Exactly my thoughts, amazing two minutes have changed everything.

For me, it's Evatt all over again in terms of getting a reaction after conceding, especially these last two away games. Dodgy penalties are a part of the game, and conceding a goal shouldn't derail the process. Yet, it clearly does, mentally weak for me, and now SS coming out with questionable post match comments which isn't going to help.

I agree, and this is the first time I didn't feel SS post match comments bore no-relation to what we all witnessed. We were poor and didn't create much at all, albeit those we did we should have scored! I've been refreshed by his honesty previously but he seemed more defensive and telling us what he thinks should have happened rather than what actually did, very Evattesque which is a worry!

Shouldn't be that black and white though should it, if you're a good team and miss, go again and score. It's Evatt mentality all over again.

Did seem a bit like he needed to give him a game, rather than tactical.

What would be the situation with Forss given he is out of contract. Would we still need to agree a pre-contract agreement, or would he just become our player in January if we did offer him a contract seen as he is already here?

They get in that position once and play a good ball, and we just don't, same as same as for how long?? And TSL goals to shots ratio ain't getting any better!

Was just waiting for flag!! And breathe, get in!

I agree, it needs to be finessed, for me it's the equivalent of Evatt's nice tidy triangles getting to the byline, then scared to cross it so pull it back and starting again, v frustrating either way. In terms of tactics SS did say he wants the wingers to use the overlap option more, and to make better choices, so don't think it's lost on him like it was on Evatt that variation is the key.

Yeah, you make some good points, but if we get both sides working well, it definitely gives us a point of difference than the wing back Evatt version

Two things, we haven't lost so 4 draws on the bounce will look ok if we keep playing well and kick on turning good performances into wins, big if I know but very possible! Secondly, we look a proper team, right pegs in n the right holes, so what I'm seeing is what SS is talking about and looks good, but we need wins. This is a step change from Evatt who I was never even sure if he watched the same game or just the tactics as played out in his mind! The one issue is our left and right wings are out of kilter, on the left Conway is ripping it up but whoever in front of him isn't, and other way around on the right, ACD is but JDC or Tutu rarely seem be on the same wavelength. With inverted wingers we need overlapping fullbacks who can deliver, that way we can go inside or out. That along with playing a 10, or two strikers gives us enough variation in the formation for most eventualities, we just need players to start making the key parts of the match count. And finally, Toal, I thought people were over reacting with his performances last season, yes they were down, but he had injuries but I liked him. However he really has gone off this season too which is a shame. GJ always been up and down so no change there.

Wrong thread!

Fucking scary Dalby is turning into the great hope as this shite goes on. Is he up to it??

Let's hope SS' 'time on the grass' is more fruitful than Evatt's ever was, always cam back after a break worse it felt.

Well on the logic on why he dropped Southwood last season, goals conceded v shots, this new keeper needs to be worried!

Not sure he had touched the ball??

All that's as maybe, but he didn't put it on a plate for their striker, the fullback did.

I believe that was his best position at Exeter too, that got him the P'boro move.

I was the same until half time, but their scrappy goal completely knocked us out of our stride. Was just last season all over again, which I found surprising given the changes, but completely changed the game and we didn't really have a proper go which was disappointing.

Maybe a keeper who came off his line?

Like watching last season, have a decentish first half, then, nothing. One scrappy goal should upset us that much, v v poor

Big Vic??? 🤔

I sort of agree, but then also think about the Ipswich team that beat us at home 2-0 and they bossed it with Morsy and Luongo just sat in really, nullifying everything and dictating the play. So horses for courses I suppose, if we have legs everywhere else could Simons and Morley be our two conventional CMs??

Schumacher has to take a little responsibility for the selections and performances, I get the players are the main issue, but fuck me don't they teach them anything!!

Forino ducked!?
