I agree with an earlier post about Laurent, for me it's proving pointless as we are still conceding, and it is helping to stifle our attacks where we need more bodies. Foster or any of the other 2 are always going to have the same issue playing more of a midfield role tracking back too much.
I think we have some over reactions here, massively. We have had a really tough start, some slightly easier games to come and then we can have a balanced view, but not yet.
At last a sensible post

The formation for me anyway isnt working and like it or not laurent is out of his depth at this level ( doesnt mean hes a bad footballer ).

The system ( Parker’s doing ) isnt working and we have two big strong boys

lesley and florentine ( they need to play together )

We need a win tbh but we ain’t getting it setting up like we have been doing we’re playing defensive with a 5 and still conceding goals

On Esteve a lot of way out of order comments on here - he had a shocker at city and it’s affected him but he’ll come back

I seem to remember Michael Richard’s quoted as I did Esteve is a rolls Royce and has a massive future in the game. ( he needs to shake of the bad performance ).

I also think Parker should pick his strongest 10 outfield players in a formation that gives us a chance to win games - you don’t need to be Einstein to work out if you don’t threaten the oppositions goal / shoot you won’t win many games
