This is awful so far. We're wide open down the flanks and at this moment we don't have a "false 9", "false 10" or anything resembling a striker. The movement is non existent.

I'd get Pritchard or Embo off already for Cirkin and drop to 3 at the back to give us a footing in the game.

Yeah

Simply can not sustain having no striker , teams work us out. Swansea have so far.

Formation change maybe the only way.

Aye. Getting a good whooping here. Be down to 10 men soon, that off the pace.

They're walking through our midfield. I'd change Neil and Embo for Matete and Ba, right now.

We are toothless up top, I don’t know what else he could do though to change it.

If we have sustained possession in the final third, I feel like our movement can compensate for a lack of striker. But when we're playing on the counter it doesn't work and when we're under the cosh, it's even more difficult because we have no outlet to allow us to get up the pitch.

With the players we have on the pitch now either Embleton or Pritchard have to stay up top to give an option
 
Here's a thought for way out there. Gooch always said he saw himself as a forward, put O'Nien at RB shuffle Batth and Alese in the middle and Cirkin at left back and take either Neil or Evans off since they are on a yellow

We knew there'd be times in games like this.
Swans are a good side as their results have proven.
