Massive chance missed to pull clear of the bottom 3 today, and I think it’ll become even more obvious in the next couple of weeks. Why not go with 2 strikers and take the game to them from the start?? Give the players a clear message of intent, at home, after a good away win, against a team that’s below us in the league. Instead he goes with 1 up front! Madness! The set up today would make more sense next weekend when we’re playing a team who will probably have more of the ball than us. We’re not setting up to dominate games, against teams we should be beating, and that may well cost us come the end of the season.

I don't think we were that bad today all told. They're scrapping for their lives and were better than I thought they'd be.
We did play into their hands a lot though by going direct when we didn't need to. We were fashioning good chances with the ball on the grass.
I actually think the subs curtailed us a bit bar the Haks one for Baker which helped drive us forward.
Really don't understand taking Burger off late on, was he injured? Just handed them the impetus for the final 5-10 minutes.

Exactly this “wrong set up”… Huddersfield could/should have put us out of sight first half. We were much better 2nd half but the manager nearly cost us again today.

If you think we only attacked with just one player today then you need to open your eyes.

Anyone who has watched Leris should know he shouldn’t be starting home games.
Yet we had so many fans wanting it and then the manager actually did it.
It’s so obvious how awful he is for home games yet he seems to have hoodwinked people?
I don’t get it.

We started well for about 15 minutes then got found out and never got really going again. Second half was slightly better with some good play but bad decision making.

Yeah, more first half, started well then played into their hands by going long time after time. Second half started to play through them a lot more along the ground, but even towards the end we reverted back to direct play. We scored after the first sub. Subsequent ones ultimately failed to get a winner (which as attackers is their purpose). I think we'd have been better off keeping things as they were for a little longer after the equaliser.

Agree about the forward line! Baffling that he’d start with 1 striker at home against a side we should be looking to take all 3 points from! I understand that sometimes you have to be pragmatic but this wasn’t the time!

Look at how much better we were playing a formation to suit the players we have … and our best player in his best position. 4-2-3-1 please

Haks deserves to start. As does Mmaee he was atrocious. Can’t beat a man, is indecisive in his final ball.

No point playing two strikers if we don’t have a decent one at the club.

Can’t see how you get ‘attacked with one player’ from my post..

It was the wrong set up on Friday as well
We've taken 4 points this weekend.
Been a big weekend for us points wise.

At the end of the day, we're absolutely shit, that's the bottom line, this group of players are the worst bunch I've seen in a LONG TIME!!! They seem to just be getting away with it with one or two good results in about 20 games. Today we made Huddersfield in the first half look like real Madrid, embarrassing, and at the end holding on for a draw, were a league 1 side with this lot. Schumacher doesn't seem to want to play a winning team, STOP MAKING 3+ CHANGES EVERY GAME!!!! Clueless.

It shows the lack of brains in the bloke where he rocks up again with a midfield of Baker alongside Burger and Laurent just ahead, with JunHo on the wing.
Can't run, won't run (aka Laurent and Baker) have proven beyond doubt now that they let a road right through the middle of the pitch every time they play and leave poor Burger on his own doing the job of three.

Just back and I have to say the manager got the front 3 totally wrong today from the start.Ennis was a dog chasing a balloon,Leris was an absolute embarrassment in his antics of trying to con the ref and Juhno was hardly in the game until he was moved 2nd half.Whether Maaee was meant to start I don’t know after his late arrival but we certainly looked better when he came on for sure

Fairly similar to the early Junho days where people just weren't sharp enough around him and so his attempts didnt quite look right. Haks has also missed a lot of minutes so could still be feeling his way into the game. For me hes working hard, moves off the ball VERY well, he just needs games. Would be tempted to buy him in the summer if he's available at the right price.

Haks deserves to start. As does Mmaee Problem with Haks is he’s decent enough until he gets anywhere near the box. Then his shot, pass or cross is nearly always shit.
