This can't come as a great surprise to anyone? It's not a problem as long as all parties are still getting on.

Yesterday was also very clear we need to sign Morley (or a capable replacement). As much as i love Josh, he isn't going to get the ball in difficult areas at the back under pressure and pass through the lines, and thats not what we want from him anyway, he has his own tough job to do. Bakinson looks terrified of the ball and often went hiding yesterday like he didn't want to receive it. And when he did it ended up being a heart in mouth moment. Cameron had to keep coming deep to get on the ball and try and make something happen but then you lost his presence further forward. Heard yesterday that the club went half with Morley on a flat in Windsor for his season long loan. His girlfriend and young daughter are still living down here hopeful of a move to be done. Aaron wants the move, down to the clubs to agree something. Please make it happen.

I'm pleased to hear that the move to 3 at the back was caused by injuries. If we never see that system again it'll be far too soon.

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!
