5 at the back formations are generally simpler and less sophisticated than others. They are also out of date, and have been for about 6/7 years when Conte was using it at Chelsea and Wilder was at Sheff Utd. The only teams that use to some level of success now are Wolves and Brentford, and they use it mainly to counter-attack given the opposition they usually play.

There was more of a 'feelgood factor' when we faced extinction.
Being second under Warne, with the dross being served up, is demoralising.
To me, it's not even about results (though they're not what they should be against poorer league one squads), it's about entertaining football.
This is a long way removed from that.

is that not the entire season summarised? 

has been all season

Warne's style of football is simply unsuitable for a club our size. It gives him absolutely no room for error because there is no goodwill in the bank to give the fans something to cling on to when results are poor.
The football is utterly dreadful and has been all seasons. We are where we are because we are financially more powerful than most of the league even with our restrictions and have players that can paper over the cracks in our amateurish setup.

Can you all slow down please I’m still on Page 17 and trying to watch Blackburn V Bar Codes 

Hate it when he says this. Its a cop out that blames the players either way. Either they don't work hard enough, or they do work hard enough but don't have the talent and there's no more he can do. 

I think it’s evident Warne isn’t a good coach. He may be a decent manager, but a coach he is not.
His motto will be to work harder than the opposition, and then let your natural talent win games.
But that only works when the opposition aren’t set up well.
The moment we play higher calibre coached teams we get found out.
Warne would be a disaster in the Championship with us as we might be able to work as hard as the rest, but we won’t have more talented players and we won’t be well coached. 

It was a lucky win against Stevenage

Football is diabolical, no one can seriously enjoy watching this side.

The football is very low quality and I enjoy watching park football more but I’ve always said it’s the result that count
But no more - it’s pathetic, any half decent manager would get this squad up top 
5 at the back is rubbish and definitely doesn’t work at home 
Brainless 

I’d honestly love to see what others are seeing when they defend this stuff. 
 
Football is garbage and when the results eventually turn all you’re left with is awful football. 

I said it at the beginning of the season and got moaned at - At home we have been ok about twice whilst losing to two league two sides in the cups as well - try selling season tickets to watch that garbage again.We have the players to actually play real football and look decent

has been all season

We sit 2nd in the league but I genuinely believe any half competent manager would have had us all bar promoted by now with the amount of points everyone else below us keeps dropping. The scenes on here when we limp into the playoffs and get dumped out in the semis will be quite something. How many years left on his contract? Wake me up when its run out or Clowes grows a pair. 

is that not the entire season summarised? 

He doesn’t know how to play any football - let’s hope we get promoted somehow and he can leave

He's just refusing to let the 5 at the back go. It doesn't work and it doesn't suit our club. I honestly think he's persisting with it because its the only system he fully understands. Even when we play with a back 4 it feels like there's large tactical elements just missing from our play like Warne just doesn't know how to play it fully. 

What are these players being told to do in training? Surely it’s not get it out wide and hope NML can pull something out his backside for hours a day? Cos if it’s not that then we’re either praying for a set piece or a bit of magic from somewhere. We’ve created absolutely nothing against a team that haven’t won since November.
We turn every game into a scrap as if we’re the underdogs which of course suits 90% of this torrid division down to the ground. Why play around them when we can try and out-battle teams that haven’t got half as much talent as us? Baffling.
