Thats as bad as Robbie Williams Mind you we only conceded 2 this time. By the time he gets around to playing Muller in midfield, we should be able to keep a clean sheet
I was thinking about Gudjon this afternoon Remember when he had all those defenders in the team?? SD said that "Bobby did really well", so we'll have to wait and see if he keeps his place or not...
But when Gudjon had them in at least we werent conceding this many and at least they looked like they knew what the were supposed to be doing. They just were not good enough really. This lot are supposedly a far better squad than we have had in years , so why are we playing fullbacks in midfield? fecking Deluded ,

it's a shame we dont have any players who are used to playing behind the midfield If only we had someone like sam togwell or heaven forbid even paul reid at the club. He wouldnt have had to play the right back in his 3rd position in three weeks then.
To be honest - Hassell did OK The 2 biggest problems first half were because we tried to play a filled in diamond in the middle there was no one for the full backs to pass to - the number of times Van Homoet or tininho looked up to pass the ball to JCR or Devaney and they werent there was particularly annoying. Also Playing Coulson as a lone striker was a strange idea - no way is he ready to play that role, good way to break his confidence. Second half we reverted to 4-4 1-1 and then 4-4-2 and looked much much better Still didnt look like scoring though - but Odejayi did miss from 3 yards - not an easy chance when he tried to hit it with his feet when a diving header would have been a better bet
