a reunion for VI, DW and OR.

Agree, can’t start with today’s formation again, we don’t have wing backs, Ribeiro and Brittain were pinned by the opposition and they can’t play through the channels by themselves. 3 CBs lack understanding at times, risky at this point to the mess with things at the back. Need to sort out the midfield instead. JE always steadied the back first.

cant agree more, team formation was too spread out (under JE we were tighter), too many mistakes, players were not used to hitting long passes, ended up playing long balls towards the end, no shape, disjointed....missing man-management to draw a reaction from the players. Another post Jan slide..

JE knew where to hit us, packed the midfield, disrupting the middle of the park and getting lot of bodies in the box. Credit to VI for the change of shape and tactics. Was an uphill battle going 2 nil down so early in the game.

Unfortunate to have Dennis out for this game. This game is made for him.....damn

With Tornstad out, Travis was playing deeper as the ball-winning mid, and Forshaw taking the role to link up with the attackers. Forshaw can't keep up with the pace for the entire game hence midfield was run ragged, as in today and at Swansea last week. Good to have Tornstad back, he needs to be starting. His introduction allowed Travis to unlock the mid and we were better in transitioning. Also, we need to capitalize on our corners and free kicks, was frustrating today.

Maybe it is true that his loan is tied to appearances...

Cue Karanka’s celebration in the Savoy, taking the piss of the board!!

100%, we need Danny Batth back, between him and Hyam they've been clearing the 18-yard box. Pear's positioning and handling is suspect.

Hedges should have been more physical there, Viptonik leaning into him flat

Pears should have played to the whistle, caught in 2 minds Goal 2 & 3, Sanderson, need to put those tackles in… Goal 1…dare I say it….

Started the game well but as many had said, got the team selection wrong, game lost at half time.

2nd half was awful, no link play, no shots. Subs making cameos…

Sanderson been poor today

Hedges needs to be subbed
