nothing to loose here. It's either a glorious win or an expected defeat.

Agree with all this. It's a near impossible task unless this lot are somehow awful and we just made them look good. I don't think that's the case their defenders looked good as did their keeper. They also looked very dangerous on the break.

Good news we may need both.

Cheers i missed the game good to get a summary.

4 - 1 fs Colak

Colak for his second first goal

Seems a bit experienced to be back up. That said Tuesday showed how vulnerable we are to a Kent injury.

i think it's already clear sands isn't the answer at LCB

3 - 1 rangers FGS Matondo.

It most certainly would ideally. Perhaps the issue with that is the window and worth noting we will either need to promote RM or get a keeper anyway for next year. It's an area we need to look at if we have money. When is debatable but short to medium term.

It's possible we can do better there. It's also very possible he is good enough or even better than that. We are fairly deep into improving areas of the team and at a certain point keeper will roll round. I just think it's next after CM.

the good thing is we have the solution to a lot of our issues last night already in place. Barasic is a great LB when you are dominating teams and he has space to work in and is mostly attacking. Yilmaz should be able to skin a player and go in behind in games like this. Davies is a LCB our only one really and should play there from now on. Lundstrum back in MF if we do need a 3 at the back sands looked much better at RCB than LCB. Kent to come in and take the ball forwards. Morelos a huge upgrade on Colak though they are very different in fairness. We do still need to ideally sell Kamara and get an AM as our balance there is wrong. We need a CM who is really comfortable on the ball and can go create. A proper number 8. Beyond that perhaps we need to look at a keeper next bit early to say.

Perhaps we take his performance as a whole. I did anyway.

He did. They aren't a team of stars but they are really wells set up, confident and know how they want to play and how they want to make the opposition play. We made a mistake going 3 at the back. 4-3-3 has always been the way to play v 5-3-2. Losing Kent was huge here.

Went for Lundstrum over McLaughlan because the first goal was savable. Only those 2 and Wright were even close to passable.

i thought Lundstrum was ok. Beyond those two it was awful.

tav rescues us from it being 3. We let them have far to much possession in the box at both goals.

if i ever hear anyone slagging kents contributions again......

Scott Wright

should have been 3

2- 0 13 mins to go. be lucky to hold it at that

glad we got PSV in the draw now. would be harder to take if we had a chance.

brought that on ourselves though

madness

we need to take sands off
