Like the other sleeping giants Peterborough and MK ?

I found this gem a particular rib-tickler.... ?
but I still wouldn’t swap our club with any other, particularly with those toxic pits of greed and entitlement dressed as sleeping giant football clubs (see Derby, Sunderland, Peterborough, Ipswich, MK etc).
We've made it into some pretty exalted company there...... Peterborough..... Sleeping giant...... Oh my sides! ?

Hourihane is a far bigger goal threat than Bird and a genuine match winner.
Bird isn’t a Bielik type. As you say, he needs legs around him but even then, I don’t think he is as creative as Hourihane.
McGoldrick was better as a 10 too.
I think the three at the back gets our better players in their best positions. NML and Bark can play wingbacks. Hourihane and Knight central midfield. McGoldrick and Sibley as roaming number 10s. Collins as the central striker.
 

Agree completely… re CH etc i think there will be occasions for bird and im not writing him off
Obviously he needs to sharpen up but i do have sympathy for him.
People ask what sort of player is he. We know what hes not etc etc.
Hes a water carrier… lots of very good players have been very successful in this role… hes not a destroyer , hes not a goal getter, hes not a particurlar creative hub. But on his day with options and more importantly bodies who are prepared to move for him to receive the ball… hes a water carrier, keeps the flow going, keeps things ticking, your heartbeat, your constant 
hes shown he can do this and is still only young and is learning
Im Not righting him off at all i think he needs time, its usually a role that requires experience and knowhow 

Hold the phone … plan what now ?? Lol

Au contraire Black Adder. 

Having grown up in Buckinghamshire, sure makes me wince when folk think Wycombe is in London ?

Time for my in-depth reaction to this match now...
 
...hahahaha **** off Wycombe

Not often you see a tactical change yield such resounding and immediate benefits. The switch to a back three and a more active midfield was quite literally transformational asnf I think Liam has answered his critics in the best way possible. I'm 'absolutely delighted' for him and I'm sure all those who have spent the week slating him, will now give credit where it's due. Don't worry,  
Not one but 3 standouts today, Barks is a serious player and seems to be settling in really well. Hourihane is a maverick with a magic left peg, pure class today. But for me, the MOTM goes to an unheralded and unsung hero. Joe Wildsmith, take a bow son. That was a performance of which Mart Poom would have been proud.
COYR

We deserved to win that game.
We played far better after the changes.
Sorry Max Bird. But we were better when he went off and looked more fluid. 
 

This. I really want Liam to succeed and us build steadily around a bright young manager long term who seems to get us and the club. Would love him to build and take us back to top flight. For where we were at as a club, the summer signings (except CF and RB) seemed positive, as did the start to the season. But the style and importantly not seeming able to change it at all when its not working is frustrating. The style may work with higher quality players but we are still not up to full strength squadwise and options are limited. I am interested to see how Liam handles these bad results to get back the positivity back both on and off the pitch, particularly as crowd numbers drop off. I wasnt expecting promotion this year realistically but would like to be a little entertained at least. 

Must’ve had a read of the forum post Lincoln game, we’ll all take some credit when it pays off, if it doesn’t nowt to do with us.

Its not rocket science is it? This type of football doesnt work in england.
if rosenior wants to manage in this way then go get a job at one of the big two in the erdevise … u wont go wrong
like many have alluded to i want him to do well… like really do 
but the minute it became apparent he wanted to play this pointless possesion cocu style ball i was like.. if he gets the season ill be amazed
its slow, passive, ponderous and so easy to play against
Every manager in the league knows, let them have the ball in harmless areas and wait til they f*** it up .. then press the f*** out of thtem and theyll panic and give u a chance
weve all seen it here before with cocu and this is no different.

The style rosenior wants us to play… which is basically cocu ball is too easy to play against and counter.
its too slow with and without the ball, no tempo, no urgency, no production. 
 
LR needs to adapt it to suit the skillset of his players otherwise he’ll fail in exactly the same way and for the same reasons as cocu

Said it before said it again… this dutch cocu/FDB total football b******* doesnt work over here
too easy to play against, too easy to counter.
 

I think the most disappointing thing was that There was a lot of very very very poor decision making from all of them today, especially from the so called experienced heads

I agree
but isnt sibley a direct replacement for didsy? So why shove him out wide
when u have dobbin whos shown he can operate out wide sat on the bench?
we lost our pace and subsequently they could play 30 yards higher up the pitch which killed us
think liam owns this one

Disappointing to lose when 2-0 up.
I lost count of the amount of times we had the ball behind their fullback and failed to hit it across goal for a tap-in.
The midfield was definitely second best. Morgan Whittaker had a field day in terms of picking up the ball in dangerous areas in our half.
Forsyth and Hourihane were rubbish. Roberts and Smith in next week please.
