His attacking positions are shite as well.

Couldn't agree more, we seem to be looking for any other answer than "we have shit players, an inexperienced manager and as a result are playing average football". Fuck me I can't believe how different we suddenly look again from 3 weeks ago - which was world's away from how we were playing 3 weeks prior to that. Can we just start doing that again please but with a plan B when it doesn't work - which might well involve an actual 'hold up' CF.

So now we can't defend OR create. Fun!

Too kind.

Those wanting to have a pop at Eckert now, have at it. That was as bad as its been under him and has been coming for about 3 games. No idea why THB has stopped stepping into midfield, why AA has stopped dropping off, and why our subs are utterly ineffectual.

Ryan Fraser is the answer to no questions these days, ineffectual when he comes on. Would rather not bother with Manning either. Wellington would be preferable to ether.

That's an awful sub. I do hope there's a reason behind it.

Nice to be on 'your side' of the fence for a change but I agree. That said we do seem to struggle to adapt when we don't have all our best front 4 which is something we need to figure out but we had an absolute shite start to the season which are gradually turning around. I am ok with Saturday as long as we bounce back.

I've already done the why on this but it largely matters not when you are 3-0 at halftime in 5 of those games.

Solid response as expected from someone who's initial comments were basically just wrong

I'm not upset about anything champ, slept happy knowing we'd won our 6th game and that we'd 'smashed' at least 4 of the last 7 opponents. You're the one whining we didn't smash another team by more than two goals and then bemoans the results against Brum and Charlton (F 8 , A 2 - PTS 6). Weird.

Could not agree more. So by that metric I'm happy crushing a team for 60 mins or so and with a few more coming back, getting up to fitness maybe extending it to 70+mins or at least managing the game more. But it's this suggestion that Tonda should be right on it the moment Scienza and Fellows drop off (I keep mentioning them because they seem to a) rely the most on pace, b) on releasing pressure on our back line, and c) I think they drop off more than Azaz and Arma because of their attributes and how they play the game). Let's see how he continues to do and maybe we can all enjoy the thumping we are dishing out.. Agree with your change of formation post too, again something I'm hoping Eckert will figure out especially when we have Stewart/Downs (meh) and Charles back. It's a shame we don't have an u21 we could start utilising in that respect, much like Bragg. Maybe if we're still flying high in January we can convince a signing or two on the hope of premier League football.

Yeah no it's not and I've now stated on at least 2 occasions why I think we've struggled in maybe TWO of the last 7 games. Not gonna repeat it again.

And then doesn't give us any reason why... Very odd. I think it's down to fatigue, complacent attitude, still a bit shot shy, lack of proper options on the bench to replace the attacking threat up front, missing Charles and missing Stewart maybe. Oh sorry, also a fucking manager that's managed SEVEN senior games... Winning 6

I don't think it's me that needs to give over because you can't even properly debate what I said. I conceded that the 3-2 and the 2-1 weren't but the others were. If you can't see how we battered Brum with the 3-1 either you've got short sightedness to go with your recency bias. We're not talking about all season, we're talking under Eckert which is an entirely different set-up and method of play then under Still. If you still think we should 'smash teams' by more than 2 goals every game you'll never be happy and there's nothing I can say to change that. We have by every metrics smashed 4/5 of the last 7 teams. It's really that simple. I've shown you facts and you're still 'why can't we 7-0 every team'... There's no discussing that
