often than not he had to go back to the CB.That is because he looks up and finds no movement in front of him. Hiwula immediately gravitates to the middle so there is no one to pass to down the line. He is often always marking 2 players as well. The movement of the team in general was appalling but down the left side was obvious.

Well that's the thing on that first point. Hiwula was very, very poor and JCH not that much better, but Bakayoko is now out for 8 weeks.
You can't play Chaplin up front on his own, so either Hiwula or JCH have to play don't they?
In that case in the words of Private Fraser ‘We’re doomed’!Robins has been clear that we have to start JCH as he is the only one who offers an physicality.
We're forced to play JCH, unfortunately.
I sort of agree, but some of that was down to miscommunication with teammates and at times, as much their fault as his.I thought he was dreadful - he must have given the opposition the ball more than he found one of our players
I said to my mate yesterday, it was like Luton were the home side and we were playing away.Why the hell did Robin's set us up to play so negative yesterday, ok, i can understand Luton playing well and having a good season and all,but ffs they came up with us,from the start it was evident they were going to dictate the game and they did,the score could of been worse.Playing ONE up front at home against a side who got promoted with us,questions really need asking of Robin's,what was he playing at,take the game to them,not sit back and hope for the best
Allassani looked bright yesterday, surely that straight swap needs to be triedHiwula deserves to be dropped next week.
I justification to play him at all I would say.
Very, very disappointing from him yesterday and it was like playing with 10 men at times.
I am.worried about his size though. The bloke is tiny.Allassani looked bright yesterday, surely that straight swap needs to be tried
I sort of agree, but some of that was down to miscommunication with teammates and at times, as much their fault as his.
I recall him putting one ball straight into touch.
Shipley's passing on the whole was awful. The difference I saw with some of Bayliss' passing was that he was passing the ball in for teammates and they weren't bad balls, but the players simply didn't run into that space.
He wasn't great at all though, still. Some very good runs, but little end product.
If you watch the game back you will see what I mean. Many of the Bayliss bad balls were down to miscommunication rather than being bad passes (i.e. such as Shipley 's pass in the second half that went out of play at least 20 yards away from any City player).
Who the fuck is Mason?Burge 4 - not sure how he’s getting 6s was at fault got first goal and distribution was absolutely shocking
Grimmer 6 - solid enough
Willis 6 - likewise, injury worrying
Davies 5.5 - was okay, got away with a bad mistake which lead to a one v one they put wide
Mason 6.5 - thought he was best of the back four, tenacious and got forward well
Thomas 7 - always our biggest threat. Worrying he leaves in January
Bayliss - 4.5 love him but he had a shocker
Shipley - 4 really poor again
Hiwula 4 - unlucky with the ‘goal’ but otherwise poor
JCH 3 - dreadful today

Don't agree with Grimmer he was quite solid today and don't remember him being beatenBurge 6 - distribution was patchy, otherwise OK
Grimmer 4 - repeatedly beaten - I fear he's just not up to the standard required at this level
Willis 6 - not his best game but used his pace and strength well to recover situations
Davies 5 - generally solid but made one very bad error, so docked a point
Brown 5 - positioning is often suspect
Kelly 5 - Struggled. I think he found it hard without another defensive midfielder alongside him
Thomas 6 - was closely marked by a quick left back, so not as effective and not as big a threat as normal
Bayliss 4 - had a poor game by his standards
Shipley 4 - needs to tackle more and pass to our players - worked very hard, especially in the first half
Hiwula 2 - very poor and at times appeared to be half-hearted in his application. Ideally needs to be moved on
Clarke-Harris 3 - was poor and easily dominated by their defenders
Hyam 6 - did OK without standing out
Chaplin 5 - struggled, mainly because of lack of service to him
Allassani 7 - looked lively and up for it. Our only attacker, (apart from Thomas), to pose a anything like a threat. Should start next week
Bayliss is playing like a player who knows he is going in January IMHOOtis this is the very thing with Bayliss that makes his performances go under the radar. We all like him as he’s a talent with a future in the game but his performance yesterday was no better than Shipley yet we try and reason with what he did or didn’t do right as he’s the blue eyed boy in the middle who will go on a mazy run occasionally. His application in games is going down hill fast.
Fact is he’s been below par too often but we’ve little to rest him as I believe he’s played too much football in the last 12 months.
He needs a rest and as a result is not up to L1 standards weekly yet and yesterday probably opened eyes to this fact to many.

With the position he plays though it doesn't bother me how tall he is or isn't. We need to get the ball to his feet though. He can't be much shorter than Luke Thomas. Maybe we do need a big bastard in the middle though in January. Kelly and Doyle are not particularly tall.I am.worried about his size though. The bloke is tiny.
In fact, have you ever noticed when the two sides stand in the line up side by side, how much smaller we are than most other teams?
Bayliss is playing like a player who knows he is going in January IMHO

I would take £2m for him in jan to invest with...all dayBayliss is playing like a player who knows he is going in January IMHO
Scary init.Had a classic Sunday league manager narrating the game behind me yesterday, to quote him he suggested Thomas needed to put on 4 stone.
Now if he did that he’d be a different player entirely with no pace

Have to disagree there though, because some of Shipley 's passing was simply atrocious.Clearly miss-hit passes.Otis this is the very thing with Bayliss that makes his performances go under the radar.

Bayliss did one too in the first half. It went straight out of play nowhere near anyone.
Some of his passes though yesterday you could see he was trying to play one twos and there was clear miscommunication. He would pass the ball and the player did not make the run, or they would make the run and he would hit the ball to where they were.
That is a clear lack of understanding. All players involved are therefore to blame, Bayliss included.
That's a bit different from Shipley's inability to pass to a teammate on a number of occasions. Quite often his passing is just poor through lack of ability.
I would take £2m for him in jan to invest with...all day
Brown was my man of the match best of a poor bunch. Extremely neat feet, plays ball to man, crosses with either foot, very quick to recover, good at holding the offside line.8.30 and no ratings thread shows how poor we were again despite difficult conditions, but I'll start one for no reason other than to let you tell me I'm wrong:
Burge 6 Positioning arguably not great on 1 goal but not culpable and not loads to do
Grimmer 5 not good enough on the ball today and often made the wrong call
Brown 4 so frustrating. People keep telling me he's good but I can't see it. Managers decision to get up the wing I understand but he's always out of position and a complete liability.
Willis 6 looked ok without being outstanding
Davies 6 as above
Kelly 6 worked hard but not good enough in possession
Bayliss 5 how sponsors gave him motm I'll never know!
Shipley 5 tracked back and covered well bit offered very little with ball
Thomas 6 usual great effort but no end product and poor decision making
Hiwula 3 never a footballer
JCH 3 would've been a 2 but a point for the penalty
Subs
Hyam 6 did nothing wrong
Allassani 6 looked lively in a dead game
Chaplin 3 I'm worried about our striking options and didn't do enough
Robins 1 poor set up, wrong selections, wrong formation, wrong tactics, wrong subs and needs to sort things quickly.
Worrying times!
