On Saturday it was clear to everyone that GM was playing people out of position again, but worst than that is that he never really tried to change the pattern of the game. Even when he did finally react his subs were not a reflection of what was happening in the match.

To me any decent manager should react if plan A not working quickly and change formation/ players if needed.

He didn't and that game should have been 0-0 as it was so dull. I blame us for not pressing them on the ball so they looked comfortable, but to be honest I would look comfortable on the ball the way we played and I'm Sunday league standard.

I could not post on Sat after the game as just angry really at lack of leadership from manager and team.

Jansson and Bridcut only did well, Bartley was OK as well but that is it.

Wood, Swedish Ant, Slow mo Mowatt, Phillips were really really poor.

Tomorrow play people in RIGHT positions! please GM.

I would play 4-2-3-1 but attack and press more.

Play same back 4 (I would play the Cat now we have a bigger defense as well but he wont, Green slow to move these days too old) .

O'Kane with Brid.

Sacko/ Roofe wide (or Dallas) with Pablo (Mowatt when Pablo gets tried or not doing it) just behind CF which would be Swedish Ant.

I would play that team at Cardiff as well and say to the players you have 2 games to keep shirt but maybe GM does do that but they don't listen?

On bench I would be tempted to include that young kid as a forward or try playing Roofe as a CF, we need to do something as no threat at the moment so nothing to lose really.

For me I just want to see what he is trying to do but I can't, he really needs 4 points from next 2 games but both Blackburn/ Cardiff can be beaten with the players we have, they should be good enough but we are going backwoods.

Please fond hard wooden surface and bang head until pain out ways despair .

Totally agree DG, the subs were like for like and made no sense. Roofe scored 20+ last season (in league 2) playing as a forward not a winger. Sacko, although inconsistent has pace to trouble defences. Antonnson, has movement buts requires a link man to feed him. Instead Monk persisted with the slowest winger in the world in Mowatt and a striker who is as mobile as a snail carrying a heavy bag of shopping. The mind boggles.

Think with Roofe as a striker we pose a lot more of a threat, Monk has come out and said he knows what works and what doesnt, so how can he play Wood tomorrow?, because its odds on he will, even Evans has come out with a comment ofthere are 3 plaers who will always deliver, Talor, Bridcutt and Wood, good grief, first two yes, but wood?, is he watching Leeds play or what, so if y sme chance Evans does return, were still stuck with Wood, what a depressing thought.
