    This is gonna sound quite harsh, but the good news is about us looking this poor is we have an owner now who actually wants us to do well and watches our games. He won't stand for any dross and let us look this poor consistently
    Doesn't sound harsh at all. If i was investing up to 20m in the first year alone and was watching this, i'd be asking some serious questions about what the fuck they do in training.
    First time I've doubted whether Sandgaard understands football
    He's American... He's still baffled as to why we're constantly punting and arent get the 1st downs in more often
  • First half highlights:

    0' Ref blows whistle to start the game.

    45+2' Ref blows whistle for half time.

    Nothing has happened in between.

    Dull.

    Poor.

    Shocking.

    Can only get better.

    But probably won't.
  • Midfield is the root cause right now. No width, no pace, no creativity. I know Williams splits opinion, but surely one of him or Morgan should start and then swap them after an hour. You have to have someone in midfield who wants to create. The 4 out there are just recycling the ball backwards and sideways until we eventually lose it.

    Basic attacking tactic at the moment seems to be boot it in Chuks’ general direction and hope he somehow magics us up a goal.

    We look miles away from the League One Play-Off winning side. Quite shocked at how bad we look, something is certainly amiss. 
    No Morgan
    No Shinnie
    No Williams/Maddison 
    No pace 
    No width

    What did anybody expect?

    For us to show a bit of fight, we have enough quality on the pitch to give these lot a good game. We look ponderous (again) and disinterested.

    Please change that midfield and don’t play them together again.

    My god. Maatsen shows some urgency and sprints forward with the ball. Squares it, and we send it back 40 yards to our keeper. What is our pattern of play exactly
    All that shape work from Bowyer during the intl break has seen us well...

    He didn't say that it was "attacking" shape work though did he?
    We've not been good in defence or midfield either since the break so it must be about the subs shape.

    DULL would be an improvement on this. What does Gilbey bring to the team? Need Albie on and the January transfer window to add some quality.
  • Utter dross . Maatsen and Famewo and to be fair Pearce have done well  , but JFC , Pratley and Watson make it a very pedestrian midfield  . Can only get better  .

    chucks and martsen r the only players who can go past anybody and that midfield is as pedestrian as i've ever seen - worried that watson and pratley together in midfield is too slow and defensive? well lets add jfc as well and really plod it up

    We look as one paced and lacking in imagination as we did under Robinson. 
  • Bogle & Maddison with Morgan & Williams if you must😐

    Well that was a crock of shite, at one point we had the ball about 30 yds out (may have been 35/40) in their half and due to lack of movement we sent it all the way back to Amos!! We have no pace and very little movement. We need a BIG second half, as other results are currently, in the main, going our way.

    Danish / American, been in America far too long

    Also love that was your bigger issue rather than the fact that he'd confuse American Football with Football ;)

    Our midfield's only function seems to be to facilitate a backwards pass to the defence. Got to change it up - surely! Get Albie on. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see a red card or two in this game

    Passing backwards because nobody with enough balls to take on their defenders, never going to get promoted like this.

    Just in so PWR but that midfield lacks any creativity. Now to catch up quickly on the thread ....

    I'll never slag Bows off as we owe him so much, but I'm starting to wonder if everything he's had to put up with has got to him.

    We look completely lost and devoid of ideas.
    Pressure because up until now he has had a free pass, Roland, ESI, new players etc etc?

    He bigged up the "shape work" in the international break and we have been fucking aweful since.

    Is the fear of loosing starting to bite? 
  • Painful

    We look really ordinary, a desperate lack of quality on the ball

    Purrington left back and push Maatsen up would be a good change too. We need something on the wings. Oh how we miss Alfie's pace
  • Too many players waiting for the ball rather than going to win it.

    This would be a perfect game for a shoot on sight player...
  • We have no clue. 
    How has JFC come off the radar and taken a start. 
    How Bowyer can think that side would create anything is a joke. 

    Backwards backwards, mistake  backwards, lump, miscontrol. 

    Shite

    Pratley and Watson are there to protect the semi-fit centre backs I reckon. Second half there is the Morgan/Williams option to make the midfield more creative, and putting Purrington on and pushing Maatsen upfield.

    First half the passing had better be good  because there is no carry in that midfield much beyond walking pace.
    As usual, slow to start first half, wait for a rollocking half time before playing better in second half............or is that my imagination?
    Say no more

    Get Watson off, push Pratley back, get someone else in midfield. 

    Next week, in training, work on an actual system of play

    Winning only one Range Rover might not be enough to make this game worth enduring.
    Can’t even win the RR being in the USA....made my mind up one minute before kick off.... regretting that now

    Save yourself the pain and just go the last page.

    I mean they can't do any harm compared to current group on pitch however not sure if the first 2 on bus - apologies if so Ross1

  • inept, clueless and devoid of any idea of how we are suppose to be playing. Bowyer needs to be called out. Awful team selection. Lack of width, pace and energy. His refusal to play our younger players is costing us. No excuses this is awful, Shrewsbury are awful. If you pick four midfielders who are basically the same player then you reap what you saw. Get Morgan on get Henry on. Enough blaming injuries, fans, players, covid or the usual shit. Bowyer needs to do some coaching and sort this. Anything less than three points against this shower of shite is not good enough.
