Where’s @matty1878 ? Need some positive reinforcement for the 2nd half

 

[eurosrees]

Garner has been good, in a proper functioning midfield he’d be great. Holgate and Gray have been really poor.

Why do we always look so weird when trying to string passes together? it’s like a herd of sheep found a deflated penny floater.

 

[PITA]

31 year old ayew making 26 year old Holgate look like a sloth

Not sure it works that way.

 

[preposterousvelios]

Don’t disagree on that one, I liked Patterson early season before his injury. Don’t see him in training every day or know how close to full fitness he is though so I won’t say I know more than Dyche on that one

Don't know any more than you but don't think its fitness personally.

Must have been about a month ago now that he played for the 23s to build fitness?

I like him think theres a player there, though admittedly he's been inconsistent and not hit the level I was initially hoping he would. Better option than holgate either way though.

I just don't think Dyche fancies him, tbh I reckon if Godfrey was fit Dyche might have played him LB and started this game with four centre backs.

Because we are made up of a bunch of bang average footballers unfortunately

Not really 442...iwobi is dropping to help the midfield. Gray has to work more defensively though especially as going forward he hasn't be that great.

Okay, so now that we have the 4 5 1 and an actual striker to play that “1”, why have we reverted to crap?

Also it is a 442 cuz Gray sits up all the time anyway, to do nothing

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Where is Patterson? Why does Dyche persist with crap fullbacks

 

[Bedfordblue]

McNeil has never played a championship game.

 

[JohnM]

Holgate needs to be hooked. Odds on for a red as Ayew is skinning him.

 

[banno]

first 30 mins horrendous but we grew into the game. Holgate, Myko and Keane scare me. Gray not doing much, got to give DCL at least 10 games to get up to speed . Whoever scores first is the winner I think

Probably hiding in a dark place shaking rapidly !!!

 

[Mr Happy]

Shoots of hope. Probably turn to tendrils of despair in the next hour.

Because he values experience over anything else and hates playing youngsters consistently unless he HAS to

Never a yellow though. Soft

I wont be happy with a point. We just got battered at home and we simply have to start picking up 3 point wins especially when the teams around us aren't. We are going down if we don't. Draws wont be enough. Need to play better in the 2nd half and win the game. Make it happen blues. It is in your own hands to do it, no excuses.
