Mr Tibbs

Quiet in here after last night....

I liked Liam but there were doubts there and he wasn't actually the manager so not going to dwell too much. I like to think DC handled it as well as he's come across in the few months he's been here.

I was right next to where the penalty incident was .
It was 100 percent a penalty .
As soon as Knight was on the wrong side of his man after being turned he was in trouble.

 

Poor nights work from all involved. Outworked, outran, out jumped, out tackled... etc. Until we start matching teams' effort there will be no bouncing back to the Championship any time soon. 
Too many nothing performances from Bird and Hourihane now, time for JK to slot in the middle and find another RB. It's a shame to see two talented players get dominated every week by less talented players but they've got to start earning the right to play. 
I doubt it'll be back to the drawing board just yet but LR needs to change it up a bit.. performances are going in the wrong direction.

Don’t think Curtis’s return helped. He looked like an old man playing his first game for a while. Knight was outplayed by Diamond. Bird and Hourihane immobile and timid. Only NML of the six forward players looked remotely menacing. Five poor performances from forwards!
No leaders, no thought.
Smith and Knight are our brightest midfielders, but neither is an enforcer. It’s like LR realises we are weak in midfield so picks pretty much 4-2-4 in every game. 
One game doesn’t define a season but that was a watershed. I would expect some harsh words in that dressing room. We have the players to turn things around but not with the attitude or application that they showed tonight.
 

I beg Rosenior to stop playing Bird and Hourihane as a midfield two.
It hasn’t looked good at any point so far this season. So unbalanced.

I think we need to stop banging this drum. We don't have another first team right back aside from Oduroh, who has a lot to learn and I think he'll have a better second half of the season than he'll have a first
Nothing wrong with Knight there. He defends well. He's not restricted there, he is a ball carrier from full back because our full backs play so high up and bring the ball out. He's an injection of energy in wide areas which helps NML or Barkhuizen or Dobbin or whoever is on that side with him.
I think he's a more natural midfielder and that'll be where he plays most of his career, but I think we're utilising his abilities well with our system currently because he gets massive freedom to come out and support attacks

Weirdly it's that Birmingham one for me as well, more so than some of the play off ones... The ref was awful all game and it just felt like he was going to play on until Birmingham equalised... 4 mins injury time did indeed become about 9 mins...

So not counting yesterday and probably Peterborough I think the performances have been great, very good, dominant - call it what you want. For a thrown together team with a shorter pre-season than every other team we've played, the performances have been impressive. The only thing we've not done is put the ball in the net enough. 
To criticise the performances because of Collins' inclusion is way off the mark.

How have they managed to spend that much money but still end up with Worrall, Cook and McKenna at the back. Shambolic.

Pretty strange thing to say considering the performances this season have been great (bar yesterday obviously).

Better team won so don't have any complaints with the scoreline but that performance was disappointing. 
Underwhelmed by Bird and Hourihane. I thought Bird would be all over this level but was chasing shadows today, same with his older mate in CM. First game I've thought Knight was needed in the middle. Whittaker goal was so lucky but what can you do, gave them a massive lift. Subs killed any hope of seeing it out IMO, first time I've seen LR get it so wrong. Thompson's introduction gave their already dominant midfield the chance to nick all 3 points and they rightly did. Lost any chance of holding the ball up when Collins went off, Plymouth recycled the ball at will. 
As long as everyone learns from it at this point in the season I'm not too fussed but a performance like this won't be acceptable in a few months time. Plymouth were a good side, should be up there with us come May. 

Can't beat a traditional home cooked Ham and Pineapple/Hawaiian pizza.
I almost always get a Texas BBQ if we get something from Dominoes which according to their website is; Chicken Breast Strips, Onions, Smoked Bacon Rashers, Green and Red Peppers, BBQ Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese
