So why have we stopped performing / winning? I still don't see a style. We still have full backs firing balls into the box where we only have 1 isolated striker.

 

We overplay far to often, we continually take the wrong option in the forward areas (see league cup final 4 v 1 as an example).

 

We are over-egging the slightest improvement we witnessed (lasted about 3 weeks). 

 

Those 3 or 4 improved performances (which only included 2 wins - home to Killie and away to Ross County) appear to have been the exceptions to the rule.

 

You were the one that brought up a change in tactics. 

 

The only point I made was that I think we play better as a team when Dessers doesn't play, which I've tried to back up with some data.

This could be a very difficult match to sit through.

 

I hope the manager has one or two central defenders lined up for a loan until the end of the season.

It is a head scratcher to say the least. 

Back three. 

Very much doubt it.

How many players do you want to play out of position 😂

 

Leon King might as well be given a job as a groundsman whilst his contract runs.

He'll pull down the pillars supporting the club deck, if (when?) things go wrong....

Quickly checking Barjami's Wiki page to see if has played CB before....🤣🤣

Call me a petty bar steward but I'd be nailing a pic of smugface Rogers on the dressing wall. Can't stand him tbh.

The only point I made was that I think we play better as a team when Dessers doesn't play, which I've tried to back up with same data. 

But the data is for 8 games. Over a season there will be performances that show "improvement", we had them when Dessers played, we've had them when he hasn't played. 

 

He's the leagues top scorer in 2024, if I were the coach I'd be looking at getting a system in place that complements this. If he can be top scorer playing in a system he's not suited to, one wonders what he'd do playing in a system that does suit him.

 

Either way, it appears Clement doesn't rate him and prefers Danilo and / or Igamane.

Obviously not rated by Clement. Not seen anything from King to suggest he had any future at the club.

 

However, he was a centre-half and today we are screaming out for a centre-half.

 

Will be interesting to see if Propper or Sterling get injured today, will he bring on Cortes or King.... 😀

Got a weird feeling we might win...

 

 

I'd imagine we'll start on the front foot.

To win, we'll need to take a better percentage of chances created.

 

A 4-3 win after being 0-3 down at HT is what I want to see. 99th minute Dessers penalty to win.

Was thinking the same. What on earth is the problem there?
