After about 2 minutes I thought we were in for a real beating as Sunderland cut through us with real ease twice. After that we found our feet and it was that aggressive pressing direct performance we had against Watford. Really thought we played well and almost roughed them up a bit...

Didn’t realise there only win was against us, that’s probably the only other game this season where we looked ok too. Still on a high after yesterday, I really wasn’t expecting us to finally turn up I must admit. Although today the win somewhat tainted by the injury situation, not sure what...

Totally agree, not sure where the intensity has been but great to see it back today. That’s what got us promoted, it needs to be built upon though. The injury situation is ridiculous and it seems to consistently impact the defence and centre halves in particular for whatever reason. There must...

Finally a performance that you can recognise from us this season. We were back to being aggressive and direct in the game where that really mattered most. Huge win and hopefully a turning point for us

Team news in and I’m now less confident. Nakamba on the bench, stuck with a 2 man midfield with Chong playing. He’s never going to learn

I don’t think winning tomorrow does much unless it’s backed up by a run of results. A win tomorrow buys maybe an additional 5 games before the pressure mounts again if we don’t make some improvements. Being honest I’m kind of expecting to lose tomorrow, but the manner is almost as important to...

We have further injury issues. Mengi is out, Walters has somehow broken his foot and is now out for 2 months. This alongside Bell and Andersen being absent too. McGuinness is also a doubt but given the situation with others I imagine we might try and push him out there. Leaves us light in...

It’s not really based on one game though is it? We’ve been totally rubbish this season and despite expectations to the contrary stoked by the manager himself, and losing to Watford would be the final straw for a lot of people

Pretty much agree with that tbh. The key thing with that side was a very aggressive mentality. You can see from this season that that mindset is totally gone, typified by Edwards attitude this season which could be largely described as tired resignation

Club have just posted a picture of him at the training ground and “building toward Derby day” . So seems the rumour was premature at best. Although I still think he’s on borrowed time. Funny looking back in hindsight at this post seems rather foolish, then again didn’t think we would be quite...

Well, we were 13th at the time of Edward’s first game and not in especially great form. Edwards certainly had a huge positive impact but the real thing that did it was the Nakamba signing really, he was the missing ingredient of that team that put it over the edge

Rumours swirling that Edwards has walked away today. If true and he’s walked and not pushed, that sort of chimes with a lot of his recent behaviour. He’s looked down, sitting down in the dugout during games and post match interviews looking very depressed and bereft of anything to really say...

if we lose, which I think we will, it will be very difficult. I think at that point the balance of those wanting to see Edwards go will tip in favour of it finally but the club would absolutely not want to sack him having lost to Watford. Very awkward, a little concerned the situation could get ugly

It didn’t look like a 352 to me, although the names put out could have played it. Was a pretty standard 442, he had Clark up front (or at least closest too) Adebayo, Walters LB, Burke at RB (lol) and Moses and Doughty as the wide players. Honestly it was totally bonkers, the whole bloody issue...

Goodness me we are poor. The recruitment team have totally messed up with the McGuinness signing, doesn’t look up to the standard. We’ve gone 442 from the sound of it, reaching the point where we are just lurching from one system to another without any clear direction now. Won’t be long...

Sheffield United away for us as we now start quite tricky looking run of fixtures including the Watford game on the 19th. Thankfully the international break in between those because feels like everyone needs a reset.

Agree with all of this really. The lack of identity is the core issue for me and is running through all things right now. When we were successful the identity was so clear, in League 2/1 it was the 442 diamond with the flying wingbacks, we evolved when NJ came back to an extremely effective...

Went to the Stevenage Charlton game as we played last night and had nothing better to do (yeah I know) Not the best game entertainment wise I must say. Looked like it was going to be heading for a pretty dull 0-0 for most of it with both teams rather cancelling eachother out. Then Stevenage...

If Edwards doesn’t change the formation it’s only going to end one way and it’s not going to be pretty. The midfield is wide open constantly. Players look low on confidence and I’m not sure the recruitment matched how Edwards wants us to play either. That new contract we have given him could...

Since about February we have played a stupid formation and insisted on losing the midfield, and had probably the worst injury luck I’ve ever seen to the point that it must be something underlying at this point. Neither shows any sign of changing at the moment.
