This shouldn't even be happening. What was the point in playing 3-5-2 pre season, discovering it didn't work with our squad but persisting with it anyway when it matters to discover it still doesn't work.

this first game of the season as the same feel about it as the start of the 2001 campaign when we got beat 5 0 at home by bolton!

 

We were 4-0 down at half time then.

That was a bit of a nightmare. Zak being stretchered off was the last thing we needed, sounded nasty, hope he's alright.

 

The whole look of the starting line-up screams midtable. The strikers aren't particularly great at holding it up and are clearly isolated. Drinkwater is not a satisfactory link between them and the midfield. Oh how we could do with a player like Knockaert in the squad now.

 

Like I said last week, too many holes in the squad, too many weaknesses.

no it was definatly bolton at filbert st for i was there and predicted the 5 0 before i left only a win not a loss!

No idea what game I'm thinking of then! lol

Mistake with the formation.

Mistake with the team selection.

Mistake with the bench selection.

 

Something just does not add up for me.

When was the last time Wood poached a goal? I rest my case.

 

 

He scored 20 last season, with 90% in the box.

 

 

He is a poacher, and finisher, that is all. Not a target man like many think he should be.

Maybe when we lost 2-0 to Charlton in Taylor's final game. It was an absolute shambles, only a month or so after the Bolton debacle.

Only just tuned in. Just wanted to know if we're still crap?

 

Oh your here.

 

Thought you had ripped your foreskin right off after this shambles.

Rather have beckford upfront than vardy....

 

Rather have Rooney up front if we're picking & choosing other club's players, but we can't afford to pay his wages just the same as we couldn't afford to pay Beckford's

We are not out of it yet, but need to change it, they sound like they are dominating the play, and chances.

Come on Nigel be brave and set up attacking second half

Charlton game was I think end of September when Taylor got fired. Charlton had Steve Brown sent off about 30 minutes in and we still went on to lose 2-0!

The formation isn't necessarily the problem, but the players he's picking in it is. Konchesky isn't a wing back, he's a slow full back, yet Schlupp, who's got wing back written all over him, is on the bench.

 

Drinkwater is not the kind of player you play behind the front 2, which you need with this formation. He's not positive or creative enough, Knockaert needs to play there.

 

Our centre backs Morgan aside are not very good regardless of what formation we're playing. If De Laet was playing normal full back he'd be another weakness, but he's often our most dangerous player going forward.

Nice to see we have started this season by patching up the negatives from last year.

 

 

 

 

As amazing as Kasper is, if selling him would of allowed us to bring in another player or 2 we should of sold him. Our central midfield has been terrible for the last decade, why can no manager see this and improve it?
