Looks like we were lucky to get 2 games called off.

Tactically a disaster that half.

Forget McDonald, our 1 man midfield is the biggest joke. Sale of Reed looks great business. Just a shambles in general and puts to bed any lingering thoughts Gunning deserved a shot as manager.

Reeds barely feature this season.
Where as we’ve been a lot better defensively when MacDonald has played.

Hockaday gets absolutely everything wrong. How does he keep getting the co commentator gig?

Utter wank. Starting with 3 at the back and no midfield cover was asking for trouble.

Switch hasn't helped much, front 3 largely anymore and wasted so we are light in midfield.

Yes but we’d have the option of not playing a 1 man midfield, Khan is literally the only player in the middle third of the pitch for us and is on the verge of a red.

What exactly is Jephcott good at?
We seemed to have change to shoe horn him in.
He’s been a bit shit for us really.

Having a competent central defender would certainly help us.  As would having more than one competent central midfielder.  Oh and a left back at left back would be nice and a right back who can defend.  Maybe some forward players who can move outside the width of the box.

Shambles of a team selection this one.

He's an out and out poacher really. Doesn't fit into our style at all, but think he could do well next to a target man in a more traditional 4-4-2 set up. No idea at all how he's supposed to play with Austin or Wakeling.

Our gameplan is: get the ball to Hutton and he'll do a cross, nod/volley/arse it in - goal!
So surely there's some focus on defending crosses too, given the attackers need someone to play against...

Also - we look like we've never seen a tall striker before or how we can play against them. Is this scouting or is this dude actually terrifying in real life?

I’d have brought Minturn on - can’t be worse than what’s on the park.

I would personally get Iandolo, Wakeling and Jephcott off, put on Cain, Shade and RHM.

Gunning just seems to set a team up like a basketball match, fine against 10 men but clueless against 11. Open and end to end with no organisation.
