Wilfs passing is terrible.  Slow and puts his teammates under pressure. 

Lets just pray that wout faes is the real deal!! 🤞🤞

has anyone else noticed 9 times out of 10 when soumare gets the ball he passes it back the person who passes it to him instantly. 

 

is that him saying “why are you giving that to me here” ? 

 

is that something brendan tells them to do?

 

is that him lacking confidence to do something with it? 

 

or is that just something he does? 

 

 

Just something I don't mind actually when their midfield presses so high.

 

Move the ball quickly, don't dally in possession and try work it round them with the quick passing.

Our defence is so poor. 

We are playing each other into trouble with short passes.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Is Maddison still a professional footballer looking at this? Feel sorry for the guy with this showing. 

[Blanchflower78]

We look unbelievably bad at the back.

[FosseSpark]

Weve got 5 subs.

Iversen, Amartey and Castagne on.

Ward, Soumare, Thomas off.

[Livid]

We need at least two more goals to guarantee a draw here, our defence is shockingly bad. 

[eastendfox]

Ndidi is trying to defend, might be the only one. 

[oxtonfox]

Brendan will be delighted with possession stats - we're winning that 53 to 47. I wonder when he'll play his first sub? Does he know he can make 5 changes?

If Ward is our no.1 all season we get relegated 

 

We could offer him to his hometown club?

 

But I doubt Wrexham would have him.

Please please please anyone who thinks Soumare is good watch him as if you’ve got him on player cam. He literally doesn’t move, at all. Adds nothing to the team whatsoever

 

I mean this is stupid. He's done fairly well on the ball and was decent against United. He's not a defensive player and we need someone doing a more defensive role in the middle because we look super vulnerable. 

 

But he's not been poor at what he does.

You could play me to do that. I’m 40 and have had 4 knee Ops. 
 

I might move a bit more though. 

[coolhandfox]

We have no idea how to defend, its like under 10.

[wokinghamfox]

Whilst Alan Smith is right in his analysis of us, I still wish he would just feck off

[Merging Cultures]

Straight out by Ward

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Well played by Soumare there.

Should have sold him to Villa ....... he's become lazy

This is absolutely spot on and exactly what someone with any sense watching this would do.

 

However I very much suspect nothing will change…

[Tielemans63]

The Daka / Nacho partnership has something about it. Thought that for a while now.

 

If we could defend we might have a chance but it's 2 goals conceded yet again.....and there's 45 to go.

[purpleronnie]

I'd be quite happy to replace the entire back 4 and GK..

To pick him over a guy who starts regularly for one of the best National sides in the world is baffling. 
 

 

Brendan. Luke Thomas wouldn’t get into most championship sides.

[Hammo]

The players are playing like I am watching them.

 

A bag of nerves.

[bovril]

This really reminds me of games in 01/02 and 03/04

[Guest nathan.]

Its obvious we need changes watch BR leave it until 85mins for his first sub. 

[Merging Cultures]

I'm exhausted
