Poyet's failure to sign a target man is a farce

Vicente, Bruno, Crofts and CMS are 4 of our best players. Any team would experience a dip in results with those 4 out. I don't buy the argument we've overachieved so far. Are Blackpool being found out? I suspect they'll be there or thereabouts come the end of the season too.

This isn't the first time that you've waded into a thread filled with the bayings of a select group of the scantily brain-celled who can't wait to throw their toys out of the proverbial every time we don't win.

There's no room on here Sir for your cool logic, be off with you.

Whatever anyone's opinions of individual players the truth is we have a very competitive squad at this level.

As I see it the last two games we have been architects of our own shortcomings. Both teams came to play the classic away tactic of sit back behind the ball and nick a goal.

In these circumstances our centre backs need to drive forwards and commit a midfielder before passing, we need to switch the ball quickly left to right to upset the teams shape, we need to run at players to create spaces and commit then to move.

Unfortunately we played in a very slow pedestrian manner in both games and took far too many touches instead of moving the ball quickly. The outcome of this is every time we are in the final third the opposition is comfortably set to defend and we are reduced to passing in unproductive triangles before losing possession

We already have the players to break through both birmingham and Ipswich but we need them to show more movement and speed up the passing to break up the defensive shape these team set up with.

And we did for the first ten minutes and when buckley came on. Between that the tempo was far to slow and our attacks were painfully predictable and easily defended

Exactly this. I have read 130 posts on this subject and was going to post myself but thankfully this just about sums up my thoughts. Thanks, remember we are 3rd and for goodness sake.....Trust in Gus!

That made me laugh out loud.
