    It looks like he's looking towards next season by giving everyone game time and slowly but surely ruling players out one by one.

    Lack of quality.

    Morais has said it over and over again all season and he’s 100% correct.

    You watched a different game to me. It wasn't as bad as the last few games, but it was still pretty poor. Aside from the first 15 mins, it was a drab affair.

    My two main questions for the fans forum to GA will be why do we persist with 3 centre backs at home which has yielded 1 win since he took over?
    And does GA and also RS think we are entertaining to watch?
    I wait for their answers

    He's right is GA. We've been constantly chasing all season as we started so poorly.

    It is so hard to catch up when teams get off to poor starts in the first few games.

    So dropping Cook was a performance related decision but Smallwood consistently stays in the starting 11.

    OK Graham.

    Smallwood has something on the club! Maybe his contract says he’s undropable

    • A bit late to the party as I chose to watch a different code today. I looked at the team selection, however, and was amazed and depressed in equal measure. I've said countless times that we should play one of Smallwood, Gilliead and McDonald and lo and behold all three were there. Last week we had seven essentially defensive players starting. This week it appeared to be eight. Tell me, how did our attacking play go?

    I would add Jamie Walker to the starting 11 when fit. There's also Tyriek Wright, so some good options to come back. Today's performance was a step in the right direction but much to improve on - from an attacking sense at least.

    A very promising start and some good attacking moments but nothing really clear cut. Very solid defensively though.

    18th after 30 games
    No wins in 2024

    Yet some fans are positive after a 0-0 at home. Unbelievable

    My view.

    Drab. Tepid.

    37 roof panels on top of kop.

    1 more bulb out on floodlights at TL Dallas end, making a Walker

    Speakers could do with a spring clean

    2 advertisements in the ground out of sync to rest of them

    Why did I get bullied by my son to watch that ?

    90 minutes of my life I will not remember deliberately

    As others have alluded to good 15 minutes with the crowd behind them followed by 75 minutes of pure tedium. On this showing Young deserves a better set up than this, thought he looked lively. Tonkinson and Kelly had good games but apart from that all a bit meh. Their number 18 best player on the pitch.
    We are a hard watch at the moment and Valley Parade is literally the proverbial library.

    My lad said Kavanagh looked decent, better than Smith he said?

    That doesn't take much.

    But yeah, I thought he looked like he might have something about him. Went in on a couple of 50/50s with a bit of bite too.
