You could have the best players in the league, but if the coaches are rubbish, apart from defending tactics, it wont get you results. Except maybe the odd win at Old Trafford, the Etihad, the Emirates and Wolves!

The thing is the slow pass it about at the back crap football , seems to be running through the whole squad, they must be being told to play like this at home, which is a joke considering our home form. I was in a box in the Whitehorse and Luka, pva , guitia, Sakho etc were in the boxes either side of us, was actually surprised how interested they were in watching the match. Guitia looked pissed right off with the performance and when Hennessey tried to give them a couple of goals by playing hospital balls out from the back, he actually looked concerned for his mate.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Woods - one of the only positives from tonight' by Midlands Eagle Why would we play Woods in an unfamiliar position in his 3rd professional match rather than swapping Kelly who began his career as a rightback and has played for England in that position. That seems like a stupid mistake. I'm thinking with the fact Cahill come on to replace him at half-time, Roy didn't want to start either of the current first choice CB's but due to injuries, had to split them over a cup game rather than leave them both out entirely. So he was probably thinking it's less likely for Kelly to get injured and significantly less running to play at CB for 45 minutes than right-back for 90. I'd make a comment about the sorry state of our squad that this is the case but to be fair this is one position we generally have cover for, can't really plan for Tomkins, Dann and Sakho to all be injured, it's actually lucky we still have Kelly and Cahill.

The buck has to stop with the manager who insists on this rigid way of playing even when we’re playing fourth division opposition.

The definition of a good manager is getting the best out available resources .

We did play like we didn't want to be in this competition and I wonder if that might be part of the thinking. Edited by Pigglelet (28 Aug 2019 9.39am)

Very worrying to lose to a lower-division side like this. When possible relegation candidates do this, it is often a bad sign.
The right place at the right time |
