But whilst Diedhiou and Djuric are out we lack a presence up front. It's essential to how we play, distracting and pulling their defence apart so that our creative players (such as Reid and Paterson) have the space to pick passes and score goals.

Flagon Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Two wins ahead of 7th and only one win off of 2nd. We’re doing incredibly well this season. So many games without what would likely be a full starting 11 aswell. To maintain our push for at least play offs though we really need to recruit wisely as the players returning from injury will likely need a bit of time to be fully effective. 3 Quote Link to comment
Slack Bladder Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 We've been punching above our weight all season. I would've have bitten your hand off for a shot at the play-offs this season. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think we should have overloaded the midfield and left Reid as a lone striker. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment

DCT10 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 3 minutes ago, AshtonGreat said: Brownhill and Smith both need a rest, never mind Magnússon The two changes at half time were, I presume, tactical to try to get us back in the match... as has been said here many times the Watford game should be our reserves/kids and the next game is 8 days away so plenty of rest. I'd keep a team out that will have the best chance of keeping the score as low as possible. Quote Link to comment

Quite, and if were not for Taylor flint would have scored just a few mins into 2nd half tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment
hoxton casual Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, Cheesleysmate said: Didn't expect anything less than this today. Far too many games all close together with the Man Utd game on top, and long term injuries rather than short term ones. It's almost been a game every 2 to 3 days and against sides at the top. Still, not many other sides around us have capitalised over the Christmas break either, so we write it off and going again. The timing of the Man Utd game could not have been worse. What a night but as many thought it is having a massive effect on our Xmas form. Quote Link to comment

We’re 4th in the league, this is our first heavy defeat of the season! How many unbeaten away were we before tonight? I despair sometimes I honestly do. I swear some on here are just hoping for failure so they have something to post about. Saying the performance looks like performances from last season doesn't mean I think the whole season is going that way. It's just an observation Quote Link to comment

From what I've seen (from the GIF at 2-1 from the Hull match) and heard there are a selection of "conservative" GIFs which are utilised in those kinds of situations. Quote Link to comment

Just my opinion. You're talking about an isolated game but i'm talking about our style of play on a bigger scale to explain why Flint is playing forward You can make the argument about tactical choices for the Wolves game but the fact is that our style of play requires at least one bigger forward. It's not a fluke we signed both Djuric and Diedhiou in the last year - both with size, presence and energy. 1 Quote Link to comment

Red-Robbo Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Portland Bill said: Had a bad feeling about today, it’s always hard when your second game in a very quick turnaround is away from home, especially at somewhere like Villa. Just too many games in a short period. An insane fixture list which favours the big spenders with the extensive depth of squad. Add our huge cup game into the mix and this was always likely to happen. Rather have our festive run than Cardiff's though. At least the degree of this defeat will persuade Johnson and Lansdown that some new faces are essential this month. Edited January 1, 2018 by Red-Robbo 6 2 Quote Link to comment

The Enormous Turnip Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 We put 4 past Huddersfield last season, where are they now? We put 4 past Derby already this season, where are they now? Lets keep some objectivity folks, we're losing today - yes, badly! - but it's just one game. Even if we concede a fifth, keep a level head! 1 Quote Link to comment
