    Amazing how much more balanced you can look when you don't play 5 cbs.

    I'm sure we still struggle but the fact we line up like this away to Fulham makes the surrender at Swansea all the stranger.

      We are actually passing the ball and playing football against a quality side. We could even be winning with a huge slice of luck. Colwill doing well and so are a few others. Why didn't we play this side against Swansea?

        Still no first half goal this season. Averaging one a game in the second half. Nick this 0-1?

          Imagine we lined up like this against the Jacks. Mick bottled it

            interesting seeing the highlights of the kids. who is responsible for them playing like that? it's a surprise we have people so forward minded employed at the club

              We still look vulnerable at the back to a slick Fulham side but it is so much better. Who would have thought that by playing further up the pitch we’ve actually not conceded

              McGuiness looks good at centre half ( like we’ve all been saying). Colwill has played well.

              I would love to hear McCarthy explain his thinking behind the complete change of formation and team selection!

                Only ball retention is coming from the youngsters, the more established players looked programmed to hoof it every ball.
                Every time Smithies gets the ball he ushers every player forward for the hoof upfield, Bagan dropped a few times to collect off Smithies only to be waved away and back up field. This has to be the managers tactics so shows change the players but hard to change the style.
                Lets hope we can put Vaulks, Pack & Bacuna on gardening leave and get some creative midfielders in at January along with a positive manager and we may be ok

                  When you play 5 rigid defenders you put more pressure on yourself, no outlet in a wing back to pass into midfield and move up the pitch as a unit you end up putting yourself under more pressure so it's basically counter productive and you end up defending more because you can't get out with the ball. I'm not a football manager mind so maybe I'm wrong.

                    He'll lie. It's the team we've all been calling for. How the hell is this guy a manager!

                      If nothing else performances like this with the youngsters showing they can play a bit might make us a bit more attractive to the next manager

                            It’s that sloppiness on the edge of the box that did for us again.

                              Not a bad option to have on the bench

                                Moore has been poor in the second half
