Interesting stat 18:49 - Sep 18 with 1994 views | MattFinish | I know RM will quite rightly not criticise players and clearly backs Bazunu but here is an interesting fact Sheffield Wednesday had 1 shot on target and scored 1 goal Norwich had 8 shots on target and scored 4 Plymouth had 2 shots on target and scored 1 QPR 3 shots on target and scored 1 Sunderland had 10 shots on target and scored 5 Leicester had 8 shots on target and scored 4 So basically teams are scoring with more than 50% of shots on target against us. Whereas I'm not putting the blame entirely at Baz's door as our defence has been poor he must take a lot of the blame In 6 games we have conceded nearly half as many as the top 6 sides combined. We have conceded more goals than any other team in the football leage apart from Sutton Utd who are rock bottom. RM needs to sort this out and quickly | | | | |
Interesting stat on 18:54 - Sep 18 with 1960 views | 1885_SFC | The only slight glimmer of light is that RM hasn't had a settled back four. If we can get Janny B and Jack Stephens fit, we might start shoring up the defence a little & give Bazunu a tad more protection. | |

True and as I said I'm not entirely blaming Baz. I'm disappointed we loaned ABK out. He would have been a monster in this league at least until the next window | | | |

It is truly a sign of our desperation if we are pining for a return for Super Jack. | |

I'd say The Championship is his level to be fair to the lad. | |

this highlights our issue they are NOT the answer We needed new centre backs, we got one whom it was said would be the answer after last season at BurnlEy, frankly he didn't look it on friday relying on Janny and Jacky is just adding salt to the would we needed a keeper CBs and another LB or RB and we got nowhere near what we need nd now we leak goals No surprise anywhere | | | |

No he didn't look it on Friday. But neither will any other CB playing in that system where they are constantly exposed. It's pointless looking for miracle CBs or "leaders" when the system itself is set up to concede goals. Baz isn't the greatest keeper, but it's the same with him. He's also being left exposed because we don't defend as a team and our own tactics put us in trouble. | | | |
Interesting stat on 10:28 - Sep 19 with 1520 views | DorsetIan | Never mind the defenders. If you play a system where KWP and shea Charles are playing musical chairs with the right back position, while the keeper is trying to distribute short to them, it's a recipe for disaster. Far too complicated and clever. We were rightly punished. | |

Agreed. | |
| We thought that we had the answers,
It was the questions we had wrong. |

Interesting stat on 11:45 - Sep 19 with 1434 views | SonicBoom | I keep saying it... what is it about our new "tactics" that is so complicated that it takes 6 months to teach to a team of professional footballers. Martin hasn't invented a completely new form of football. Even Pep can't claim to have done that. | | | |

Whether or not RM makes a success of the tippy tappy style of play and emulates Pep, I just don’t like it. Pep didn’t invent it, he ruined it. Dutch total football was technical but exciting. Pep took it and drained the life out of it. There was nothing more boring than watching Iniesta and Xavi play ten 5 yard passes back and forward to each other under no pressure | | | |
