Did we ascertain whether Pears is injured, pissed off, or about to be sold.

Apparently he's been struggling with a wrist injury for a few weeks.

How’s he hurt his wrist?

Due to not being able to score in a brothel like his team mates.

Seen the game now. Biggest difference between the sides apart from individual quality? The answer would be: intensity. We looked miles off it and could've easily conceded more than three to be honest.

Toth (6) - pulled off a nice save from Egeli at the start of game. Should've done better for the second goal. Played sweeper keeper in second half and made some good interceptions.

Atcheson (6) - tough to criticise the young lad as he's been thrown into a team who's struggling. Looks a promising talent and is quite comfortable on the ball.

McLoughlin (5) - has been a disappointment all season. Doesn't possess leadership qualities needed to organise a young central defence.

Cashin (0) - an absolute joke of a footballer. Reminds me a bit of JRC at times; same type of boots, lacks game intelligence and overall just poor positioning and movement. Great finish for the own goal; you can see on the replay that he checks behind his back twice before ball is played into the box and despite seeing De Neve being level with the opponent, he still doesn't trust him enough to let the ball run across goal. We'll quickly become relegated if he has a clause in his contract regarding playing time.

De Neve (2) - has a bit of pace but that's it. Positional awareness for the third goal is a joke as well.

TGH (3) - looked lost playing at right wing back.

Tronstad (5) - best performer of the midfield three but struggled with the intensity of the game.

Baradji (4) - poor. Looks nonchalant and disinterested. No urgency both in- and out of possession. Feels like he can do so much better but needs someone to get him fired up badly.

Cantwell (3) - disastrous performance. If he's going to behave and play like that, then you might as well strip him off the captaincy armband right now. Poor set pieces, doesn't track back properly and sloppy in possession.

Henriksson (2) - sorry to say it but this was a bad transfer move from the club's perspective. Looks overwhelmed by the intensity of the league and doesn't possess any technical quality that allows him to compete at this level.

Ohashi (5) - same type of performance as usual. Pressing game is good but he's annoyingly ineffective in- and around the box. Doesn't have enough pace to play on the last man and can't compete in the air. Roughly speaking, he's doesn't possess any qualities that enables him to be competitive as the main striker for a Championship side. 

Subs:

Jorgensen (5) - had one decent move in behind opposition defence and looked threatening on that occasion. Otherwise quite anonymous and didn't see much of the ball.

Forshaw, Doherty (N/A)

The next edition of FM needs to give him a 1 out of 20 for positioning. And that's only because it doesn't do 0s.

Sammy certainly looks fed up down there and he's way too good to be bench fodder but the chances of getting him back here are slim to non.

No point dreaming.

Screams Coventry/Boro loan with option to buy if they go up.
