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.

He goes through phases like this where the confidence is low and he just looks absolutely awful. He’s had them before but never for as long or as bad as this I don’t think. When he’s on his game he is physically so difficult for defenders but when he’s off it he is massively off it and makes...

In a surprise to no one, well I say no one - maybe it’s a surprise to one person and he is the one who matters, we have stuck with this shape and are getting dominated on midfield. We have 2 in midfield, they have 3 so we lose the numbers game and end up therefore getting dominated. Rarely...

Hope it’s not that. Chong isn’t a CM and to accommodate that fact he’s played Morris in like an awkward Right Wing/Right Inside forward type role that he’s been poor at or worse still dropping Morris playing Clark there to accommodate Chong. Came on played up front and was difficult to deal with...

Plymouth away for us tomorrow night. Credit to anyone going tomorrow night 20:00 kick off on a Friday night. Ridiculous. We havent played well and were lucky on Saturday to come away with the win on what was a very lacklustre effort. Edwards made some odd statements i felt after the game and...

The documents submitted to the council have been made publically available. Read them tonight and hard not to get excited about it, it’s clear the Premier League money has really allowed the club to put some extras in there and really make it that bit better. This thread does a good job of...

Just watching on sky and the sky interviewer said she’s seen a big bite mark on Becks neck/back area.

Bit of a non event in terms of genuine scoring opportunities but got quite spicy. Really looked like Osmajic bit Beck at the end there, could be in trouble for that

This is why i rarely comment on referees, as no 2 people (allegiances aside which further compound things) will see incidents the same. Its an unbelievably tough job, especially at this level which is extremley physical with many teams having winning "duals" a key component of their tactical...

I mean it IS close, but it’s probably just in the realm of not handball. The fact he moved his arm toward us has done him there - I can definitely see why the ref in real time gives that

Not seen it back yet and wasn’t particularly clear at the game but will say 2 things A) wouldn’t surprise me if it was incorrect given the general performance of the ref today. Absolutely abysmal B) I’m not sure anyone, officials included, has a single clue about what handball is anymore.

We absolutely stole that game. Thought we were genuinely awful right up to the penalty and red card incident which totally changed the momentum of it. Not sure what Edwards needs to see to stop this shape we are using, just consistently lose the midfield battle meaning we end up easy to press...

We sort of stopped the rot last week against Millwall so you are kind of fine on that front! Good to just finally win a game last week although the performance, in particular second half, was a bit ropey. Weirdly Edwards seemed more upset after the win than he had some of the defeats this...
