Rea Ding felt bad for the club today as they put i real good show on for all the extra fans, the game however was an utter disgrace. I hate booing our team but today it was justified. Cant see anyone else coming in better than Stam but this puts real pressure on him.

Schmeichel the dog Liam Moore's reaction at the end was interesting. Looks like he could be off and who could blame him after that shambles.

RoyalBlue I just don't get the criticism of Edwards for today's performance. He was one of the few players who looked like he cared and was constantly trying to drive us forwards. I thought his overall play was tidy too and was staggered when Stam hoiked him off first.

You can't field a playmaker like Kelly and ask him to cover at right back and stand between the centrebacks and watch them push forward.

bobby1413 It's even worse as we're suppposed to be an up and coming "city" with some decent population coming out.

Snowflake RoyalHoundSnowflake Royal The players were abject, but the set up was just as bad.

The whole shape is wrong. We're relying on our centrebacks to be the creative outlet. It's stupid. Our fullbacks push high up the pitch and our midfield either drops into defence or stands next to the striker. There's no movement. The players run away from the ball, there's almost never two quick passes forward in a row because each player is isolated and only those behind are in space.
The desire for how to play is right, but the set up, execution and application is terrible.
I think you’re right to an extent, but Swift coming on improved this a lot. Actually picked the ball up between the lines
We just played abysmally to be honest. Couldn’t string two passes together and let in two of the softest goals imaginable
Kelly is no playmaker at the moment imo. He is a big part of the problem - so negative
With no movement and being totally bypassed Kelly will never be good. Yes he was poor today despite that though.
Swift was a terrible sub for me, particularly for Edwards. Yes, he gave us a bit more quality on the ball and broke the lines a little. But with such abject play all around him it was never going to be very effective. We needed someone who could grab the game by the scruff and drive forward.
He tends to hold on to the ball and get over intricate. And he's soft as shite defensively. I don't remember who was on the bench, but anyone would have improved on the terrible displays from Aluko and Barrow. Anyone would have been less of a passenger than Kelly.
Bod should have been on 20 minutes earlier. And he has to start next game.
We need a fullback. We need Bacuna in midfield, he'll drive forward. We need midfielders to play in midfield, defenders to defend and support the midfield's creativeness, not be the 'creative' ones
