The pleasing thing today was in the second half we weren’t hanging on for anything, we took the game to them and kept them on the back foot. When is Bernard back? I think we need to go to 352 with Lowe, Bernard and Iofra at the back. Then bolster the midfield to make it difficult for teams to come through the middle. Play 2 up front, for me Cads and Ugbo.
Ugbo and Cads were much more involved today, Ingelsson had a good game and McNeil did some good stuff but still not sure what his position is. Bannan hasn’t really got going yet but that’s because he is having to do too much from the back.
We will pick up points if we work harder than the opposition, might not be enough to avoid relegation but you never know which other teams are going to struggle.

Bernards first thought September comeback is going to take longer I imagine with the size of the injury he's had we won't see him till the new year although we are desperate I think the staff actually care and won't throw him into anything competitive or pressured till then .
Back 3 or back 4 for me with Lowe and palmer as center halves. I don't want Iorfa anywhere near defence I'd rather play him center forward at least up there he can't cost us goals he's robbed a wage for nearly 4 seasons since that only decent one he had at the start of his Wednesday carear. But how are we suppose to even have any structure in defence no we've got a spastic in the goal again ?

I can appreciate the new lad's nervous but that goal he shipped was basic stuff. One ofnthe commentators was trying to make excuses for him like "the ball was moving in the air"
It didnt look like it and even still, it was coming straight at his body and he slapped it down.
He then flattened Lowe and later Palmer, he's proper clumsy.
Unfortunately, he's likely to make more costly mistakes. We simply cannot afford that but what choice do we have?
Bernard is biscuits just like Chalobar we're stuck with more Chris Segwick balsa boys.

Rangers fluffed up again Gassame played god how we missed him.yesterday and musaba McNeil ripped Wrexham a new one on the turn imagine with the pace of these two I think we would have won 2-4 .
Apart from his terrible miss I thought McNeil worked very well out wide and when we changed to 4-3-3 or a kind of 4-4-1-1 second half we where much better I'd like to see this tactic at Hillsborough next Saturday from the start it also helped kolbecki who is not a wing back he's an out and out winger I hope pederson took note of this .

Mcneil put.in a shift yesterday and looked a talent. Is he going to end up like Gassama, improve then end up sold for peanuts?
Mcneil and Cadz look good together and you're right even Kobavki looked better when moved upfield and mot pressured to defend because he's absolutely useless at the back, worse than awful Iorfa.
That second half gives us hope but its best to not become delusional. The good teams innthe league are going to hammer us. If we can scrap out enough points with the mediocre teams, of which there were many of last season, then maybe, just maybe we can a make a fight of it rather than be condemned before Christmas.

Seems like we've gone full circle or should I say full magic roundabout again on mushrooms...yet again we find ourselfs not being able to defend any sort of set piece whatsoever and not being able to keep a clean sheet ! we are back in Darren Moore territory in his first year yet again we have to get someone in at the back who can actually defend in the air at the moment we have nobody and Bernard is just as shit at this as the rest !
