What a load of rubbish tonight.

Tactics and selection the team wrong.
Osborn is not a left back.
Watson is slow again.
Gonclaves not up to it.
Soudani no good a leading the line.

Should have selected Yocob to play instead of Watson.

Tactic of playing out of the back and letting teams press us high up the pitch is a massive mistake. Everyone watching this will do the same for the rest of the season. You can bet Sheffield United and Stoke will be doing it.

This is not promotion form at all. Would not be surprised to see more signings in January but I think it is not so much the players as tactics that is the problem.

You could give ak another 10 players and he wouldn't know what to do with them. just look at cloughie - got no cash his players on paper not as good as ours, but they showed more skill on the ball, more movement passing, were better and they wanted it more.

A better manager would put out his strongest team put the game to bed and the make changes. The seasoned pro's will be livid as they want to go to wembley and get silverware. To be left out and see this pathetic effort after getting past newcastle and stoke will hurt. Bare in mind this was an away fixture against a lowly club where our so called style fits better away from home, why make the changes. Gives him an excuse i reckon.

I think we need to stop comparing every manager we have to Cloughie. That was 40 years ago when he took over and, let's face it, there will never another manager that comes close to him. Playing 2 defensive minded midfielders and 2 Portuguese players who aren't used to being closed down so quickly was always a bad idea.

Rutland the seasoned pros are the ones that let us down

If the manager had put out the same team after Saturday's high tempo game they would have been goosed for Saturday!

Those that came in and did not perform cannot now complain when they have to wait for another game. It's called squad management!

Yacoub will now get his chance and this will stiffen up the midfield for the front 4 to be more direct!
