    Another upcoming game where we will be bored by an inability to change due to stubbornness or not having a clue! Only difference is England may score first and sit in rather than playing that way from the start.
    Can’t wait for next season to be hopefully different, we may even see some fresh blood in this week

    Going 1-0 down early on might be a better game although that will mean 11 Slovakians parked across the penalty area. At least it would make our lot attack

    If you were manager it would make YOU attack.

    Have you noticed though that when we score early the general view is that we can't defend the lead to the end of the game, but if our opponents score early, we can't break down their packed defence.
    Very reminiscent of BFC in fact.

    It would help if selection fitted the basic criteria of a functioning side in that formation

    Left footed left back
    2 midfielders playing centre mid
    2 Winger with pace who stick wide

    That would be a start.

    If we're too scared to attack because we might concede it's time to pack in.

    The whole idea of football is a simple one. Score more goals than the opposition to win. Doesn't matter how you do that but it's easier to try to score more goals than it is to defend. Regardless of ability.

    It's better to change down than try to change up. This side going a goal down in defensive mode would be a disaster.

    It's a simple game ruined by morons like Southgate.

    I wouldn't call Southgate a moron. Deluded, tactically inept, stubborn and visionless maybe but moron is a bit harsh!!

    Joking aside I think this has been our best performance.
