I would take both Campbells off and bring on Tedic and Taylor. Move Miles to the right and use him as an outlet there. Bring Taylor in to the central midfield and tell him to get his foot on the ball and dictate play.
I would give Anderson 10-15 minutes with a slightly freer role, then bring on Watson.
Very Poor first half out fought and out muscled men against boys. Defence is still like a knife through butter. One man midfield some of our players have hardly touched the ball, shocking 😤
Tyreece Campbell seems to be a winger that can't beat his man, cross or shoot with any real consistency. Feel bad saying it but he doesn't really excite me when I watch him play.
He definitely looked much better on the left. Toward the end of last season he was beating his man consistently. But his left foot isn't strong enough to cut in and shoot consistently, and as such he'd a one trick pony.
We have three decent wingers, none of them RW.
CBT used to play on the right so he can do it. Has the pace to knock it past and put a cross in. Should've swapped them imo.
I agree it's worth a shot, but I think he is better on the left, like both Campbells and Kirk.
Haven't got a positive thing to say about that first half performance. Is that an improvement on what Holden would have offered? At least his teams would press.
We're back to the old Charlton where the opposition press us, and when they've got the ball, we sit back off of them.
No attacking momentum at all, everyone isolated, the midfield totally unable to get a grip on the game, the defending just as hopeless as it was before.
If these were really 'top 6' players, they wouldn't be so shit
Why do people keep saying we have a top 6 squad, we are so far away from that as evidenced by the past 3 seasons and this season is no better. If anything I'd say we're more in danger of relegation this year than the others
One of the worst halves I’ve seen from us this season and that’s saying something. 433 does not work for us, we can’t create enough and we look so open out wide when defending.
just got to a flat 442 ffs.
Every manager these days think they’re far to clever to play a 442. It clearly works at this level
I hate to say it, but Brownie is right about Dobbo for the goal. He doesn't need to go across there. Jones still with an awful challenge, but if Dobbo held his position he cuts that ball out.
Dreadful.No one comes out of that with any credit. Zero threat, shaky at the back every time they come forward. Far too many passengers. As an aside has Isted made a save in any of the games he has played?
Was thinking that, myself, about Isted. I know AMB has not been perfect, but I have no idea why Isted has displaced him. Bloke is small for a winger as well, let alone a ‘keeper.

I don’t know how correct the sky app is, but fleetwood and reading are the only teams playing it and are both losing at home…..

It's not been great.

I know Stevenage are hard to play against but we are crap.
Our formation is just not working. Change it for heavens sake. Take one of T Campbell or B-T off. Maybe even both. They are passengers today.
Nope... No positives
(Ironically if almost prefer him to Appleton)

If he is better than Maynard-Brewer I'm a Dutch man. And I'm really not.
