He found the winning formula and he’s changed the fucker ! We have never played well with a flat back 4

 

[herra soul mob]

I’d drop a player for a foul throw

john kay would never have played

When you say regardless of what happens, you do recognise he’s been dreadful today yes?

There has been 4 or 5 worse and not much said. It's pathetic.

 

[FalkirkMackem]

This performance is nothing short of a disgrace to be honest. Every time a large away following is present they collapse. Our midfield is absolutely gutless and feeble.

We've needed physicality in midfield for years and STILL don't have it

 

[chuckyroll]

To be fair, the vast majority of our best performances this season came playing that formation.

It's all well and good talking about how strong the squad is, but the reality is we've had so many injuries all season we've rarely been able to put our strongest side out with anything approaching consistency.

When we have the injuries was when he had no options hence how we done better. He's out if his depth as a manager always has been always will be

 

[TeamOfTalents]

Dan Neil may as well not be on pitch in games like this.

 

[The Situation]

Today needs to turn around, not good so far.

People will no doubt say it's pants pissing, but it's almost impossible to see us going up automatically if we lose today and Rotherham win.

 

[Veteran2]

Anytime anyone says someone is putting in no effort is talking complete shite, generally.

Like usual on here, it’s way overboard reaction.

Plenty of effort. Quality of final ball???

 

[wakey]

Back 4 with 2 attacking full backs is absolute kamikaze stuff

 

[Safc88]

Get roberts and clarke on at half time

We have to win no matter what otherwise its playoffs

 

[Alcoholic_Author]

Not having his best game but Stewart is such a good player for this level mind, he has the lot, feel sorry for him playing with some of these today.

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

No consistency from a LJ team.
Won't go up automatically playing like this.

Awful. Shaky at the back, we get the ball in midfield and there is no idea what to do with it in their half. We don’t even look remotely like scoring a goal

 

[royal4545]

Yet another big half time talk for LJ. Getting all too often this.

Change of formation hopefully

 

[rey mysterio]

I’d be dragging Evans Embleton and Neil off at half time here. Utter wet cornflakes today.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

He found the winning formula and he’s changed the fucker ! We have never played well with a flat back 4

Trying to fit square pegs in round holes

 

[hallix]

Evans only cool head on the pitch.

 

[rudd]

If it stays like this i‘d be tempted to hoy a new winger on at halftime.

Be tempted to bring on Hume for Neil and push Winchester to midfield with Evans. Neil offers little defensively and we've got players in the 4 who can create, if we can get the ball.
Then make some attacking changes.

 

[Daffy]

Cracking away following again & another shit performance

 

[ontap]

4 at the back , killing us. Winchester having a mare and Doyle really struggling , LJ needs to f***ing switch to a back 3 ffs.

 

[Ale taster]

Automatic promotion is as good as wrapped up for Rotherham and Wigan

Certainly gonna take more than a few 'twists and turns' I keep hearing are going to happen. Won't matter a jot with us playing like this.
Not even close to being competitive for an automatic on this showing.
