LW has to break the awful run we’re on so he has to set the team up not to lose first. He has to play 4-5-1 or an alternative to this and always be compact without the ball, never get caught on the break which would be criminal if LW sets the team up right. Get the full backs to play as such not as wingbacks, not Key as an inverted wingback ( he’s not Kyle Walker). Play on the break without overcommitting players forward, which they should be practicing this week so they all know their roles in this. Stay in the game as long as we can which might give us opportunities late on. Start VIP up front and let’s see if he’s got the attitude and desire to play the lone striker role. That’s what I would do anyway but I’m not the one being paid the big bucks. I do worry about LW tactical knowledge at championship level. | | | |

I guess we have sold our allocation?
Wonderful support if we have with the football being served up by Williams. |  | | |

Believe it or not we have sold over 1800 tickets so far even though we are playing ####
Perhaps its the early ko or the train ride or maybe belief that we must be a better team than shown before the turn of the year. | | | |

Great support as ever ,can't fault the commitment pity at times it's not reciprocated by the players , hopefully that will change Sunday. | |

Pity is not a home game, that said I can't see us getting anything from the game even if it was at home TBH, we lose this and Williams will still be here, he's going nowhere anytime soon otherwise he'd have gone by now. | |

I'd play out 3 CB's and leave tymon and key as wing backs, with three CB's we should be able to cover.
hang on scrap that Darling won't be available 
Thing is we don't play 4 at the back because Key and Tymon wander off up field that's why Grimes used to drop in, I bet he'll have O'brien doing that job you watch. | |

I was there at the game that forced Jenkins out.
If we play poorly and lose I can see the fans singing Coleman out. |  |

Tymon and Key have both pushed on because that is what Wing backs are told and expected to do but doesn't work and is pointless if you persist in playing wingers, compounded when you ask both the wingbacks and wingers to stay on the touch line to provide width leaving the middle of the park an area which is is a vast wasteland devoid of our players and because of the fullbacks pushing up leaving our centrebacks to cover the equally empty flanks, Grimes then dropped back further expanding that empty midfield wasteland.
So what has Williams done asked both fullbacks to go into the midfield to cover Grimes but both of them are too inexperienced and by doing so leave the flanks further exposed.
We played 5 at the back against Norwich but that left Fulton and Franco too much to do, we insist on leaving areas of the pitch expose. If teams try to play through the middle you get players such as wingers back behind the ball to help out in the middle, if teams try to go down the flanks those wingers have to again get behind the ball, in both case the bare minimum while defending is eight players getting back behind the ball with two up top holding their defensive line back, once we have won the ball back those players playing on the flanks or in the middle can then get forward quickly to support the two to try and get in behind the opposition defence early. Does help if one of your front two is quick, the other can supply balls off the central position and both are goal scorers but that is not the case at the moment given that almost 100 percent of our attacks are down the flanks and slowly at that.
In many respects we are too rigid and cannot adapt easily pulled out of shape seeing the headless runs made by our Centreforwards to try and close down the play out from the back is pitiful to watch, we really haven't worked out how to stop teams playing out from the back and rubbed our hand as QPR got it equally totally wrong against us and yet we still persist in similar methods that don't work at times.
Midfield and fullbacks dropping back to play out from the back is part of the game but doing it while under pressure is stupid especially if the pressing team are leaving gaps elsewhere to be exposed but that is up to the goalie or man on the ball to be in a position and have time to spot. | | | |
