This. And I don’t see our wingers offering much against low block teams. Said before the season started that teams are gonna start playing differently against us, and most of all be more aware of us and how we play. Said that we need more technical ability and try to evolve more towards a balance between high intensity and technical/possession based team to get to the next level. All the injuries and so on definitely hasn’t helped obviously. I think Barnes will offer us good quality in some games but he isn’t a player I would have signed as I don’t see him good enough in general play or against team that sit deeper. Especially with Gordon here already.

I dont see too many saying too much? Howe has my support 100%. I do think some things could have been done differently though.

I like Gordon and I think he has done very well at times. Having said that I still think he’s slightly limited as a player. The reason he is performing this badly now is mostly down to tiredness though.

If we do make signings in January I feel like it will take too long before we get them in. Usually don’t manage to do deals quickly.

Subs too late!!

Embarrassing!

What the fuck!!!!!! Abysmal!!

Why is burn still on…

He is poor. Not that Gordon has offered much either lately.

If fit and rested since he didn’t play last game I’m pretty sure who I would have started.

I assume Tino ain’t fit? Otherwise it makes you wonder why we start Burn against them as they are quick on the counter.

Totally agree. Poor as piss!!

Giving them all the space in the world there Burn!!

Not very good positioning from Burn either

Gordon could have used Isaks composure for that pass. That block was always coming. Great from Miley.

Miley and Bruno and Isak have been very good. Gordon and Miggy not offering much.

Longstaff going down again ffs!

Howe looks 10 years older today.

The attitude is astonishing. And I support Eddie 100% even if I think he has done some things wrong even though also unlucky.

You are absolutely spot on. This is very likely to have happened. Having said that it might have been the best for the team and club no matter what fans say. Probably would have been the right thing to do. Whether people like it or not.

Would it have been better to rest a few players no matter how much it might have weakened us in a couple of games? I think so. At least it would have meant that these players would be more fresh long term and able to compete close to their ability. Fatique affects us and the players no doubt, but it’s more of a mentality thing imo.

3-0

IF there’s any chance of bringing a couple of quality players in then we must do it. Not only to strengthen but it would also mean a lot in general and lift the moral and belief amongst the current players and squad. A couple of players would be a breath of fresh air and it would lift the spirits up. This combined with some players coming back (hopefully) could kick start our season. Might get worse before it gets better but it wouldn’t take a lot to turn the tide and hit some positive momentum and kick on. It’s times like these where the strong ones and the winners start showing real leadership and will. Can blame fatique all we want, but it’s at least 50% of mentality. I refuse to write this season off or using tiredness as a too big of an excuse. We and will turn this around. But the fans and the players and staff have to do it together.

It’s more of a mentality thing/problem than fatique.
