If we’re not going to match the opposition in application and desire then no it won’t be.Wasn't 4231 supposed to be the cure for all our troubles.

I feel like I accepted a while ago that too many of this group are not up for the fight. I’m starting to think that we might need a proper re build.Like last season. Far too many players happy to go through the motions.
Well firstly i play the post not the poster.....i actually quite like you tbh.......secondly i don't believe our players have ever lacked desire and effort.....would you be blaming desire and effort if we had played like that with a back 3?......Can you honestly say that we matched Preston’s levels of commitment tonight? Put aside what you think about me as a person for a minute. Can you seriously say that we matched them in terms of application and desire?
I will take that point, I believe you are right. Although I still believe that regardless of this, with the players that we have we are still more suited to a four.We also lacked passion and desire when we played with three at the back, if we hadn't we'd have won more games.
Tbh I believe you have a point, I was probably too obsessive over formations and systems earlier in the season. I think we’ve lacked desire and application on many occasions this season, playing both systems. Having said that I do still strongly believe that we are better suited to a four at the back. I’m afraid that I can’t agree that our players are giving their all for the cause.Well firstly i play the post not the poster.....i actually quite like you tbh.......secondly i don't believe our players have ever lacked desire and effort.....would you be blaming desire and effort if we had played like that with a back 3?......
Roro was very poor.. Sadly didn't take his chance to impress, offered very little.I enjoyed watching three of our players today, Roro, Surridge and Anthony. They have a combined total of around 30 senior appearances between them but were the only ones who looked like making something happen. The rest of them can hang their heads in shame tbh. The others have individual quality for sure but 100% I’d rather watch an unproven player who actually has the desire to make something happen every day of the week.
Yeah i was thinking the same.....seems to have lost a yard of pace...The decline of Adam Smith is a curious one to me. Not so long ago he was a solid PL full back, even chipped in with goals. Looks a shadow of himself a few years ago.

Yeah, I mentioned that a few weeks ago. Injured? Out of position? Not sure what it is, but he hasn't been the threat that he was.The decline of Adam Smith is a curious one to me. Not so long ago he was a solid PL full back, even chipped in with goals. Looks a shadow of himself a few years ago.
If I had to play with Rico behind me I'd have probaly asked not to play, the bloke was hamstrung from kick off. He was constantly having to cover for Diego who was out of postion for 90% of the game.Which is great. Lost the ball every time and was too lightweight.
He was rightly removed.
Did anybody else feel slightly envious watching that Preston team tonight? The way they were incredibly disciplined and well drilled, fighting for every ball like their life depended on it and incisive in everything that they did. Tonight was a classic example of the better team beating the better group of individuals.
