The small group of players relates to the short-time we had to build a strong enough squad. last summer. Imo, the international break killed us, much of our squad didn't have the luxury of a rest, some returned with knocks & injuries, others came back looking jaded. After the Boro' game on Mond...

Just another point on Archie and the criticism. The kid must be absolutely exhausted and his head must be spinning. Defensive midfield and right back (neither his best position). But kids need managing, you won't find another 17 year old (18 now) whose played nearly 50 games in a season He's been re...

Any idea why you barely used you 29 last night? He had the run on our LB and LCB and your boys barely used him. He could have single handedly won you that game because there were huge issues to exploit and he just wasn't given the ball enough Because our manager for reasons best know to himself cho...

Meh think if that's your approach you need an aura.

Farke doesn't have that.

Always a time for getting angry imo

Maybe he's too nice?

Yes he seems a square peg. I think at some point there will be a manager who builds a team around him. He isn't suited for 4-2-3-1 (always hated it myself) Stick him in a 3 man midfield and we would see him shine. I think he'd be fine in a Klich role. But you need to dominate possession every game ...

I'm not trying to use it as an excuse for that performance, but I don't think the squad is particularly deep. We've been fairly injury free this season but over-reliance on certain players can't have helped. We looked totally lost today. No control in midfield, no threat up front, stray passes, pla...

They have mate hence why we owe so much (we amortised it) but took lump sums for KP and Raph

It's that big green line

Gray is a passenger in midfield. If he wasn't homegrown with that heritage it would have been said by now. But emotional investment and all that. Plus Farke knows selling him would make life easier next season. Him not playing his role left holes in our MF which they exploited even before the first...

Gnonto didn't look fit, Rodon is playing through an injury, Firpo has had a virus Or are we just poorly coached? How often do we put together well worked passing moves? We don't seem to have patterns of play or know whose where and when, players just arrive in a position by default. The positioning...

His form and chance creation has completely collapsed since the international break and his surgery.

Not fit?

Burned out?

Whatever the issue its coincided with our form collapse.

1 more push please Georgie.

I haven’t thrown in the proverbial towel. I don’t know if Farke has got a bollocking in him, it would probably not be that effective - probably something about farting in a general direction. I do not like the sullen sit in the seat approach - I understand he has that calm demeanour but JHC if he c...

Young players I'd imagine

Be amazed if he said anything about his own setup and what he could have done ?

Not bothered reading press conference

Press conference cba posting it.

Will waffle on about young squad and 90points

Another season in the championship will do us the world of good

We've moved to coping measures already

Has this ever been the case?

We owe nearly £200mil in fees . . . .

Ipswich lose all 3 and we limp over the line!!!! Believe!!!

Congratulations to Leicester

Poundland Pep scraped by.

Not much really you can say.

Looked a poorly coached and badly set up team of strangers with no idea who is meant to be where.

Passive and negative out of possession, slow and static in possession.

Then some ineffective subs to top it off.

Yep miserable long journey to reflect

Bump

Cifuentes has absolutely owned Farke with someone else's squad and a squad bottom 2 when he arrived and a fraction of the resources

Fair play.

Saving Summerville and Georgie now presumably.

Basically waving the white flag protecting those carrying him
