  1. They weren't the players we needed to bring in in January. No disrespect to either but those were positions we were strong in already. With talented kids on the verge of breaking through. Not getting in a striker or defensive midfielder left us exposed. Not to mention our well documented shot stopping inability. By adding players we didn't need we've upset the team balance and ignored glaring problems we've had for a long time. It's led to substitutions for the sake of minutes rather than having a positive impact on the game.
  2. To be fair to Martin he's accepted that THB and Bednarek are our best centre back pairing (now watch him out in Stephens). Now he's got to get his head around needing more steel in midfield. He's got the team creating lots of chances. We still allow too many in return. Nothing the manager can do about our ability to finish though worth noting that both Edozie and Fraser have significantly outperformed their expected goals. I would be tempted to play both instead of Adam Armstrong and Brooks. Both can run their fullbacks ragged. McCarthy KWP THB Bednarek Mannjng Aribo. Downes. Charles Edozie. Adams. Fraser
  3. I'd have liked to see us start with Aribo, Armstrong and Charles in midfield today. Or Aribo, Downes and Charles once Downes is fit.
  4. Should have been out of sight there. The team was well balanced and created more than enough chances to win the game. My criticism would be after they got to 1-1 Cardiff were the only team that seemed to want it. They really upped their intensity. Then we took off our best midfielder (Aribo) and replaced him with Rothwell which invited Cardiff to overrun us. And finally we just threw every attacking midfielder bar Dibling and wondered why we completely lost our shape. So, kudos to the manager for setting up the team to win this game and the team for creating great chances. But shit finishing let us down and our second half substitutes didn't alter the game in our favour (the opposite in fact).
  5. Still time for our trademark 99th minute winner
  6. Now let's shuffle around some attacking midfielders and lose control of the middle of the park.
  7. 20 minutes left for Cardiff to get the winner here.
  8. Even if that wasn't a foul, Che fluffed the open goal
  9. We sure know how to play out a dominant 1-1
  10. Adams! Screws it wide.
  11. Ref is shaping to send Armstrong off
  12. Che! Through again. Then Brooks banjos another.
  13. Wow. Free header to Cardiff there
  14. Twang. Che clean through
  15. COYR, let's get after this one early.
  16. That midfield looks.... porous. Brooks isn't going to tackle back much either. On the plus side we've picked our strongest back 4. And Che's banjo is ready to continue its end of season feast. Good to see Dibling on the bench as well.

    Because some combination of Wilcox / Martin would rather bring attacking midfielders on loan than trust him in the first team 😢
  18. Leicester on course to be the first team to 90 points this season in the Championship.
  19. There's no way Leicester, Leeds or Ipswich are going to drop points two weekends running. Even before we choke at Cardiff.
  20. There are no guarantees but he's by far our 2nd best DM.
  21. Cardiff will be the latest team to get banjoed. Che once again stranded one goal short of his hat-trick.
  22. Charles hasn't looked out of place.
