Absolutely all on the manager.
The players tried but the tactics and formation were dreadful.

It’s a shit formation when the players suit it. Never mind when you’re trying to play square pegs in round holes ie Powell, Fox etc.
I’m a big supporter of O’Neill but he needs to change the formation to suit the players 4-2-3-1

Only Brown in the first half can come out of that game with any credit.

Mikel wasn't dreadful at all. Just had no options

sadly we gifted them 2 goals.
Brown did well, Fletcher did well. I thought Mikel was decent enough. The rest weren't great and we never looked comfortable at the back.

Only Brown in the first half can come out of that game with any credit. Coc he ran around a lot? What exactly did he do? I was very disappointed in him. Great chance outside the box ballooned over the cross bar is about all I can remember. Thought Campbell looked a class above but doesn't put himself about enough. |

Mikkel has done nothing wrong. Don't know why he is being singled out.
Terrible tactics, poor way to approach a home game

Volkes, Fox, Chester...what formation would make them look even half decent? But we know Vokes and Chester are shite. Why are they starting? I wouldn’t have started them, would you? We know Fox isn’t a wing back. Asking him to play as one is ludicrous. |

Conceding on 47 and 89mins an obvious cause for concern too, aside from all the other points. Suggests an obvious switching off towards the end of each half, or tiring coz we're not fit enough perhaps?!

First half he was absolutely shite they ran straight through him, second half he was a bit better but if people think he's the answer then fuck knows what the question is. If young thompson put in that performance today he would be getting slaughtered on here. |

Powell and Campbell have struggled to get going so far this season.
I really don't 'get' Clucas as a footballer. I'm sure it's me, but if he isn't scoring goals he doesn't seem to contribute much.

Mikel wasn't dreadful at all. Just had no options Not as effective as last week but that was because they pressed us quickly so we resorted to panic mode. Put some poor passes in again but honestly what do we expect when everybody goes missing. Last week he looked good picking up the second ball. This week we didn't put in any challenges so there were no second ball and we were too busy passing back to look for him in little pockets of space |

Fox is no wing back.
Batth was poor.
Chester was poor by his own awful standards.
The midfield was totally anonymous.
Everything that worked on Thursday was replaced for older and slower.
MON got it very wrong today.

Great chance outside the box ballooned over the cross bar is about all I can remember. Thought Campbell looked a class above but doesn't put himself about enough. A great chance? It was a half chance at best. He was the only player able to keep hold of the ball in the first half. He wasn’t amazing by any means but I thought he did well. |

Fox, Powell and Mikel, truly dreadful They were not the worst by any means. I'd start with Bahht and Chester, then add Clucas whose sloppy back pass in the first ten minutes could have resulted in a goal if Davies hadn't dealt with it. That set the tone and we started panicking in possession. I'd expect better leasership from my captain. Why Fox gets picked out I have no idea. The only defender I thought put in a semi decent performance was BMI. In the first half only Davies came out with any credit, second half Fletcher was better than Vokes but didn't actually do anything, Mikel was better but apart from that I'm struggling. |

I don’t understand why he’s shat the bed?
How have we gone to free scoring with 4 at the back to a defensive, negative set up against arguably lesser teams?
People commended it last week as pragmatic but it was clear then it just doesn’t suit us, and if we’re being honest, is just wank.
So many players in positions that aren’t natural to them. Get back to 4 at the back please.

At least that performance warrants sticking one or more of the young lads at the back moving forwards...

They totally by passed our midfield in the first half, but there were more in our midfield than just Mikel!!! |

Some people were saying is MON the next Macari never in a million years Lou had a knack of making average players very good & playing a system that suited those players. Todays dreadful defeat is down to the manager & his tactics i see another season of struggle if we carry on like that.
