i said to another cafc fan today... back in the day, curbs would go 4-5-1 and grind out a point. then move on from there. he knew how to turn this sort of run around.

i feel bowyer needs to talk to someone more experienced and try the same. you'd hope that with so many injuries, defensive drills are the ones they practise most. if you dont conceed, you cant lose!

Hasn’t that been part of the problem though ? Bowyer has consistently played 5 at the back, but when did we last keep a clean sheet? That formation also relies on full backs who can play wing back, bomb forward and put in good crosses ...hardly the strong point of Solly or Purrington.

that's what the drills would be for. back to basics mentality. some of our defending, passing etc has been shocking lately.
 
Barnsley home to Preston tomorrow night.

We could easily go into the Fulham game only 1 point clear of the bottom 3, oh joy.
 
Woodrow and Bauer to both score 33/1 (£10 staked)
Bauer to score, Barnsley to win and over 3.5 goals 80/1 (having £10 on that too)

Smart boost
Barnsley, Middlesboro and Peterborough all to win 12/1 (£25 free bet used).
