Good spot. Pity this is hidden away in the wasteland of the Concourse.

Ha ha. What a tool. Chapman more chance of an England call up than Dack. ?? Oh wait. That was me. ?

Nick Powell moved for 5.25m from Crewe to Man U in 2012. Assombalonga also moved for around 5m in 2014 to Forest who were in the Championship. I don't think transfer prices have risen that much for league one players. I just think Dack was extra-ordinarily cheap at the price we paid.

If you are saying one on one's will hold Armstrong back from being in the top class Aguero, Ibra, Shearer, Messi, Ronaldo bracket, then I think there's far more to his games he needs to improve upon.

Andy Cole. 175 goals for Rovers, Newcastle and Man United alone. 229 goals in total. England International. Record British transfer. All round top class striker. Dodgy at one on ones.

Someone said the other week that the sides that have beaten us would 'definitely be in the top 6 at the end of the season", as though it was to be expected we would struggle to compete with those sides. Since we lost to those sides, their records have all been iffy. Forest - W1 , D3 , L1 (Failed to be Luton, Derby and Rotherham) Ex Premier League Watford - W1 , D2 , L1 (Failed to beat Wycombe. Lost at Barnsley) Reading - L2 (Lost to Coventry and PNE) Swansea - D1 There's always an excuse when we aren't doing well. Always a reason to leave it for 3 / 6 / 12months. . We needed another proper striker at the club in the summer. I said it was one of the 3 priority signings and got names like Gally and Brereton thrown back at me. If they are leading the line we will always be blunt, unless Dack somehow returns and fits into our formation at the top of his game.

Just looking back through this thread and I think I've found the exact moment the wheels came off this season..... Since then - L L W L L D

In answer to the topic title, tippy tappy shite with an overloaded midfield that is suited to counter attacking, coupled with rancid defending.

Gallagher looks poorer now than he did first time around. He looks less mobile. I don't think he's a player that is improving. That said, the attributes he has shows point to him being more effective up front than stuck out on the wing or dropping deep.

Give him time lads. It is a work in progress lads. Two centre halves that played in our defence when we got relegated four seasons ago. Still playing in our defence tonight. Work in progress.

Holtby wasn't out on his feet. He was our best and most creative player we had. We lost momentum when Gallagher came on and we lost further momentum when Holtby went off. Mowbray masterclass.

16 minutes.

We've lost a lot of momentum since he pulled Elliot inside and put SG out wide. Master stroke.

He has lost the ball every time he has touched it with his feet so far.

26

Holtby is flying in on people like he wants Halloween off. Scary stuff.

Quite tidy. His first touch has improved a lot.

Again

You do get the feeling we can score a couple more.

Elliot is just awesome. Looks a level above everyone else.

Not exactly. Probably just put the defence under pressure and the mistakes will come.

If anyone wanted JRC at right back before Nyambe they want their head examining. Defensively this is dire. What is 'pathetic' is expecting fans not to be angry about this defensive horror show when Mowbray has fed us the same faults for 3 years. Defensively naive and spineless. Reading may yet take their foot off and we may get back into this because we look decent going forward.

3-1 Needed a right back on the pitch at the start of that move there Tony.

Imagine if we could defend.
