He needs to explain it to the rest of them as well then, as none of them seem to grasp it latelyThe coaching team were explaining to Davis what those white things are at either end of the pitch.

I don’t think he has looked comfortable on the ball last few games. In fact I think he has been generally crap. Not holding onto the ball when we need, first touch poor and getting bullied and spending alot of the time bouncing off a defender and falling over.
I was being my usual “boring” sarcastic self. I don’t blame you for not seeing what we “anti-dean” guys see as all you keep looking at is the table and ignoring other problems .
Nobody to give the ball to since Jack injured, completely isolated.I don’t think he has looked comfortable on the ball last few games. In fact I think he has been generally crap.

At least we are getting a very clear picture of what's needed over the summer window .
A RB to cover for Cash
Traore should be a bit part player only
Trezeguet can go
Barkley can go
Ghazi is a back up player at best
We need another top class striker
I agree with this Langoe66. We have made progress this season - probably more than any of us could have honestly expected. We are not world beaters yet, but we are showing the green shoots of growth - perhaps not fast enough for some but they are there if you look for them. Watkins continues to develop and he will be a real threat next season and Konsa looks awesome - both from the Championship and both signed twice by Smith. He deserves credit for that at least. Sanson looked quite assured until he took a knock, Targett is getting better all the time and Cash was a steal for what we paid. Marv and Luis are getting there and it will be make or break for them in the summer I suspect. Emi - nothing else needs saying as he is just Emi. A few that were with us in the Championship may move on - Hourihane already gone, AEG perhaps and McGinn is under scrutiny. Youngsters coming into the squad and getting minutes or matchday experience and this is good for the future. The owners will invest again in the summer and we will strengthen for sure and it seems like other clubs - Wolves for example - are going to see a squeeze on spending.Agree performances have deteriorated but prefer to enjoy the fact that we’ve got the points in the bag rather than worrying about those we’ve lost. Give me this season to last in terms of points and overall performances any day of the week. The season as I’ve said before will be judged on 38 games, not the last 10/11.Mid table finish this season = clear progress despite the peaks and trough. Another point tonight towards achieving that.
I must do better obviously...I'm clearly far too supportive.... but to say all I do ( and presumably others who dare to be a bit more positive)) is 'look at the table' is factually incorrect.
Correct, texted the same to my brother.72 mins the commenter said Davis was going to come on for trez 77 mins he comes on wtf takes so long
Well, watching MOTD last night, I did happen to notice Leicester City. They played a 4-4-2 with Ieanacho and Vardy up front. Now I do seem to note, Leicester aren't doing so badly.
We need more quality in midfield at the end of the day, a better right winger, and quality to come to replace Barkley. Another centre mid would also be a good idea as well.At least we are getting a very clear picture of what's needed over the summer window .

It did take an age but from memory we were defending a few set pieces at the time so I guess they didn’t want to disrupt our concentration72 mins the commenter said Davis was going to come on for trez 77 mins he comes on wtf takes so long
The commentator said they'd gone to a 4 as they pressed for the equaliser, which they duly got and then the late winnerThey played 3 at the back and 2 wing backs so definitely wasn’t 442. I’m not against throwing another striker on if we are chasing the game and Sheffield United away was the perfect time to do so. But doing it yesterday would have played into Wolves hands.
They were on top but couldn’t break us down from open play. Putting 2 up front would have weakened us defensively. The poor form of the forward players on the pitch (except Watkins) is the bigger problem for us

I know its blindingly obvious, but in a lot of our recent games Ollie is out wide left cutting in, or crossing for others.
He scores his goals in and around the six yard box.
Cant blame the Jack factor on the lack of supply either because the last half a dozen games Jack played he was very heavily marked and fairly ineffectual.
Even in those game when Jack was playing he was hitting Ollie with wide left balls played from the middle of our half of the pitch, that find Ollie isolated and having to hold up.
Badly need someone wide to free Ollie up to get into those positions between the opposition central defenders where he is most dangerous, when arriving late into the box he is difficult to mark.
Others have made the point we havent, in our recent games got sufficient bodies in the box, and to a certain extent its a numbers game in there, if you have got the numbers the knockdowns, goalkeeper errors, defensive errors have statistically a bigger chance of finding one of our players.
As it is we usually have two at most, fruequently a defender.
Dont fancy us a Newcastle if we cant come up with a different approach on Friday.
I didn’t spot that, but they were on top at that point anyway. If we had moved into that shape yesterday I think Wolves would have cut right through us. Depends on the opposition and game situation. Every time we go on a bad run of results some start shouting we should be playing 442. Our midfield isn’t right for that IMO
