Best Of

Skura at right back seemed like a no brainer to me. And Leahy as a left sided central defender, if that’s what he was, also seemed odd. And please don’t mention the set pieces. We’re not very good at them lately.

totally agree , really don't get the hype ...comes across as a proper nice guy but it should be on the pitch where they make a difference, only top attribute is that he very good from FKs 20 yards out from goal

Bakinson strikes the underside of the bar. The ball rebounds back towards the penalty spot. Hanlan isn’t perceiving the rebound. He’s stood side on, 90 degree angle, studs about 10 inches deep into the turf. No striker instinct. Sums up why he’s averaging a goal in every nine games.

I thought his overall game was okay when he came on - and I understand Kone can’t play 500 minutes in thirteen days - but we’ve got to find a way to continue threatening once Kone comes off.

I agree that it was a daft thing to do. The management team have done superbly to get us where we are in the league, but they aren't immune to taking the blame when an error is made.

I'm glad it was that rather than not trusting the new loanee's pace in a back 4!

But it seems utterly daft to switch to a system we've not used all season in one of the toughest games because we're without arguably the easiest position to slot someone into for one game!

Skura, Fred or maybe even a Butcher could easily have slotted in for one game.

For me it was a tactical error. I would certainly not blame the players for the performance last night. Matt knows a lot more about football tactics than me but it was very clear that we had square pegs in round holes.

Hopefully it is the last time we use that five at the back tactic.

Nailed it. To read comments on other social media (thankfully not the gasroom) you’d think we’d dropped into the relegation places!

@Major Butcher for me is the shock of the season. Before a ball was kicked in August I'd have expected him to be the first name on the teamsheet, now he's glued to the bench with no hope of getting any minutes in the league. The camera cut to the Wycombe bench on about 80 minutes yesterday and Butcher was slouched back looking completely bored. You don't have to read too far between the lines to conclude that he's had a falling out with Bloomfield. The Butcher we saw in the second half of last season would certainly have a place in that midfield last night otherwise.

Very interesting to see if he plays on Friday...

Yep, it's a strange comparison in all ways.

Will be delighted if he emerges to become a premier league player, but I've seen people suggest he's already a "complete" championship striker!

Toney was bought by a premier league club at 19. He was on a different level from Kone.

We mustn't overrate players., but instead be very happy Kone has improved immensely from when he arrived, very raw, not great at holding it, controlling it, simple passes etc, to what he's become now.
