Abysmal. As it has been all season. How many times do we hit the 1st man or make the wrong decision.

We’re not aggressive enough in our attack. Teams not up for a scrap.

We stop the ball dead when controlling a pass. It’s inevitable we cut back and let teams gain shape. We are so one dimensional it’s untrue. Zero fluidity in our game play.
We like to fanny about with it a lot at the back..but then again so do other teams who get 11 behind the ball.
Massive changes needed. Wouldn’t care if parker was sacked. We aren’t anywhere near a premier league team

When we do get a ball in no one is attacking it.
Sacking him wouldn’t solve the fact we have no quality in the final third.

We aren't in the Premier League, that bridge doesn't need crossing until we are.

Last season is history though, the job in hand is to try and get back and you only need beat those in your League.
I agree we definitely need to rebuild if we go up and looking around, there isn't a team in the current Championship with Premier League quality.
As a Club we had an opportunity but blew it by allowing the Manager too much money to massage his egotistic vision.

Back to the topic, we are abysmal at corners, abysmal at shooting from distance( Roberts showed against Boro that shooting pays off) and abysmal linking midfield to attack. Defence solid midfield very good and fluid, but up front oh dear.

The main issue is tempo and lack of movement. The ball just gets horseshoed around and it’s so slow that the opposition are back in position. No one takes a man on or moves into dangerous spaces.

Letting Zaroury leave was an insane decision without a ready made replacement
He could beat a man for fun ,shoot and score Also he could deliver good crosses that inevitably led to goals

I've been saying that for weeks. We don't look bad when we up the pace. Watched a bit of Leeds v Boro and Sunderland v Stoke tonight and three of those were playing high tempo attacking football.

I’ve complained about our lack of quality crossing for years but now it is made worse by only having one man in the box who is double teamed, front and back, so can’t even make a run across his defender.
We would actually be better of if our main striker started his run from outside the box and the cross was made to pass between the 6yd box and the penalty spot. Just something to attack.

The cross?
