I can remember some people saying a few of us were being hysterical when we said our season could be over with his injury.
He was completely carrying us.

Yes to go out and actually put a team out to win games.
The mindset from the manager is 100% the biggest thing at the minute holding us back.

MON should be setting us up (if he intends on relying on Vokes) with (as bad as the next one seems!) Ince on the left, Verlinden on the right, playing a solid 4411 formation |

He doesn’t have to pick Vokes, he chooses to. |

He doesn’t have to pick Vokes, he chooses to. exactly, and if he chooses to, he must also choose a team which is capable of putting in 10-15 crosses per game (excluding set pieces) for me, if he persists with Fat Sam, the lineup must be.... Bursik Collins Souttar Batth/Chester Clucas Verlinden Mikel/Allen/(is it Porter or Varían?) Cousins (MUST START!) Powell - (MUST START) Ince/Matondo Vokes |

To play Vokes and have no one on the pitch that can cross is criminal. |

Why are people still mentioning Clucas as a left back option? He played there today and was utterly wank. Forget it.

He was even worse than McClean out there today and that’s saying some thing. |

It isn’t a worse option. Him or Smith at left back is a much better option than the negative trudgery we’ve witnessed this last month. 3 at the back has to stop. |

I suggested as much myself. And yeah I can’t disagree. |

But in a flat, as a wing back in a 5 Clucas in 10x the wing/full back McClean is. McClean is an old fashioned, chalk on the boots winger(who gets rattled easily as shown by his shot/cross today) and should be used as such. |

Of that I have no doubt!  I can’t think of anyone in the last 15 years we’ve had who as bad at crossing. Some don’t try but McClean attempts so many and there’s so little quality. But he’s being hung out to dry at LWB and is really bad at it. It has to stop. |

Last season without Campbell and Powell we were a league 1 team. We've added Souttar and Collins to those two, they are our best players.
Without Campbell though, we're a lower end team in this league.
There's so much shit in this squad. The only way i can fault the manager is the three center backs... Playing Souttar and Batth on the ends of a back 3 is really stupid. Otherwise there isn't much he can do

Until a year ago he was the better prospect of him and Campbell now all of a sudden he’s nothing? Nah. He has gone for the negative option when he didn’t need to. Like today. A free hit. No one is expecting us to beat Leicester but we go out and don’t even try to attack to them. It’s pathetic and all down to tactics. |

Allow me to take another touch and play well I’m buggered (my pace and strength saves me on the terrible first touch, second is where skill comes in) Macca baffles me at times(as much as I do love him) some of his crossing (30% of the time) is outstanding , the other 70, not only wastes chances, but usually goes for a throw or a goal kick. At wing back, way to much is expected of him. |

Today was 2% tactics and 98% because we were simply up against far superior opponents. Any formation with any of our current fit personnel would have made very little difference. |

It was mainly tactics. We did not have a go at them. There was absolutely no will other than to keep it tight and hope for the best. Leicester are a good side and I was never expecting us to win but have a go ffs. My Dad watched it today and he hasn’t watched us for about a year. He was shocked at how bad we were and how we weren’t willing to attack. |

There’s no system, no tactic, and no method we could have used with the players we have available that would have altered the result. |

We didn’t try to win the game in normal time. That’s not acceptable. And no I wasn’t expecting us to win but have a fucking go. It was a free hit and he still shit himself with his negativity. |

Again the set up didn’t allow for that. We didn’t go out to have the ball. We put out about the slowest team he could muster and hoped for the best. It’s pathetic. |
