Drop Ejaria and play Rinomhota. The new lad looks far too lightweight.
I was very dubious about the signing of Araruna. Looks like another in a long line of poor, ill thought out signings.
You think anyone thought about it?

JimmytheJim We have some quality players but we can all see painfully clearly how badly imbalanced this squad is.
We don't have any direct attacking players, we lack pace, and we lack power.
In the right team, someone like Ejaria could be Championship player of the season. At the moment, though, he and the other creative players are being allowed to play pedestrian football, producing minimal chances and rarely threatening the opposition goal.
Recruitment in the summer is crucial. Either we bring in quality wingers who can hurt the opposition, or we face another season of slow, predictable build-up play, with flashes of brilliance and long periods of gloom.

ZipElm Park Kid Extremely disappointing to see us go backwards. Thought we played some decent football against Leeds and was expecting tonight to be a fairly straight-forward win. Though Miazga and Obita being out weakens us quiet a bit.
I still think Miazga is our best centre back. We need him in for Morrison. Miazga and Moore played well in a back four last season.
Rinomhota needs to start alongside Pelé and Swift. Ejaria on the bench.

This duo also concede plenty of goals, they're not a great partnership themselves

In fairness they haven’t played together as a partnership this season but our record with them at the back last season was decent. I really don’t rate Morrison. He makes me nervous every time he’s on the ball.

Reading 1-3 Sheffield Wednesday
Hull 2-1 Reading
Both this season
As a duo, they're too inconsistent. Morrison is the best defender of the three but for some reason, we ask him to distribute from the back when he clearly looks uncomfortable on the ball

Ok fair point about those two games. I was on holiday for the Wednesday game!
I rate Miazga. I feel we are more solid with him in the side.

The problems are deeper than the CB's I think. Defending starts from the front and when you put no pressure on their players, they can move it around with ease, get into crossing positions and constantly put our defence into trouble
Compare the pressing of our players and theirs. They were like a swarm of bees around Pele, Yiadom etc when they had the ball. Whenever the opponents have the ball, ours just walk around the pitch aimlessly. We're so slow and lethargic on and off the ball

Oh fully agreed. We see the opposition close us down time and time again, Yet we don’t do the same, It’s totally unacceptable. Yet it’s so bloody obvious. So why are we not doing the same? We have been very poor for five of the past six seasons. It’s difficult to see it changing.

What is the point of these virgins?
Starting off spouting about getting behind the team and creating a positive atmosphere.
Well they've now successfully destroyed the east stand and in turn home crowds and created a toxic atmosphere.
Congratulations you tossers.

bloody Volvo driver I think you missed the word “away” out when you talk about Bowen’s results records in such a positive manner.
Couldn’t agree more about C1871 not covering themselves in glory last night, although it was a tough ask after our worst home performance in 2 years since Ipswich.
However, Bowen’s home record is absolute abysmal, and let’s face facts, on the whole, it’s your home results that make or your break you. Past 3 months, P11 W2 D4 L5, that’s is poor by anyone’s standards and is starting to be Reflected in dwindling gates / interest etc. He simply has to find a formula to turn our home record round.

He has totally failed to find a way of playing at home but he has to be judged on his entire record
