I agree but he really needs to look at himself and wonder ‘do I need to set up 5-4-1 and expect less than 30% possession against a bottom three side to scrape results or should I be more proactive and positive?’. We need to capitalise on our league position, not stagnate and try to limp over the line by being too cautious going into games.
Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United games need to be six points but also need to be emphatic, positive performances.
You're my witness - I said exactly the same after Ipswich as I'll say now - why do we keep making ****ing changes after we win?
Once again, we swapped to a formation we are unfamiliar with and once again we looked ****ing ridiculously bad. It's becoming a bit of a meme from where I'm standing because we go to Wrexham, deservedly win after a dominant performance and then for some bastard reason we once again swap to a really defensive formation with wing backs and look complete ****e. It's happened multiple times this season where we've put in a great shift and grabbed three points, then gone to a worse side and been absolute bobbins - Sheffield Wednesday on Boxing Day springs to mind after beating Wrexham, Millwall and WBA.
Amir has been great the last few games, he was dropped to the bench. Ajayi looked **** in the last game, but was kept in at the expense of McNair who looked much better. Koumas keeps getting in the side ahead of Joseph, but it's obvious even from the most basic of stats that when Joseph plays our results are miles better as he's a much better foil for McBurnie out wide. Koumas has ability, pace and energy but he doesn't apply it as consistently as Joseph does and his best role is as a striker playing through the middle, which he can't do while we have McBurnie.
We play 3 centre halves and we look crap; we don't have a settled enough midfield for it to work as we can't decide between Slater, Amir, Crooks and Collyer, Crooks can't manage 90 minutes without getting knackered so we lose impetus going forward and Millar as a wing back just doesn't work.
Changes like this massively unsettle this side, we look unprepared and confused half the time and dare I say it, the players never look like they are enjoying themselves when we set up that way.
Please Serg, just stick to the formation we used to get all the way up here in the table, it's the one that serves us best. Please don't piss about with the team unless it's injury enforced.
