It's not a good squad, granted, but there has to be more options than a flat midfield 3 and a gulf the size of the pennines to the front 3.

Kevin Muscat not tickle your fancy? 🙃

Also a very relevant point. I haven't seen a name mentioned yet that I'd be happy with as an alternative. I would hope, however, that we could maybe spread our net further than "unemployed ex PL coaches"...

Yep. We're winning? Everyone get back and let's defend. We're losing? Better throw on attacking players and hope we score.

It works when you've got the best squad in the Championship, and I don't mean that to discredit what he did there, but it ain't good enough now.

First goal for sure he can take some blame on. Weak cross that he palms back into the middle of the box. Really basic stuff.

Problem is, even when he "makes changes", it's just body for body. There's no tactical shift, no switch in *how* we play based on who's in the side. It's just a different set of players trying to do the same thing as the last set tried last week.

Right now, I feel like we need to gamble and go with someone else. I don't see enough in what DF is doing; we're far too easy to beat.

That might be because the loss is still annoying me, but that's where I'm at right now.

Take *that*, liberal society!

Of course, this implies that Winter is a silly sausage who mistakenly conflated anti-racism/anti-hooliganism with anti-semitism because the club in question happen to come from Israel. We all know what he's doing here and - importantly - so does he.

Thanks for the clarification. Good to know!

Re Cibicki: oh dear 🤦 the guy obviously has some issues he needs help with.

I thought, for a brief moment, he'd get us through to the end of the season. Then Crystal Palace happened...

Can't have the commoners learning the ability to read and think critically...
