Two promotions out of this division playing in a simple back 4

Also if he knew Charles couldn't play he'd have taken someone other than Bragg to cover. Unless he actually planned for Stephens to play there. He'd have been better pushing Edwards into CM even. Royally screwed that up today.

I've been patient after we dominated the last two games and was willing to put it down to bad luck. The XG table sort of led me to believe we were getting unlucky and about to click. But after today with three at the back again, and then bringing on Stephens for Scienza when we were already looking like we were losing grip - what on earth was he thinking in terms of the shape - Stephens looked like he was asking where he was meant to be playing. I get he had injuries but we have a big squad and need to be able to cope. Charles is going to be a massive loss. Need to look at Aribo Downes and Jander (or Azaz) in a 433. Although I'd put Aribo number 9 in a 433. Either way need Downes to step up now. 433 with a strong spine Mads, Wood, THB, Manning Jander Downes Azaz Arma Aribo Scienza

Joe Lumley having a blinder!!

Our defensive line up which saw is create a ridiculous amount of chances?

Feel like a few people need to give their head a wobble asking for Still out. We've absolutely dominated that game, created plenty and conceded nothing, and on another day it's 4 or 5 nil. Just one of those days where it wouldn't go in. Build on it, more clinical and a bit more luck. But, we do need more points more quickly between now and Xmas for sure.

Exactly my thoughts - use Aribo there

These are the same fans that burnt down a Paediatricians house in Paulsgrove because they couldn't understand a word that long.

Hope we got a decent loan fee. £7m sale to Wrexham would have been better.

Hopefully Shea Charles can smash him again for the second time in a few weeks. Little skate primate.

Good job Finn does.

Can't help but think there's a song here with that Azizam Ed Sheeran song... Need some creativity which sadly don't have.

Softest penalty I've ever seen too

Edwards can play there too

Their PSR status must be screwed. Yes they sold Hutchinson and Delap but they both had sell on clauses and were expensive buys in the first place. The mount of £10m plus signings they have made is crazy. Muric, OShea, Greaves, Philogene etc etc. Cant see how their books balance.

Correct

Calm down everyone. We did more than enough to win against a strong playoff side, another day with other luck it's 4-0. Just need window to end, couple of new wide/creative players and we'll be fine.

Anyone work out if Wee Man was injured badly today?

433 with Downes Charles and Matty in the middle feels a must.

How is that going to look formation wise!

The new £10m (?) midfielder from Lens which Ipswich signed looked miles off the pace. Hirst does naff all, poor man's Delaps barging into people left right and centre. I think they desperately need Cajuste and another midfielder able to get a grip of possession. Davis also looked shocking. Brum I thought looked pretty competent z but a vulnerability there if you get at them I think....and they have a Russball GK for sure!

It's like paying £20m for Harwood Bellis, Jack Clarke, Jacob Greaves, Philogene - all championship players and great if you want to yo-yo, but £20m on players like that is probably just a demonstration of having zero scouting network beyond the sides you've come across.
