Millwall should've beat us but for their poor finishing, Boro could've beat us if Britt had put his chances away and we weren't great against Sunderland. We've got those points in the bag, but to be honest, those games could have easily gone the other way. Formation and style of play have to change. Smith is a good shot stopper but his distribution is poor, give Henderson a go. Stick Lichaj at LB, he's played there plenty of times before, player of the season last year but doesn't get a sniff. Keep Darikwa at RB. Worrals lack of experience at this level is starting to show and Mills is still making too many mistakes. Put Hobbs and Mancienne at CB. Play McKay and Carayol on the wings, proper wingers. Brereton is not a winger. Play Cummings up with Murphy to feed off or Murphy and Vellios (why he's not getting a chance baffles me) . Two big lads who can both score goals. Then Dowell, Bridcutt, Osbourne Bouchalakis or Vaughn to fill the other spaces. Bring Brereton on later on in the game as he's not quite ready yet to be first choice. We've got the playing staff but it just needs tweaking a bit. We can't always keep trying to pass the opposition to death. Come on Warbo, it needs a shake up.

Totally agree but I remember when hendo was in net
Everyone was calling him crap.
Warbos mistakes should of got a experienced keeper in
And quality centre back.
Looks like Cohen an Vaughen are going to be injured most of season going off Boths history.
So I'd bring ledley in on a free even if it means paying maybe 30k a week. Still only 30 yrs old and plenty good enough for championship.
We need to stick with warburton he's made some good signings and we still gelling together

Agreed, good post TAP but I'd still keep Smith in goal but with instructions to go safety first when he's being closed down. That's the main flaw imo and its due to the managers inflexible doctrine and a young keeper trying to carry out his instructions and stay as first choice.

You are right tappo it needs a shake up. Warbo must change the approach. Play to our strengths and become less predictable

Tap, smith did look like he'd made some progress yesterday and his kicking was better. He made one distribution error which was a ridiculous throw out in the second half - which was totally ridiculous! Otherwise pretty sound yesterday
