Credit to the manager

Looking like he could be a decent manager, very adaptable too

Is it my imagination or have we gone from a pressing side to a sit back and hope for the best side?

Wouldn't hate this. Joseph for Paddy for some energy up front.

They're looking fresher, knocking the ball around well, changes needed I think.

It irritates me how easily they seem to waltz by our challenges and the way we are playing will only have one ending.

Meslier is awful with the ball at his feet.

We're not good enough defensively to sit back and Farke has done this at the start of the second half a number of times this season.
