New manager bounce

Re: New manager bounce

Off the bench. That's my point. Wilson was really good today, he hasn't been so good when starting, and he has been anonymous when starting as a 10. Murphy has been crap when he starts and decent when he's come off the bench. Why is that?

Fresh legs against tired defenders?

Perhaps, Wilson was really good today. I hope it continues!

MM must be the only other manager in the championship besides Colin that rates Aden Flint.

Playing 3 centre half’s with 3 workmanlike midfielders is just so depressing.

It didn't make us solid at the back either. Millwall could easily have scored three or four. The players look really uncomfortable in that system. Morrison is usually so reliable and he was all at sea.

Re: New manager bounce

Could easily have won it with Moore and Ralls lose heading opportunities , Ball locked off the line , there's no disguising though it ain't pretty out there, and we are so poor in midfield.

It's a lower league 1/top league 2 midfield - at that level they'd just about be comfortable. The side is being held together by a thread with Moore, the occasional flash of Wilson, and Smithies in goal. This is a relegation battle, no doubt about it. 5 points clear and a side capable of winning as many games as they lose and you'd wouldn't think so, but we're so poor, and only have a small margin for improvement, that I think it's not unreasonable to say as such..

I'm not against the 3 at the back as long as Wilson's part of the 3 in front of them, otherwise its utterly pointless

Unlikely. Mick has gone full Warnock.
