    I'd post em, but it's not letting me.


    He basically wants to know why we're playing just one up to. And says he hopes they're out of contract and Danny can rebuild otherwise it'll be another struggle in League One.



    I've asked his opinion on TK.

    Only danny knows why we playing one up front maybee danny has realised too late and brought rose back bit of pace and finisher to play off cog for last two games and dont think they will be any trouble with players leaving most are out of contract at end of season a think

    we beat Reading and yeovil with 2 up front. then got injuries. that was the time to stick with 2 up front and put Rose in, not revert back to 1 up

    1 up front because playing 4-4-2 clearly wasn't working due to a lack of a solid central midfield player (Frimpong was brought in to do that job bur sadly hasn't lived up to anyone's expectations). I think on reflection we should have perhaps gone back to trying 4-4-2 at home and stuck with 4-5-1 away from home.

    As said above we won at Reading and Yeovil with 2 up front - OGrady and Pedersson / RNL - both got injured and we havent anyone else - well big Nick but ....

    Hoping the reason Rose has brought back is to start alongside OGrady

    The reality is that we didn't really play two up front at Yeovil as it was 0-0 when Pederson went off injured, and RNL came on but not as an out and out striker, more in the role Cywka has been asked to do the last three or four games.

    We also won at Charlton with one up front, deserved at least a point away at an in form Bolton team with one up front, and got a credible draw at home to Brighton with one up front.

    It hasn't been an out and out 4-5-1 though, Cywka has definitely been told (other than Derby away) to play much further in front of a midfield four.

    This whole debate over 1 or 2 up front is absolute nonsense. It's all about how you play the system. We've been on the whole garbage with both.

    I'd say we've only looked decent with 2 up top when Pederson & O'Grady have partnered one another & we've ground out a couple of wins with 1 up top. We've not looked great with either though
