O'Dowda on the left, Tomlin centre, Freeman right. Reid next to GON in the centre of the park. That's the easy bit. Now, the difficult bit- to inexplicably travel to Bristol at the speed of light, replace LJ by becoming a clone of him (Canada Goose jacket and all) and leave the real one trapped on the West Stand roof actually watching his team do well.

Wow. The sad fact about this whole situation today is that I predicted it the moment I saw the lineup- I said to my girlfriend that we would get slaughtered on the left flank due to Joe currently acting like he belongs in a padded cell and Tomlin not being able to do defensive duties while he tries to carry the team. I then expect LJ to say 'we were unlucky' in his press conference and then not changing the lineup. Engvall won't play. O'Dowda and De Girolamo will remain in their spots of having afternoon tea with Lord Lucan. Sadly predictable, yet the only guy on the planet that seems to be unable to see this is the bloke in charge of the team.

Do not understand why Brownhill was put on at right back at this time. Excellent going forward but that was not what we needed. Furthermore many of the Barnsley lads played with him last season and know his playstyle and weaknesses. Matthews should have stayed and LJ did not need to start playing mad scientist with the defence, otherwise we would have three points.

Today was bad (I turned it off after the third goal to be honest) but it's part and parcel of being a small, newly-promoted team in this division. I still think we're capable of surviving and will prove ourselves in fixtures against teams that don't contain Prem quality players even on their bench. We really need a ball playing centre half as pacy strikers can completely turn the Baker and Flint duo. Not the best day for Jonny K, he was wasteful when not invisible. Bobby Reid is really not good enough for the Championship, sorry lad I really want you to be good enough but it just isn't to be. No steel in midfield that Smith usually provides- can't help that with Pack and Bryan in the centre we are still too lightweight and it showed today. However, we have to remember that there are sides in this league far worse than us. Bolton are doomed, Charlton won't stay up with what is surrounding the club. MK don't have their two key players that made last season so special for them (Afobe & Alli) and I think they'll take the last spot. We need to build next year and clear out this reliance on loans, as we can't just rely on a couple of clubs entering oblivion again like they have this season.
