    Any keeper who doesn't have confidence in the defence in front of him struggles.

    Likewise any defence that doesn’t have confidence in the keeper struggles

    Doc always shows effort.. the problem is that it comes with not a great deal at the end of it...
    I said last night... a lot to do with yet another new manager with ideas coming in when they were just buying into the old ideas... this is not a bunch of happy campers...

    Fair point, though the last goal, if Christie had not got the deflection then he would have probably saved it, hence why it was awarded an OG.

    'If' your doomsday scenario does come anywhere near true,then it may bring about the much cliched 'bed wetting' that one or two posters like to mention in the vast majority of their posts.

    I loved the kid when he came on loan last year but he is not showing the same confidence and commanding precence he did when he came last season.
    Figgy is not a ball player, he would be best sat inbetween Greaves and McLoughlin as part of a back 3 for me with Christie and Elder at full back but without confidence in your GK it all becomes very difficult. We used to be able to hear Baxter communicating with the players last year, not hearing that anymore. In fact until Coyle came on I did not notice much talk in the back line at all.

    The Championship is just such an unforgiving competition and these blokes are struggling to regain their confidence when week on week theyre being put up against fairly high quality players with no real plan or organsiation that we can see. Maybe Rosenior will be able to address that, who knows?

    I think he struggled from day one. I know we were crap at Swansea but Ingram has done a lot better this season

    Or they defend even better because they know they can’t trust him… that’s how I was coached anyways.

    There was on point Greaves had a go at him for not coming off his line, Greaves literally cleared it in the 6 yard box.

    He had a rant. But rather than face up to Baxter and call him out, he sort of shouted at the ground. Compare and contrast to say an Ashbee. There is no way on this earth that Greaves should be captaining a side, it's a joke. (I know he's VC, and 'only' captaining because Coyle is out of the starting 11). One more thing for Rosie to sort out.

    No other nationality does self deprecating sarcasm like us English, and proof that few understand it is above. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Greaves is never captain material in a million years

    Doc’s shown an bit of heart over the last few weeks, I’m still not sure where he fits in the team and if he does long term

    Point proven then. Doc is a fantastic L1 player and a bottom end champ squad player. He's one of the most dedicated and naturally fit players I've ever seen, but he's reaching his ceiling imo. ( I'll be happy to see him prove me wrong )

    He could be a cracking player if, when he had the ball, he had awareness of what was around him! But he rarely does.
