September 20, 20178 yr Ipswich was a mustn't lose, this is a must win Fucked if I know what our 'best team' is Our midfield resembles the Bermuda Triangle, whoever you put in, whatever the formation, they just go missing Think we do need to go two up front for this, whilst I've been relatively impressed with Madine thus far, he hasn't got a decent amount of goals in him at this level and we are in dire need of scoring on Saturday Playing Madine up top alone makes sense against the best teams in the division (on paper anyway), not sure it does on Saturday
September 20, 20178 yr it looks to me whenever we try to 'play football' we give the fcuking thing away in stupid positions and concedeWe do that when we tighten up'
September 20, 20178 yr Definitely front foot this one draw no good fortune favours the brave muck or nettles etc!
September 21, 20178 yr Nothing to do with systems, it's about how good the players are. Ours are League 1.
September 21, 20178 yr Nothing to do with systems, it's about how good the players are. Ours are League 1. 100% agree with the first bit as fert rest - id say they may be a bit better than that but playing without confidence
September 21, 20178 yr Nothing to do with systems, it's about how good the players are. Ours are League 1. In that case why did conte change to 3 at back and then go on to win the league? Surely the Chelsea players are good enough to win with 4 at the back?
September 21, 20178 yr Author Sometimes it's not as much having the quality but getting the best from what you have Our squad has plenty of championship experience
September 21, 20178 yr Author Experience of losing yeahim just saying on paper we have experience that obviously isn't showing on the pitch There has been plenty of clubs scraping by in this league for years with poor squads
September 21, 20178 yr im just saying on paper we have experience that obviously isn't showing on the pitch There has been plenty of clubs scraping by in this league for years with poor squads All those teams have players who can score goals though. Our squad isn't terrible, but we're so short of people to score - how many in our squad have scored double figures in a season at this level? Not just up front, but in midfield too. We struggled this way even last season, relied on set pieces and Wheater and Beevers. This league though, you don't win as many corners and free kicks so we're struggling in that way.

September 21, 20178 yr Vela scored plenty from midfield. Last year. He may continue once fit, but to be honest, without a load of chances being created, no one is likely to get towards 20 goals a season.

September 21, 20178 yr barnsley top scorer was 8 last time it can be done How many players do we have likely to score 5? Let alone 8?
September 21, 20178 yr Author How many players do we have likely to score 5? Let alone 8?the point I'm making is you don't necessarily need a top goal scorer to stay up in this league. Madine will get 5 come may
September 21, 20178 yr the point I'm making is you don't necessarily need a top goal scorer to stay up in this league. Madine will get 5 come may If you don't have a regular goalscorer you need goals throughout the side. That is my point. We don't have enough goals at this level in the teams we are sending out.
September 21, 20178 yr the point I'm making is you don't necessarily need a top goal scorer to stay up in this league. Madine will get 5 come may That's brave. He didn't last time we were in this league
September 21, 20178 yr Nothing to do with systems, it's about how good the players are. pretty sure that is what Owen Coyle used to insist upon with his 4-4-2 fetish and eagerness to drop Muamba / 4-5-1 he was talking shite
September 21, 20178 yr Conceding less than 3 would be a start. Got to find a way of keeping teams to nil then you always have a chance. We aren't going to out score many in this league.
