    Scrutiny on the midfield three today
    Even more on our leaky defence. 
    Starting to think lately that, although the defenders needs to improve, they could look a lot better if they were getting enough midfield protection.
    I've been saying this for months. I think we can upgrade at FB or at least create more competition for places. But the midfield doesn't shield the defense well enough and sometimes give the ball away on areas where a transition and counter is easy. 
    Me too. We’ve been weak in midfield since Cullen and Gallagher left. 
    Apart from a nice spell with Kins and Stuart we've been weak in midield since Peake and Gritt!

    Parker, Holland, Murphy and Smertin.  Not forgetting them!

    Murphy will deny all knowledge of having played for us.

    Apologies in advance for our defeat to Burton today. I've got us to win in my accumulator.
    Why? Why would you do that to yourself?
    Not just that, think of everyone whose afternoon the selfish sod has now ruined.

    Did Louie Watson tell Apples he’s a league one Alan Pardew or something.  Yet again, Fraser the flake gets a start

    Will get worse if we have a poor transfer window and the remote chance of the play offs drifts further out of view.

    No idea why the Jimmy Seed Stand has been opened today, the club could have put an extra half dozen seats by the oppo bench and all the Burton lot could sit together, players and fans.

    Pitch is looking a bit patchy, think there’s been a fair bit of rain on it over the last few weeks #cafc

    I'll be late arriving, so have asked Appleton to make sure we start slowly, with lots of tedious passing across the back 4 until I arrive, and no shots on goal.

    So nothing they're not used to.
