The main problem today was caused by going back to the Russell Martin slow possession play. Once Fellows became unavailable we lost our only forward thinking outlet that side. His replacement Fraser spent all game passing back or across the pitch. The January transfer window cant come quick enough for us to get a new goalkeeper, a right back and a centre half that can win a ball in the air

My thoughts entirely AleHouse. Play three centre backs if they deal well with balls in to the box, but ours don’t and by having three there they zonal mark rather than pick up individuals and responsibility is easily passed over! I feel that Norwich’s first goal yesterday may not have happened if Wood had felt the sole responsibility of not letting the forward get to the near post?! And of course you lose a player in midfield when playing with wingbacks and 3 centre backs. Plus of course our play becomes predictable, particularly in the second half when players tire and replacements aren’t as good!

We just simply seem unable to cope with any form of physicality or ntensity from the opposition.
The seasoned bomb squad at the back stomp n shout about but can't cut it when they are stood up to. A great worry for the end of January.!

I thought the idea of all this tippy-tappy stuff was that the opposition got tired in the second half not us. Under Tonda we are world beaters first half and relegation candidates second half.

If we are serious about promotion we need to sort the defence out.
