We've lost one. It happens. Get over it.

At least, for the first time since Allardyce, we have a manager capable of working out why we lost and acting on that information.

Is that opinion based on the the way he’s resolved the issue of us gifting nearly every team we play a goal head start so swiftly?
 

Just watched the highlights now and I'd say our biggest problem was in defence - 2 really poor goals.

Get an extra CH in to a back 3?

People are saying this simy because he's made a few substitutions which have changed games. but then he's got the squad and the players to do it at this level.

I'd like to see us be more organised at the back especially from set pieces, not lose our composure in getting involved with stuff we shouldn't be and trying to keep focus on our own game and not conceding first and quickly as if he as we have been.

people are criticising those who are being even slightly critical as if it's over the top, yet the signs have been there since the Charlton game. whereas the evidence the manager is capable of seeing things and making changes to address those things haven't been in evidence as often, because those things keep recurring.

we've had a good start but this is the real test and these things need addressing before any claims about the manager negative or positive really mean anything.

we've looked awful at the back from the off, at set pieces but also we seem to allow sides to run at the back four too easily, so maybe also a midfield problem. God only knows how we haven't conceded more from open play.
 
Worst performance of the season yesterday. We just didn't look up for it at all. Poor defensively, particularly set pieces or any ball into the box.

What annoyed me most was the countless aimless balls just fired long with a number just going out for goal kicks. I don't think we have anyone in the side capable of winning a header. I don't think Wyke won one ball played up to him before he went off and Maja can't be relied on for that sort of service. We brought McGeady on 2nd half and yet we still just fired long balls, completely bypassing the midfield, forward to nobody every time we had possession.

I know we often play diagonals from Baldwin/Power from the centre of the pitch out wide (ie v Scunthorpe where we scored and could have had another) so seems to be Ross' tactical approach but yesterday every player was at it from all over the pitch. Just pure punts. I can't decide if it was tactical or not as it hindered us every time.

The quality of opposition is generally dire, if this has been in the Championship we would have lost nearly every game.

Charlton, Oxford, Wimbledon and Fleetwood all had chances to put us to bed at 0-1 and they didn’t.

Admittedly I didn't see yesterdays game or the Wimbledon one, but in certain games opposition have been wasteful in front of goal I agree.
