I agree with many comments that at times we have to be adaptable. Both Fulham and Huddersfield have both out-played us in the middle of the park, allowing their full-backs to push on causing us problems out-wide. I think Bruno is having a tougher time of it recently, and he has been poor all-round for sometime now - hopefully he can play his way back to form. For those that have questioned Baldock's role in the team, last night was a great example where without pace and clever runs, it is just too easy for centre-halves, not worrying about getting done for pace allowing their fullbacks to push up with confidence - it was the same against Cardiff. That said, we didn't collapse, even when Dunk got sent off.. all the goals were horribly scruffy, but whereas in other games we have got away with it, last night we just didn't. Mid-week away games can turn up these results sometimes, that its hasn't happened before this season is the remarkable thing. No need to panic in the same way that a win last night would not have been the signal to assume it was all done..
Loved CH post-match interview - very straight forward and honest.

Me not going to argue with you about that

strong and stable with me, or...
You lost me here...
Prior to his injury at Preston, we won 10 out of 12, and kept 7 clean sheets...Bruno was poor during that period!?

With you....there were a few games prior to his missing his first game....but i'm putting that down to his playing wth an injury

I am baffled as to why more fans have not picked up on this!!!!, with 2 very slow strikers on the pitch we basically got overrun - they're too slow to close down effectively. Really needs a complete re-think for Sunday as the same will happen again if we start with those 2 upfront again. Go 5 in midfield if need be

Most of NSC had worked out that Murray and Hemed as a front two was not a good front two before a ball was kicked. Hopefully Akpom proves good or Baldock recovers and can play more than about 5 games without getting injured. It could make a big difference to our results on the run in. Play Hemed and Murray or some half arsed experiment with any of the wingers in the no 10 position and we will struggle to keep our form up..imo

I agree but he didn't really create anything was limited to side and back passing.

relative to the standards he set earlier in the season, I think he had been struggling before last night - someone else said he had been playing whilst injured, and that may be the reason, I wasn't aware of that. The wins are great, the season is fantastic, but just not convinced that we have been playing that well recently - Not singling Bruno out last night, it was a dire performance all round, but still think it's OK to look beyond the results. For me, if we don't dominate the midfield, then we are vulnerable out wide, and Bruno, at his age, is a little more vulnerable than most in what has been a great back 4.You lost me here...
