Interesting match...this is crap, though. Shouldn't be having these kind of troubles.

Might be a blessing, like how bad the midfield were after shutdown forced the hand to get bodies in then we have time to improve the defence over the next few weeks.

What is Mina doing

Mina again, drifting forward, its us with 10 men

That's where you're wrong. I suspect right now that it's a fairly popular opinion or at least if you've been watching this game.

Gomes doesn’t run and do enough. Just cannot lose the ball like that in cm.

Considering they're down to 10 men, it's ridiculous how much space their players have on the pitch.

All credit to the baggies, theyre not giving up!

Those little pass and runs in the midfield have been really effective against us.

 

[PITA]

Allan looking very sluggish.

 

[bluelife]

They are getting so much space!!!!!

 

[Parker]

Holgate is good but needs to prove it over a longer period. He's had one good season. So did Tom Davies. But yes, I start Holgate over Mina every day. So yup, your post is spot on... Holgate and Keane the starters. But you need more than two good centre halves be competitive in this league, Mina is a liability and Branthwaite is very young.

The word id use with Mina is patchy. There are some games where he looks brilliant and others, like today, where he's awful. I see him as a stop gap until Branthwaite and/or Gibson take his place.

In the greater scheme of things, we need to be better than this!

 

[Blue Shoes]

Why on earth are we so open?

 

[brieverton]

For gods sake being sliced apart by 10 men. Carlo better lose his temper here soon enough. This is appalling.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

what is that

 

[billybeeru]

I feel like we need to switch the formation or something. They should not be getting these open counterattacks.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Martinez style defence this. Get Allan and Doucs dropped back Asap
