at the match and you may not be able to pick this up in TV but we are playing two at the back constantly, this is why we’re getting overrun on our left.
Mehmeti & McCleary playing very narrow as well. Obita almost playing as a left winger.
this shape is causing alL the issues and not necessarily the personnel
Why change the shape from a winning side. Basically a diamond in midfield, far too narrow and completely exposed down the sides. Obita at left back seems to be playing like a left winger and not even trying to defend. Wheeler struggling at right back against a better side. And basically two defenders on the pitch, only one a regular centre back. We’re all over the shop defensively. Completely wrong tactics today.
Going forward we have a lot of talent and causing them problems. We could’ve easily had a couple of goals ourselves but unless things change shape wise they’ll get more goals.
Defence looks very doddery today. That Bradley kid taking the piss out of Obita. We have had chances though. Wing shot and Mehmeti header should have gone in. Early goal for us second half would be interesting. Dickinson doesn’t look ready for this just yet.
Not sure we changed shape that much but attacking fullbacks are great as supplement attackers when you're all over a team, against better opposition away like this they need to pay way more attention to their positioning and where not to give the ball away. Gape and Scowen struggling to plug gaps too, passing generally a bit average doesn't help.
We look like we could smash and grab aerially but need to take the chances when they come and cover up a lot better for inevitable breaks.
Not sure who is playing defensively down our left side. Obita keeps going walkabouts and Wing isn’t firing either. Midfield not winning tackles as they usually do. Bolton better side than Burton but we should be 2-0 down to them
Cracking game and we're more than playing are part, but we could end up being hammered if we don't stop giving the ball away so cheaply and don't tighten up defensively. Obita seems to be playing too far forward, that 2nd goal was far too easy.
We look great going forwards, just need to take our chances.

Anyone have the foggiest idea why Vokes didn’t shoot?
Bill Turnbull back on Classic FM after 9 months out. Fantastic news!
Can’t argue with 17 goals but……
Liking our attacking options if the passing isn't maybe working so well, lots of danger when we do get it forward.
Absolutely.
Obita looks seriously rusty
Midfield is not functioning at all well so far - misplaced passes, lack of communication etc.

And Gape, Wing
Impressed with Bolton. They could well be contenders on this early evidence.
Missing Horgan?
😬
Pretty good game this, riding our luck at times but getting good chances too.
Opened up like the Red Sea
And Wheeler gifts them a second.
Oh dear
Really well taken but a dreadful goal to concede. We are really not at the races today.
And just to prove a point, where the left center back should be, they walk through on goal and go two up…
what on earth are the management thinking with this set up. Go back to a flat back four or at least play three across the back.
Some really sloppy passing and slow reactions.
Anis!
The first came from Wheeler passing to one of their players too.
Wing's passing is really going to add something to offer play this season
Bit hesitant by Vokes? Would have buried that if he was in the centre
We will struggle against the better teams without another quality CB and playing two of our defenders out of position

Burton confirmed as pretty dreadful btw
