    Presumably we've got some players on the pitch, but as far as I can tell none of them are playing in defence, midfield, or attack. I'm fairly sure we've got a goalkeeper.

    I suspect that they're all doing the usual job of marking pre-determined patches of grass, on the off-chance that an opposition player might wander through.

    How long is this going to continue before someone becomes accountable for the diabolical decision to sign these defenders. I’d dare say the lads from the academy could do a better job

    If the boards not worried, they should be

    Getting destroyed now. Do we need to start looking at stendal and his tactics. Is he out of his depth???

    Doesn't look like it.

    I've just scanned through skys commentary text.

    Every goal bar 1 has been from the centre of the area it says.

    Maybe if everyone stands on the penalty spot we might stop it

    The players aren't up to it, but the manager's tactics aren't helping. Read Red Rain's analysis, he's pretty much got it spot on.

    The high line we played against Brentford was suicide. We couldn't possibly win by doing that.

    Of the 8 defenders we’ve got how many are good enough? And I don’t mean potentially good enough I mean right now?

    It’s 0 for me. Cavare can be decent but is unreliable, Diaby doesn’t look too far off but the rest of them just aren’t up to it, not yet anyway.

    Cavare is closest, but also furthest away in his mad moments. No one else anywhere near. Pinillos can play but he's way, way too slow. Stendel obviously sees that because he won't play him, so why on earth didn't we buy a left back in the summer?

    Because they have no idea what is required, they’ve seriously misjudged it..........by miles and miles.

    It’s why I don’t really see the point in a change of manager because whoever’s in charge it’ll take months for the back four to gel & whoever’s in charge we’re lacking a big centre forward.

    We can all argue slight differences in personnel but in reality there’s only probably Woodrow & Mowatt who look championship quality right now

    Agree with all that.

    We need to defend deeper and get more me behind the ball though. Players aren't up to it but tactics are suicidal. You can't play the tactics Stendel is playing when the players aren't good enough.

    PS - You can, but you end up with the worst defence and the worst attack in the division, which is exactly where we are.

    I can see that argument but I’d also argue that if we tried to pass through teams or go long to a striker we’d also be in a very similar situation as we haven’t got the players to play either way. Basically we’re ******. Until January at least
