I'd stick with Archer but get us playing more to his strengths. Need to get him in behind more often like when he went round the keeper.

He always gets a yellow because he's constantly a yard or two behind the play. As I've said before he's only good in a side that has the ball 80% of the time. Charles is the much better all round player.

About time. He drew 3 fouls from their right back in less than 10 minutes.

Yep, he's crap

He was, but I'm not talking about his defending as such. He gave the ball away a ridiculous amount of times.

I like Roerslev, but if you think he was one of our better players today then you must be blind.

Downes and Roerslev were abysmal. Time for Flynn to be dropped. Fellows did ok but Azaz was anonymous. Concerning performance.

Azaz has been a passenger. Both fullbacks very poor. Downes hopeless. Feel for Archer. Need control of the midfield and more passing options for the fullbacks. I'd get Jander on for Azaz and Stewart for Archer if we are going to continue with long balls.

Ipswich just getting going too. I still think they will end up winning the league.

Also is inevitable he'll be sacked shortly before we play them.

My Sheffield United supporting mate says it's absolutely dreadful stuff under Selles. Lots of running off the ball but nothing else good at all. Sums him up really.

There's no way we should be playing 5 at the back against anyone in this league at home, let alone Portsmouth.

Totally agree with this. I would probably play your first line up on Sunday but the second one looks good on paper for the longer term. My main deliberation was Downes or Jander. Mainly because it's very likely Downes gets booked early on and puts himself under unnecessary pressure straight away.

Agree with this. He is decent enough going forward but is a known liability defensively, especially in a 4 as you mention. He didn't defend well against Watford at all and I think Still knows this - hence why he preferred Welington when he was fit. Not sure it'll be long before Jelert replaces him but we'll see.

Two out and out wingers and a creative AM. Looks great on paper. Despite still a little worried about the keeper/defence there are no excuses for us not to score goals.

True. Downes gets injured/ill/suspended a lot though. Would be a bit risky if Aribo goes and we are just left with 3 seniors CM's...

Got a feeling Edozie will go to Belgium or Holland. Can see Aribo being re-integrated though, given we aren't stacked with CM's.

Decent enough signing for them tbh

I don't think it is

Their fans seem a bit disappointed to see him go - it appears their manager isn't a fan of younger players. They say he has great potential, is hard working and quick. Seems like his main weakness is strength - does look like he could do with hitting the weights.

Doumbia looks big and strong. Exactly what we've been missing from our midfield for a while. Can certainly see why we are going after him (if the reports are true). Maybe Downes is on his way out?

What I meant was that every time he abandons "russball" his teams seem to get a result. So why got back to using the tactics that don't seem to work?

We abandoned it for our games vs Leeds and we won all 3. To me, that means his tactics don't work.
