    Maybe just a wake up call

    TC selection was strange, no target man up front, to many lightweight players away from home ( similar to Millwall ) but for me main worry is the keeper Wiedweld - and he has replaced the superb / solid Green.
    Doesn't control / command the area, defence has the jitters again, and this constant kicking to left or right, will soon cost us big time.
    Sure TC will learn, that in some games, things have to be abit more direct, certain players bought in for certain matches.

    The wake up call should have been Millwall away pal.

    Then again..are we expecting too much too soon..this is a pretty new squad/team and 6 wins 2 draws 2 losses ain't too bad going is it?

    Still a long long way to go but the way we lost to Millwall and Cardiff does concern me.

    Well - Sick as a Parrot is apt .............. but I'm not pointing any fingers at individual performances.

    Wendies next stop so hope these THREE - two of which were sat behind me (Alex Davies Head of Performance Analysis,Chris Meek First team Performance Analyst and Beñat Labaien Opposition analyst) get locked in a darkened room to sort matters out pronto as WE all knew what to expect from a Colin inspired team selection but this lot obviously did not !

    Cardiff we're heavy in the opening challenges and left their mark as expected but disrupted us well - so fair do's Colin,you tw*** !

    Onwards & upwards and lessons learnt again ....................

    Positives ? Well Boro lost too.

    Negatives ? Those Blades are creeping up & Cardiff airport ladies loo's are Defo getting a complaint from me tomorrow.

    MOT

    I don't want wiedwald to become a scapegoat anytime we lose a match, if he is at fault for the goals conceded then yes criticize him, but if he aint, and we still lose, then we should analyse the whole teams performance, not just him.

    Really, A wake up call??


    60% win ratio and we have lost 2 games where we always struggle.

    Perhaps we are getting ahead of ourselves. Plus you just can't squarely place the blame of the goals on the keeper.

    We seem to lose a game and oh my God everything is wrong. We have played the best football we have in an age. Check out some of the other results this season and like always you will find that anyone can beat any team on its day in this league.

    I am.....Cooper. Captain should know better than to make that stupid tackle whilst on a yellow, with 11 on pitch I'd have fancied us to give it a go in second half. His yellow was a stupid tackle as well.

    and Wiedwald, he is useless, proper dreadful. He's not even a good shot stopper like Silvestri was to make up for the fact he is useless at coming for crosses, and his distribution is poor. Last year Green would have kept us in that game.

    He isn't a scapegoat, he is rubbish. Even when we were keeping clean sheets people had their doubts, two games he has had a chance to put his hand up and be counted he has let us down woefully. Not one to bash keepers usually, but he is pants, possibly worse all round that Silvestri, as at least Silvestri would pull off worldie saves whilst flapping at crosses and corners.

    then youre criticizing TC for picking him, or Orta and Radrizzani for buying him, or for not keeping Green, or not playing lonergan instead of wiedwald.

    ive never been comfortable with cooper, but most of his games this season have been much improved. anyway, jansson pennington and Shaughnessy, maybe even ayling, will be vying for the 2 CB places next match

    Christ, we lose a game and anyone would think we near the bottom 3.

    I speak to a lot of supporters of other teams and all agree the Championship is probably the hardest league in England to progress from.
