The biggest problem is, we can expect more of this on Wednesday against Derby.
The glaring problems continue plague us. These players are incapable of the basics.

So we will end the year either 9th, 10th or 11th.
With these players that is a minor miracle DR has performed

We need Bernard back, Johnson needs to be dropped immediately and we need a left sided CH in there. Going forward we look good, we create chances every game, just need to take one or two more. Too many sloppy passes but I wonder if that is the product of the tactics sometimes with DR seeming to prefer quick passing when we get the ball, and in defence that bites us in the ass sometimes!!
Going to be key to keep Charles, Chalobah and Inglesson seem to be good enough to start or come off the bench. Ugbo desperately needs a goal as for me he is still a better option than Smith if he can find some form. Windass is on fire, keep getting the ball to him in and around the box and he will score. Gassama has to play every game, he has improved this season a lot, needs to continue that.

I'm well past it with Awful. Constant liability. He was pulled for two handballs before being pulled for the penalty which was sketchy and wouldn't have been given our way.
Iorfa has to go. Rohls problem is that we're wafer thin at the back.
Might as well play Otegbayo and whoever else over Awful.
As for the passing and ball control... my god.

The game stats show that we had more passes, better passing accuracy and more touches in the box and more corners. Unfortunately the one that counts is goals scored !
At the end Johnson was just going through the motions again and looked knackered. From OT his misiss allegedly threw him out recently for playing away so that definitely won’t be helping with his mental attitude if true,

Johnson and Iorfa are not good enough, neither is Valery but the other two we need to replace desperately.
Smith was abysmal today, back to the old Smith with wooden clogs on.
It's a thin squad with no strength in depth. It must be really difficult for Rohl having coached German internationals to then have to coach players like these.
