    Feel a bit for Karoy finally getting his chance. Hopefully he starts midweek. 
    Thought he looked lively today 
    I think we’ve needed his energy in recent weeks.

    All I can say is that if we go into the 'Boro game with the same line up we'll get mullered.

    Wasnt too bothered by the way we started... We start quite slowly most weeks, and can often take till the 15th minute for us to start taking control and bossing matches. Have sometimes felt we take the risk to sit back a bit, gauge the opposition playing style and then assert our own control on the match.

    TC not getting the space to shoot, might have been the start of that

    But it definitely felt a struggle of a match, and felt like it would have been a tight 1-0 result either way
    When have we bossed a match? 
    Pretty much every match at the Valley this season, apart from the Southampton game
    Watford - 50/50
    Leicester - yes
    millwall - 50/50
    Blackburn - second half
    every game since no

    Will the training regime now change? 

    By that I mean might they go in to training  today when before they may have planned not to?

    Is there any advantage to be gained beyond our injured players missing fewer games? Does NJ get more or fewer options for midweek as a consequence?

    Im assuming from the starting line up we will likely see the same choices as it’s just too close to make a difference.

    As Valleynick has said will Nathan start Fullah as Hernandez looks proper pony... Some big decisions and we certainly don't need another toning.

    Hernandez seems to have a problem with decision making when playing as a defender. His natural instinct seems to be to go forward but he doesn't; he hesitates as though in two minds, then always plays it negatively and that hesitation is why he is a liability in that position. 

    I have no problems seeing him as a late replacement for someone like Campbell but I'd rather see a natural defender there (though not Roussillon yet as he isn't fit), even if it means a youngster.  I'm also think JRC could do a better job.

    Not much to say about the rest of the game.

    Only just noticed this thread - couldn't agree more with the comments about Hernandez - won't repeat one of the comments about him on Saturday - was amusing but sure it won't translate well on here - lets' just say he doesn't look like a championship footballer and i'm so surprised NJ thinks he does. I know we have to put Fullah in at the right times and not destroy his confidence and all that but surely he'd relish a crack at solving our big problem area at the moment? NJ had them in Sunday - hopefully a rethink was underway.

    For 18mins we were in trouble.
    Hernandez looked  woefull, Oloafe has no idea want he is doing. 
    Anderson works hard but first touch is bad. Jones looks slow and his touch is not want it was. I still think he is playing through an injury. 
    But the match stopped on 13 mins 🤔

    To be fair he's got 200+ Championship appearances and 25 in the Prem.

    I know but bet he weren’t as ‘chunky’ then
