We played well for good chunks of the game, we kept our shape, fewer heads dropped than of late - they were simply better than us and tbh to only lose 1-0 wasn't bad on the day. Most encouraging stat for me (I'm dead serious given where we are in the table) was 14 fouls to their 11. Keep clogging boys, we're going to need it.
7 from me for Mick. We'll win games playing worse than today.

There’s no way Shawcross and McClean should have been starting today at the very least.
We were lucky it was 1-0.

Went safe and stuck with a side that was clearly knackered when we needed to use pace and counter-attack to have a chance.
Doesn't seem to want to change from the (very meh) 433, no matter what happens.
Hope he keeps us up and we move on in summer.

Bereft of ideas , initiative utterly clueless and naive , if there was a score below zero he deserved it , wank selection , uncessary key player risk , naive or non existent tactics a novice learning on the job being schooled by journeymen and novices every time we leave home

4. Set out ultra cautious and as per normal we weren’t capable of keeping the opposition out. When it came to rescuing the game as per normal we didn’t have the firepower. Totally predictable.

A generous 5.
433 at all costs has lost us so many points already. Isolated forwards having balls whacked at their necks just isn't working. It's nothing short of negative, hoofball nonsense. I dread to think where we'd be had Sheff Wed not scored their second against us, as the manager thought the answer in that particular game was Campbell up front on his own before the second goal panicked him onto going 442!
This really isn't O'Neill's mess and it isn't his fault we are where we are but he's treading a fine line between taking us down a worse path and taking us on a path to redemption.

An absolute maximum of 5 from me, mainly for second half effort. However the persistence in starting one up top and continually starting Ince and Ward means he loses 5 automatically. And I'm not interested in the comment that he hasn't got any other options, cos it isn't true. Even Diouf is a better option than Ince and a house brick a better option than Ward.

Don't bother to answer.

Why is anyone even slightly impressed with this shite? Our strategy looks to be dependent upon a scrappy fight at the end with Shawcross up front. How about setting up to try and outplay a team?

6 from me, Ward was getting rinsed by Knockeart, to take him off for Bruno meant we were immediately better.
Played better 2nd half too

Clueless. 1 up front simply does not work. Persevering with Ince is absolutely criminal, When was his last goal??
Ok he’s inhereted a load of old shit, but you play to your strengths and he simply isn’t doing that at the minute.

Need to start with Campbell alongside Gregory Ince on the bench Shawross will probably miss next game ? Lindsay? Bruno?

Gregory to run the channels as he has been doing and leave a striker in the box to keep defenders on there toes. 4-4-2 is the only way to go and drop ince and bring Edwards in at right midfield to put balls in for two strikers. That would be a lot stronger than the shit we currently have

7 apart from the offside goal we would have come away with a result, on the back foot most of the 1st half but stepped up a gear 2nd and were unlucky. Gouranga.

It's a 10 when we win no matter how poorly we play and a 0 when we lose. We have managed to lose more than any other team in the division and need to find a way to get draws out of these type of games instead of being a soft touch - all about results now and showing a bit of steel

I think the wild Bipolar approach that some have is partly the cause of the toxic atmosphere on here. It's never quite that dark or quite that bright. Reality is somewhere inbetween.

Tired team....Jesus wept Have not seen the game, but I imagine that’s what people who were there mean by “knackered”? Did you expect a team that’s only out of the relegation spots on GD to go away to the 5th placed team and walk away with a win?
