Van Hecke at RB doesn't work, he looks like a tug boat trying to turn and Igor's positioning is League One at best. Shocking lineup and can't even blame match congestion after the winter break. Just hoping this puts some fire in the players for Saturday
He's been outstanding at CB. Why have we moved him? Why now? We haven't had wingers for ages. Wheretf has this three at the back thing come from!?
 














Great timing for me NOT, went big with 16 different bets on Albion and already 15 are down ( winning both halves, least fouls, least bookings, most shots and shots on target etc) just need us to score a mere 4 goals to save one bet!

Entertaining watching everyone rushing around trying to find THE scapegoat. It's another Everton or Villa and we coped after those.
Webster has been atrocious - I'm surprised he's getting off so lightly.

Many many years ago playing for the Scouts at Hove Park we were 3-0 down at half-time. Part of my pep-talk was 'If they can score three in a half, then so can we'. And we did!!





(we lost 6-3, but no matter)

RDZ hasn’t been backed and this evening is the consequence. Reality is we are significantly weaker than we were last season and we’ve been punching above our weight.

That said, I really do question RDZ at times, the constant changing of keepers isn’t working, his personnel changes are questionable and you’ve got a young player in Ferguson that is quite obviously disillusioned at the moment playing second fiddle to Danny Welbeck.

Let’s not take away the deserved credit for Luton and the way they’ve set up, but as I’ve said im afraid this has been coming.

RDZ will be gone in the summer and if we keep failing to replace these quality players we are losing and not reinvesting that into the squad then we are seriously in the shit.

Just read a couple of his comments over transfers and directing the questioning towards Bloom, never a good sign.

Very much a manager v board situation, I can see him walking.

Two and a half games since we scored a goal in the league?..... not much sign of one yet...

As an aside, as mentioned here, I agree that RDZ will be off, maybe before the summer,.... I can't see that we will have a dynamic replacement of the RDZ calibre lined up, I hope I am wrong.
 


One question for the statisticians, have we ever come back from 3-0 down at half time to win?
Also, has DeZerbi ever made a tactical change before half time? We're back again to discussing his lack of plan b
