We really have gone backwards. Remember all the warbsball triangles last year - they have gone and we did not look likely to score in the opening 15 minutes when we were dominant. Very worrying. |  | | |

We're still giving it everything.
I think the 522/342 formation is leaving us short in midfield and drawing them on to us, though. |
See my post earlier. It was completely the wrong change. Go 441. Everyone else keeps position, we try to continue outplaying then up to the box and hope we get a goal or two. Asking a lot to change the shape so much. |  | | |

Started off well. 15-20 mins they hardly touched the ball. Then a fortunate bounce between Barbet who is stretching to cut the pass out then comes off Dickie into Woodrow's path.
Something they didn't deserve. Its a pen and red though. Not attempt to play the ball.
Then second is just not following a runner across the area.
Games gone. We are not scoring 2 with 10 men. |  |

I'm more worried that Dykes isn't actually fit. |
He looked tired just before the break.
I said at the time of the sending off that Bonne should have been taken off, I see now that that would have been wrong. I don't think that Dykes has 90 in him so maybe Bonne had to stay on the pitch for that reason.
Maybe it should have Masterson for Dykes. |  |

I did, and still do, think the reaction after we lost to Coventry bordered on hysterical, but as things stand at the moment you can't be in this form and not be under pressure as a manager/coaching team.
Which I'm sure Warburton is aware of.
I'm definitely not jumping onto a "SACK EVERYONE NOW!" train just yet and you never know how the rest of this game might pan out, but but but...the form isn't good, hasnt been good for a long while and it is a results business... |
If you keep giving the opposition a free shot from 12 yards when you dont need to make a challenge you will lose games.
Against teams like this we would be better keeping 11 on the pitch and conceding, especially with an hour left to play .
Good players play with their brain engaged |  | | |

To be fair, we should have scored after 20 seconds! Chair shot from 5 yards out and it was a goal bound block. And if either of our forwards anticipated some great crosses they’d have had sitters.
Their forwards have had far less service but look much much livelier in terms of anticipation.
That is the problem. | | | |

Were losing 2 nil at Barnsley mate. |
Yes, to clarify, I should have said with good spirit.
There's a lot of well paced breaking moves not coming off in the final third for a few reasons. It's better than I saw against Birmingham but the big difference is a brain storm from Dickie.
I don't think we're actually playing badly even though we've been weak a couple of times and paid heavily for it.
If we're going to improve then they have to work on the concentration of the defence, all penalties have been the result of weak defending which were recoverable but they were then followed up by terrible decisions by Wallace twice and now Dickie. That is coachable, drill the defence constantly on recovering the 2nd ball without fouling, its badly needed.
General play I think we've looked ok |  | | |

I'm not keen on Albert playing deeper. He looked to be our best threat at the start when we were playing well. I'd push him back forward and give him as much ball as possible to see if he can cause some havoc. | | | |

At least we can claim the moral high ground by not playing Bright |  |

From Bonne giving the ball away cheaply yet again that first goal really was one that we deserved to see live after taking half a day off and driving 200 miles through the rain. A beautiful Rangers away goal for the purists. | | | |

Yeah, it was stupid from Dykes. But the real issue is whether the coaching staff have raised this with him already. If so, he needs a serious dressing down and to make an apology to his teammates. If not, then the coaches need to take some accountability as we have call noticed it, London has, Sinton has...
We’ll never know but it’s important for the team and the future nonetheless.
Accountability. | | | |

We'll do well to score two goals before Xmas |  |

Watched the penalty again. What was Dickie thinking?
Stupid, really stupid to pull him back. |  |

We're out again. Why am I still watching and hoping? 🤔 | |

Absolutely desperate to remain glass half full, so writing this one off, not watching second half, gonna stick an old Bourne movie on - then, as they say. "go again on Saturday" |  |

Funnily enough this same Sky commentator mentioned Dickies habit of pulling opponents back by the shoulder during the last game and if he can see it....!! |  | | |

It was always going to be a tough season after selling Eze and the Bright situation won’t help.
But I still think it’s too early to judge the likes of Bonne, Dykes, Dickie etc. Quite a few of this first team making the step up for the first time (Kakay, Nico etc) and they’ll need time to adapt.
Trying to stay optimistic here! |  | | |

We didn’t recover at all after selling Les Ferdinand. I’m beginning to think we might have a similar future after selling Eze. The stuffing, excitement, flair and positivity seem to have left with him. Very worrying. | | | |

IMO we need a couple of tough midfield players, we have no engine.
Tom Carroll is not the type of player we need in midfield.
Warburton has to change his playing style, he's a stubborn old person. |  | | |

The players' body language was, unsurprisingly, dreadful going in at HT. We need a consistent, positive, response this half. Whatever the final result. | | | |

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum the other day. Not seen it in years. Really enjoyed it. More so than I have the last 45 mins. Significantly more. | | | |
