    Lacking a real desire and energy so far. Surely time for some fresh legs, a lot of these lads have been playing non stop for months.

    Refs a **** giving us nowt, Mayender is ineffective against these fouling twats, need a change Connelly on and a bit more bite in midfield, Dan Neil playing well, change the set-up as we are not pressuring their goalie, they are cutting out our midfield straight into attack

    I'd make 3 changes here Aouchice for Rigg Alese for Cirkin and Connolly for either Mayenda or Isidor.

    Won't happen like but surely Regis can see this ain't working we are lucky to still be in with a half chance to be fair

    Need to do something. The midfield is actually becoming a problem instead of a strength. Getting passed round and really looking leggy

    Very poor that. Lucky to have a lifeline with the Ballard goal but other than a couple of moments we've been comfortably the worst side on the pitch.

    Feel like i'm going to go crazy if I keep talking about it but until it changes I will keep bringing it up. Our chance creation is appalling. We'll finish closer to the bottom than the top of the table if this doesn't improve quickly, I guarantee you that.

    We can't build from the back without O'Nien seemingly and we have no outball as Isidor can't hold the ball up so Swansea are finding it so easy to pin us in and win the ball high up the pitch.

    Need some creativity on the pitch. Now.

    AA and aleksic on if we’re serious here.

    two players that are regarded as 10’s and creative midfielders

    but he won’t do it.

    his lack of risk taking frustrates me

    Been the same for a while, was the key early on but a massive hindrance currently, massive fixture pile up to come too

    Mayenda for rigg, aouchiche left

    Onien for Ballard for passing option at some point

    Make a change straight away and I'll be happy but I very much doubt it

    I’d be shocked to see this manager change anything yet. We’ll see…

    he’s all about control, covering ground. Structure and organisation, no room for mavericks

    Might be good for us to go in at HT with something to play for instead of trying to retain a scoreline.

    all well and good maybe at home against low sides.

    but sometimes you need a maverick who’ll pull something out of nowt

    This performance has been coming...our midfield look laboured and predictable. Rigg looks knackered, Jobe getting caught in possession...To be fair, Dan Neil continues to play well. even our defence looks pretty shaky.
    Take a chance on the Serb kid....

    I'd love to see it but that's never going to happen.
