Not getting all the criticism of Panda, he kicked the ball half way up the pitch but it's still his fault the opposition can waltz down past all the defenders and score.
Watch any EFL highlights show and a whole load of the goals scored could just as easily be put down to keeper errors.
Then there's all the misses at the other end that are just passed of as one of those things. All they have to do is kick or head the ball into a hole 24 x 8 ft.
 
Honestly? Draw.

I hate to say it but I think that these weaker teams just send us into a weird state of laziness where we just assume we'll win.

If we can fill in for Coyle with Drameh and have McNair on the left (or vice versa), Joseph in for Koumas and Slater and Amir from the start, we've got a very good chance.

If we piss about with three at the back, Millar as a wing back, Koumas walking about up front and a different midfield every twenty minutes, Wednesday will smell blood. Just thank Millwall that Barry Bannan is no longer there.
 
Not at Wrexham.

We match up well against Wrexham regardless. We match up poorly against Bristol City and similarly, he started there and we still lost. In the vast majority of other games though we look substantially better with him in the XI.
 
Why not Famawo at left back, comes on occasionally plays there and does OK gets dropped, doesn't even get on as a sub.
This might be hard for you to believe but he’s injured for five weeks. I know, I couldn’t believe it myself when Sergej said it. Almost fell out of my chair. He’s never injured, that lad.
 
This really is a must-win game now.

Concerning the full back positions, I seem to remember McNair has played at RB, so could he play there with Drameh on the left?

Slater and Amir have worked well in midfield of late. I would try to keep that combination with Crooks.

Millar Olly Belloumi or Joffy on the right.

It will be interesting to see what the gaffer comes up with.
 
Fills me with dread these games, when all the expectation is on us, is it a mental thing ? Don't know but we are less then effective when its down to us to do the running, can't for the life of me understand why Serj keeps benching Joseph, he adds the energy up front that others profit off. Start fast, and get at em, or pay the price.

4231 with as much familiarity as possible please Sergei. Slater and Amir in midfield, Crooks in the 10, McBurnie upfront with Joseph or Millar left and Gelhardt or Belloumi right. Defense is whoever is fit and can play. If Hughes is out then Drameh Egan Ajayi McNair. Id maybe even consider dropping Pandur.

I dont like getting into players, squad, who should be playing and how they performed. Mainly because it's opinions and mine are often wrong. Sergei sees them in training must have a plan and reasoning for doing what he does. Joseph may do a lot of running but it's goals that count and his final decision making often let's him down. Gelhardt has goals but seems to blow hot and cold, Mcburnie started of so well we expect that every game and may not always be fully fit.
I don't get the need to always start swapping and changing things at the end, why do we need to use all the allowed subs,
