Honestly he's the best loanee of the Mowbray era.

He's faster than Gallagher and Dolan. I'd argue he's quicker than Khadra too, but it'd be a close run race.

You have Giles playing in a more advanced position now.

He's changed formation to 4-2-3-1. Doesn't Fancy Dack as a False 9, apparently.

Bloody hell, he's giving Hedges a game. We must be in trouble!

I want to see Dack as the False 9 in this formation.

I think we've got 11 Championship goals in that front 3 today. That's the problem.

He looked out on his feet on Tuesday.

We started the game with Khadra at RWB, but he went off with a calf injury. Mowbray brought Pickering on and shifted Giles to RWB.

Another stupid yellow card for Buckley.

2 excellent chances in the first 2 minutes. 2 awful finishes.

Giles.

We've been terrible since Khadra went off injured.

You think we're playing 4 at the back?!

Looks like the 3-5-2 with Dolan playing as a False 9. Buckley at RWB.

Exactly. What was the attendance last night, 11k? Go listen to the roar when we scored - I haven't heard Ewood Park that loud for a long time. The people that still go to Ewood after a decade of the Venky's are the absolute hardcore. That first half was diabolical (we should have been 2-0 down). After scoring 3 goals in 2 and a half months of football, enough was enough.

I think you'll find that Johnson's fault. Horror pass to Travis in his own box.

Absolutely nobody here.

That's very harsh on both. Pickering is an ok Championship LB. He's being played out of position as a LWB, he's not athletic enough. Similarly JRC is a wide attacking player shoehorned in at RWB. Again he's not athletic (or defensively sound enough) to play there.

Baffling team that. Is he trying Rothwell as the False 9? Even tho he's made his mark and his season as a CM? Johnson is past it, it's like playing with 10 when he trots out there. To me Dolan nailed down the False 9 role with his MOtM performance recently. Play him there and give Hedges a bloody game as the IF on the right.

Wrong thread.

Who was the blonde keeper warming up with the subs who couldn't save any shots?

As they say, it's a game of opinions. The switch to 4 at the back allowed Bristol City to get a foot in the game. They hadn't had a sniff before that. We were creating chances with the 3-4-3, as we have all season. One of which was JRC being put clean through, but I digress... He remains a bad manager and he needs to leave.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but the switch to a back 4 was moronic. Bristol City hadn't had a sniff, yet we decided to shift Lenihan to RB (which he absolutely can't play - defensively or offensively) and suddenly we were all at sea at the back. The 3-4-3 we play with a False 9 is tailor made for Dack - why not just take off the misfiring Buckley and replace him with Dack? Instead he shuffled all of the deck chairs on the Titanic.
