    Also let anyone but Pritchard take the corners, we rarely win headers and he's better on the edge of the box feeding off the clearances.

    A new nanager almost always says the team he has just inherited is not fit enough, in this case he talks about imbalance and tiredness

    The confidence dropped away after our best performance of the season. It's bizarre. Did that 99th min Wycombe goal destroy our confidence?

    I can’t understand why the new manager can’t just ask each player privately what went wrong from winning to turning to s hit overnight, they aren’t robots I’m sure they will know better than anybody what happened to make it go tits up.

    Are we due to lose any
    Yes , and similarly, as I’m sure he’s watched video of last 3 games , I hope he’s also watched the Sheffield wed game to see how we sometimes got it right .

    Correct, we're not as bad as we currently think we are.

    I was thinking more for Defoe, Roberts, maybe Onien as well. Players who will need extra fitness to have an impact. Neil, Doyle, Cirkin etc dont need it, they need a break.

    I think to be fair mate some of our players need fitness work. We have brought in Defoe and Roberts, as he said, who havent played. Defoe looks a fair way off to me. I think they will need to be working on that fitness. I am not talking about running hill repeats. But they need game fitness in my opinion so I would be doing extra indoor 5 a side or futsal with them and some u23s. I would really push them at intervals on that basis, 5 minute halves, 8 minute halves, u23s play with extra man etc. Nothing builds match fitness (fast turns, 3 yard sprints, speed of thought etc etc) than old school 5 a side off the walls.

    I honestly can’t see us getting play offs. MK Dons will batter us next week.
