We'd look like Barca in league 1 too, levels

Yeah, I’m just getting in first to save my posts needing to be altered again to proclaim Scum awesomeness.. I didn’t watch the f**kers, and I can maybe see them falling away when the going gets tough in the winter.

Key I thought was quite poor today
Not just his defensive contributions but also going forward

There were a number of times where he massively undercooked a pass to Ronald, and not just slightly but I mean by a huge amount. There was also how often he received the ball in an attacking position only to go back and take the safe option

Looks very short of the confidence he had when he first came, that’s for shewer.

All well and good reactively shouting at Key but what we are massively missing is a proper skipper who grabs this team and leads us onto the front foot.

We seem rudderless without a proper El Capitan like Matty G calling the shots, controlling our core, driving and protecting our spine, dictating, orchestrating, architecting front foot progressive Swansea type football.

Most especially with a sub-par manager’s assistant in the dug out.

Pardon?

Pardon?

“No brainer”

Sheehan really needs to sort out our defence from set peices and crosses.

Their goal today was a half hearted attempt by Ronald.. their big CB is being picked up Inoussa and the Burgess Stemenic and Vip between them can't defend the back post

Noticed Cabango going mad with Key a few times today

So he should... Key lost possession many times trying to be clever. Cabango didn't have his best game either apart from that goal line defending

When last did an opposition goalkeeper have a really good game against us?
I ask this because every game they have nothing to do. We score some nice goals (about 1 a game) and the opposition keeper spends the rest of the game spectating.
There's something wrong.

Yes there is, it's Sheehan way of playing football, get in front and then take your foot off the gas .

Let's be honest, think defence is the least of our problems at the moment. Only 1 goal conceded last week and today, it's at the other end of the pitch we have our worries. Creating very very little and once again today another pretty boring home performance where we just had 2 shots on target in 90 mins. With our lack of creativity and goals it's inevitable that puts pressure on the defence to continually keep clean sheets.

We are not being creative enough because Sheehan wants the midfield to be working hard.
Issue he has, club have gone in hard with midfielders to play the system......we do have options though, luckily.

As soon as they had that free kick in first-half injury time, I turned to my mate and said, "Ah well."
