    Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I was agreeing with you. The original post was just wrong

    Problem is when you play 4-2-4 as we were in the first half, we're wide open to the counter attack (against a team who loves attacking on the counter-attack!!)

    I'm not certain us having five shots on target and conceding at least two goals every game is any way forward.

    For me we could be a good attacking team with a 4-3-3 which is apparently a system Alexander likes.

    We've been excellent second half, so well done GA for his HT intervention, and well done to the players for their response.

    But the defence is a huge problem, and Ash Taylor especially should never wear our shirt again. Horrendous player.

    We're not going to be a good team in any system without several changes to the squad. The defence is a car crash.

    Yes we have 2 young players who could step up especially the midfielder Jefferies who played in the cup win against Man City with the young loan from Norwich superb at centre back

    As gutless as the first half was our second half performance has been equal to County's unfortunately we haven't been as clinical as they were.
    Fair play to Alexander his subs and change of formation has been far better, Halliday has to be MOTM for us.

    Agree. Cook has been wasteful. Even in the first half we had a couple of good chances. Going forward you have to say we've been good, it's the defensive side that's awful

    Great comeback but why is there still so little urgency?
    No running to get the ball out the net?
    Taking time to take throw ins?

    Cook desperately needs a break.

    just how many chances does Cook need? As someone in his early 30's he must know just where the goal is!:sick:

    Cookie carried us last season
    Is absolutely ruining us this.
    How many times do we see a player sign a long term deal and all of a sudden they become shite?

    Only good thing Hughes did managerially was drop Cook for a series of games. Put the kit man up front.

    Cook shouldn't have been given a 3 year deal. He is far too comfortable
