Would keep the bids for Dack at bay.

We should keep Lenihan, but we need someone else like him (but more experienced) for backup - he's becoming a leader and is rough and tough and the mistakes will get ironed out... I wince when he comes for headers he shouldn't. Next to one of the two ruffians should be Mulgrew or an improvement on him. It's sad but Charlie is winding down and physically ailing. But we need someone to get a foot on the ball and be composed. Rodwell is not that man unless he goes on a crash course in how to actually be a CB for me. HOWEVER - I think in a 3 at the back, those 3 would be a decent mix, Lenihan in the centre. Some competition HAS to be brought in though, Williams disposed of and bring Wharton/Magloire through. More or less agree with everything else @Bigdoggsteel

4-3-3 wasn’t it? Thought the pressing and control of midfield was good.

Many ways to look at it. If we drop one of them and lose to Bristol City, the criticism remains. Out of the two games I would have targeted Reading as “easier” for Armstrong/Brereton to make the difference. TBH I’m starting to think that D&G are only particularly effective as a pair rather than individually anyway.

For what it’s worth, Mowbray said in his post match interview that Dack’s knock is still troubling him, he only trained one day this week and almost didn’t make the bench whilst Graham is feeling the games a bit and looking fatigued. (or words to that effect)

Feels like more tbh

The. Fucking. Championship. Have a nice night everyone.

Not arsed about Rodwell @AdamRochina

What is defending

He bloody well owed us that

Would like to see a replay on that penalty shout

You on about when he just took it past 3 and got fouled?

Evans for Dack for me

I was hoping that was deflected ?

I keep reading this from people that after two losses say the season is over. So if we’d spunked a load on Assombalonga or something, upset the wage structure, but happened to lose two games... ...what an amazing business decision that would have been. We’ve played decently this half. STILL CANNOT BELIEVE the amount of “Mowbray out” on here.

I would like a new left back. Or two. We were doing fine up until Bell just stopped playing.

He’s open to it with any lineup

You have a low bar for happy if that’s how it read. Apologies whilst I throw myself off a bridge before we’ve even kicked off.

Raya back four Smallwood Travis. Evans Conway. Armstrong Brereton 4-3-3 with Smallwood deepest and Brereton up top

Apt username. I note your other points but perhaps wait and see what happens in the match? Dont usually see calls for the managers’ head before kick off.

4-3-3 with a strong bench, let’s see how it works out. Brereton will score.

Such an underrated finish that last one from Dack - the way he lets it run across his body is sheer class.

Well looks like we’ve won the coveted “who are the biggest suckers for click bait” trophy. (I voted twice)

I’ve got a bet on with a Wendy that we’ll finish above them and I’m still massively confident. They weren’t conceding too many before Bruce came in (Jos playing a flat back 10), but they haven’t scored more than one in game since we tonked them and then they drew with Rotherham in early December. They are crap, they might not concede as many in a game, but we will get more points.
