    Cauley touched it in the box after making a nice diagonal run.

    Get him up front for **** sake.

    The manager is clueless and while ever he's playing players out of position, in a diamond formation and signing s hite from austria we arent going anywhere. This strikeforce has been totally inept for weeks now and he continues to select the same players in the same formation.

    One touch in the box for Cauley in 49 minutes of football. 49 minutes of football that we desperately needed to score in. When the 2 blokes in front of him have been anonymous.

    Shambolic Mr Struber - you deserve every criticism coming your way tonight. Your beloved diamond does not work with the personnel we have. Our best 2 players are Woodrow and Mowatt. You've taken away all of Mowatt's attacking threat by making him the base of the diamond. You've taken away the threat of our best striker by playing him at the tip of the diamond. You continually stick the left footed Thomas/Styles out on the right, forcing them to check back onto the their favoured foot, taking away any width we may have and causing the centre of the park to be congested.

    You've brought on a small child as cover at full back, forcing our poor right back to go to left back, which in turn means he has to cut in at every opportunity. This further contests the middle of the park. We have an experienced championship left back playing U23 football. We have a tank of a right back (who admittedly isn't great defensively) who may as well take his wife shopping on a Saturday. Pinillos and Cavare or Ludevig and Williams? Come on now.

    Just play 4-4-2 for God sake. 2 wingers supplying chances to Woodrow and Chaplin. With a defensive minded player next to Mowatt in the middle- allowing him to focus on attack.

    Regards.
