    Didn't we beat Birmingham after going a goal down?

    its tactics that lets Hume drift all over the pitch tho right? Leaving the right winger isolated. Is it not tactics that leaves us ****e in the midfield because players are just drifting all over the shop whenever they want?
    Or are we just blaming the players for this bad run and Mobray gets all the praise when it works?

    Performance was shocking there mind. Subs made a difference when they came on, but plan was still just get the ball wide and hope for the best - which Millwall worked out within 10 mins. Tone wont last much longer.

    Just do it now. We won't get anything from the next two games anyway.

    Its the tactics for me. Keep doing the same things keep getting the same results. We have to mix the play up a bit but I worry because this has been going on for weeks now with no obvious change. Just one example What's happened to our overlapping full backs why are they both filling in midfield and passing sideways.

    Pretty poor that today. The worry for me is that each performance since Norwich has been worse game by game.
    We chop and change strikers as if Mowbray is desperate to find a formula that suddenly works.
    Roberts is a big problem, as is O9

    Can't believe I'm saying this, but we need some experienced players in Jan. Sign a couple of Championship Bastards who can dig in and protect the young kids when the going gets tough.

    No we took the lead against Birmingham.

    Over the last 10 games we have picked up 11 points which puts us 16th in the form table. Birmingham and Stoke have picked up 11 points in the same period and I think they are poor sides.

    OK, it's all mowbrays fault or 09's fault.

    I don't know what people expect when we win, the tactics (apparently the same ones we are using) are brilliant when we lose Mowbray is useless, the tactics are **** and 09 is the worst centre half ever to play football

    Over the last 50 years I've seen a few shocking performances ..

    ... that doesn't come close tbh.

    honest mate Hume has me raging I honestly think he stays on the right and bombs forward we are a completely different team. Second half after the subs when we looked dangerous is was because he was staying in his position and it makes us more effective!

    that’s down to Mobray because there’s no way he’s aloud to do that if he’s not being told too.

    That’s not the point though? Just because we’ve had a ****e 50 years doesn’t mean we should just accept whatever we get given now. This squad is far more capable than we are currently seeing, and a big part of it is Mowbray’s lack of any sort of plan B.

    don’t believe I’ve ever slated o’nien like but ok :emoticon-0148-yes: Mobray sets the tactics and formation so who else is to blame? I don’t think Hume is just deciding to just go wherever he wants like or do you think he is just ignoring the manager?
