433??

I really think we need to strengthen in the Jan window, will give everyone a boost / push

When is the draw for the next round?

Over the moon!!! Amazing way to go into the Derby!!

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor from Buckley I'm afraid

Bumping this as think we clearly need some January additions.. Out.. Dack/Hirst/Costello/Edun In.. Striker/back up LB&RB/experienced CM

1-0 down Might as well have an early night

I would take Ryan back as a backup RB

Personally think best to keep Travis in front of the back 3 or 5.. and have Wharton / Morton in front of him.. dont think he's got the legs to do much else, keep him to tackle and protect the back line and allow others to play / box to box / dribble etc

I think we have to stick with 3 x in CM..

How are we top 6????? Lol Loving it!!

What... a... save...

Time for Dolan to pop up with a goal!

Need to change things otherwise only a matter of time

First 10 mins crucial after that goal from them!

Gallagher is having a storming game!

So we actually not to far away from this?!

My team would be: Kaminski Hyam Ayala Wharton Brittain Pickering Travis Wharton Morton Hedges Diaz This can only work if the wing backs are allowed to bomb down the wings.. Dolan / Markanday / Dock would be options to mix things up post half time.

Did he actually play RWB or more of a floating role?

How was Hedges today? Specifically how did he play at RWB?

And qpr to be fair

Tony 2-0 down...

Unfortunately I couldn't make the game today so will be keeping an eye out on here.. sounds like not the best start 15 mins in!

I said at the start of the season we would come in around 12th, if we are higher than that I'll be pleased. My view based on today and what I have seen so far is: 1. We are massively punching given the players and experience we have. 2. We had an average transfer window not good like many seem to think. Hyam, Brittain, Morton = ticks in the boxes, although Brittain Amber to green. Smodic, Hirst, Mola all have lots to prove and so far we have to say not good enough to impact the team. 3. We desperately need / needed a striker who has strength and pace and CM who can put his foot on the ball. Experienced championship level players not L1 players. 4. The only formation that has worked for us in the last two seasons is with 3 x CB's.. if that's the case we need proper back ups for Pickering and Brittain not makeshift players, the wing backs are key roles with 3 x CB at the back. I have yet to see any other formation work for us. 5. Often we have been over run in CM, JDT needs to have 3 x CM's if that's the case, because it never gets to the attackers so pointless having the 4 may as well have 3... 6. The biggest concern I have is we seem to have a soft under belly.. I have yet to see warrior come backs or even attempts under JDT and I can't help feeling this is a reflection of our manager. I'm hoping we turn the corner but honestly expecting anything other than a mid table final standing with the players we have lost and what we have seen so far is just asking for trouble..
