It's frustrating that Fulham and Barnsley go and beat the teams that we've just lost to! Convincingly too.

Bryan booked - only been on a minute 

Better substitute him then...

Because Moore is the future and is a leader on the pitch.

Because the old stagers need a kick up the proverbial at half time

Moreover I would bring Engvall on straight away and take Tomlin off for disciplinary reasons

In other words I want to see strong management today.  Of course Lee may have other ideas, such as hairbrush treatment over the half time oranges.  As long as he acts I am happy

:laugh:

Our first challenge from the start of the season should of been keeping clean sheets 

Yes. Tomlin scored but he should have been substituted at ht

To all those with their head up their asses!! Today proves the point how average or below average we are as a team!! Out played, out muscled, out skilled and the list could go on!! 

Football is a tactical game with 2 sides involved. The past few games coaches have found out a way to play against us. Our next challenge is a way of nullifying these tactics so our performances improve again. That's sport, it's not championship manager. 

Time to panic we're down to 7th

I thought the same, people have praised his technical ability all season but not once? Did he play it out at his feet. Maybe the Welsh atmosphere was affecting him.

Players are coached and given instructions on a football pitch. Part of a game plan I'd expect

Big bag of balls

9 down

We're a mid table championship side that has time to grow with a young squad. We'll win some, we'll lose some. 39 league games remaining 

Didn't expect this with our momentum from last season. Not digging all these loan signings In our first eleven. Looks like we'll be back to boundary park and the county ground next season

2 points dropped at home

Even though we have been successful using our wingback system we will need a plan b. I am sure SC is aware that most teams in the championship last season played with a back 4 and only one striker. If we needed to switch to that system then we would need genuine attacking wide players. Murphys 9 goals in 39 was not too shabby in my opinion for a wide player.

Try telling the coaching experts

Possibly, but JET was more often than not played as an out-and-out striker. He could be cover for Freeman, or maybe we're looking to have the option of 2 AttMid behind a target man? I think he's a decent player actually, just not sure where he fits in

I'm no expert but going into a higher level we can't just keep playing the same system. I'm sure the 3-5-2 will be plan A.

I'd like us to have versatile players so we have plan B and C.

Isn't Murphy a winger/attacking mid/no10 type player? Unless there's a change in shape or Freeman is off, I'd struggle to think where he might fit in

Good back up player for Freeman. Adds competition in his role

There cat was man of the match

Midfielder in there back 3

City 8/15 with the bookies is mean

Barnsley at 5/1 is a good price on their form.
