Issues mainly were going behind

and playing poorly in the first half, but escaping after half time.

Now we're not scoring we're still conceding generally one sloppy goal a game and losing/drawing.

Grabban's deflected goals have dried up, BJ was never going to keep scoring wonder goals, Redmond looks like he'll never score again, we've barely played a penetrating through ball in weeks, and the same 14/15 players are picked even when we haven't been winning.

Recently our attacking play has been too slow, we pass the ball backwards and sideways, allowing oppo to get 10 or 11 behind the ball. Redmond stops when he gets the ball and then tries to beat his man, doesn't get to the byline enough, and we have no left winger (Murph kept cutting inside rather than taking his man on on the outside).

We are currently utterly predictable.

We've bought or loaned three left sided centre backs and play Turner at left CB with a right back alongside him, with a right back who has been truly garbage in the last two games next to him.

We have a Belgian international and a proven Prem/top Champ player in O'Neil who hasn't had a kick. Elliott Bennett wasn't even on the bench, despite having no natural wide replacement and three central midfielders on the bench.

Hooper looks unfit and disinterested.

Issues were not resolved with our best (when on form) centre back, who has now been loaned to a promotion rival.

Miquel, Cuellar, Vadis, O'Neil, Garrido and Bennett have barely had a kick.

Just random general thoughts.
