Don't know what's going on with Mykola, a good friend of mine tells me that he's nowhere near ready, to raw at moment, there maybe others issues, but I really don't know.
Two successive managers haven't picked him though so they can't all be wrong, surely? |
2 managers didn't pick whitacker either,so ye 2 cab be wrong | | | |

We would be better off with ten men.
He is truly a liability | |

Agree..even the goal he scored other week at home,he sh@t out of it and somehow it hit him and went in..he is truly useless. | | | |

Few players are dangerous to their own team.jerry is sadly.
He really should never replace anyone 8nless they are injured
Cullen was ineffective but not a liability | |

If he'd been a yard further out he'd have missed. His confidence is shot to pieces. |  | | |

We really are looking a much stronger outfit now.
Is it too soon to be quietly optimistic about next season? Maybe should be getting too far ahead. | |

It's shaping up but it will depend on the Summer recruitment's. Still far too many mistakes, Cabango puts the shits up me all game. Big shout out to Nauts today. | | | |

Thought Cabango did better than usual.
We definitely need Darling in the back line. Easily our best CB for me. However, it doesn't matter who we pick as long as we keep maintaining the high defensive line that we do. Blackburn had more than enough openings to force a draw today. A better team with quicker forwards would have cut us to ribbons. |  |

Maybe so, but there have certainly been many more positives recently. We are actually creating chances and scoring goals. | |

And they have done e.g. Leeds
The high line worries me. Defending by attacking is all well and good if you can keep the concentration and fitness levels for 90+ minutes. |  |

I don't want to be sat here in 12/18 months time looking for another new manager because Williams has made the same mistake as Martin and not compromised on obviously flawed strategy. I want him to learn.
Despite several drubbings as a direct result of his defensive decisions he has not yet done so. That concerns me. | |

Could be worse Liverpool paid 45 million for Gakpo and he's shocking, I'm watching game of the day and the chances he's had and fluffed up is incredible and this is a regular occurrence. | |

Nothings worse than yates,I would say he's the worst centre forward I have seen playing for this club,he cannot do anything,and I've seen some bad ones Stewart Phillips,Christian maclean to name 2,but this fella takes the biscuit.. | | | |

Aidan Newhouse surely takes the biscuit. Genuinely could not understand how he was a professional footballer. | |

My worries about Darling is he gets out muscled at times and also while trying to out muscle shorter forwards forgets that he has an height advantage and didn't attack it in the air as per Martin's need to over play at the back wanting his players to block the opposition player to mop up possession but left us exposed to pace as our back line didn't fit together properly.
We needed Centerback in the defence and in Martin's second season we got them but it was about getting the combination right, it never worked with the three especially
as Cabango and Darling weren't comfortable on the left of the three and often got in each others way at set pieces going for the same ball, similarly getting ripped to pieces . Martin eventually settled on four at the back with Wood and Cabango the central pairing and went on a good run.
Did we struggled at the start of this season because we had four centrehalves and we we trying to accommodate them all, it would seem as if Williams was looking to still use three at the back hence letting so many left backs go but now looks as if he sees four at the back works but has left us short on the left.
He has players coming back to fitness and is using their experience instead of loanees who have been prone to mistakes as you would expect.
If Key and Lowe are coming back into fitness then the second half substitutions may not weaken us so much but having said that yesterday's poor second half preformance was down to the changes that Blackburn made, they had better movement which we didn't cope well even before our substitutions and yet we should have put the game to bed with a break away as they over committed and we held fast to keep the three points | | | |

Personally I think the intensity we played the first half of the last two matches can't be maintained. This is where the substitutions are vital to maintain the momentum. I wouldn't being against making one or two at halftime to come out flying, instead of making changes 15 minutes later, our bench is strong enough now. Any plans the opposition made at halftime could well be nulled. |  | | |

The bench may look stronger but would you risk some of the players coming back after lengthy injuries with a full 45 minutes?
Midweek game changes to starting line up? Don't really want to see them but wonder what the mindset of the manager will be, keep it tight as the home team tries to attack catching them on the break but not playing both winger only one and then swap them half time? | | | |
