We may be a 'possession team' but it's all possession between our own defenders and Reed in our own final third. Our attacking outlet is mostly long balls forward. There's no play through midfield - our midfield somehow manages to neither shield the defence or build attacking play. It's... not good.

I'm here and we are clueless. Makings of a good side but something is fucked.

I would take off Gladwin at half time.

Looks like playing with a back 4 hasn’t done us any favours either. The lad from Burton is getting roasted. What’s the point of playing FBs if they’re not up to it.
What's the point in signing players that aren't up to it! |

The problem is you can’t fashion a working defence if the players just aren’t up to it.
It’s painful to watch.
Yeah. To do anything this season we'll need to sack three or four players off Di Canio style with Commazi, Lanzano, etc. and sadly we just don't have the budget to. Most of the defenders we've signed look shit and simply well below the level we need, although having said that SL has to take a lot of the flack as well as they look badly disorganised and he was our defensive coach last season. |

Last season we were a possession team so far this season our stats say different. |

Irony!  but then he didn't "score" so the statement still stands! |

Moncur is probably the best player on the pitch.
Just imagine if he lost a stone |

Moncur, Pratley and Mizouni are totally controlling the midfield.

I’m here and think Gladwin has been one of our better players.

having streaming problems, giving up, but from what I can see things looked pretty average.
at least McKirdy scored and is off the mark

Yeah, I wouldn't call us a possession team this season.
Lindsey might want us to be, but he probably wants us not to have an absolute abortion of a back line either so its long list of things he wants that he isn't providing.
