VegasSeagull 12:12pm Sat 20 Feb 16Rosy on the bench, and with this line up I can see a tactical change coming around the hour mark, depending on the score line. If 0-0 Rosy on for Calde, Crofts gets pulled and a striker comes on, 4-4-2 to try and snatch the win.

VegasSeagull 12:28pm Sat 20 Feb 16The line up against Hull screamed out what the intentions were, grab a good point away from home off of a top opponent. Today's line up has me a little puzzled, unless it's all about giving Calde some cover.

Uckfield Seagull 12:50pm Sat 20 Feb 16First time I am annoyed with Chris. We are a better team, we have better players, yet we have gone for a point, why are we not playing 2 up front and showing how much better we are, very poor not to try for 3 points

WiseOldSeagull 12:54pm Sat 20 Feb 16We have started very very slowly. The midfield is quite disfunctional. No sense of urgency like we have had in previous games. Quite puzzling.

Major Bloodboil 12:56pm Sat 20 Feb 16I can't believe the side that has been chosen. Crofts is pedestrian and Skalak is not a patch on Murphy at present. Although Stockdale has been good this year either he or Dunk are prone to making costly errors, and this is another one to add to list. Come on CH shake it up.

Your looking good dutch 1:03pm Sat 20 Feb 164 of the bench I would have played. Why no Hemed and Murphy. Also kayal and rose. Calderon looks a bit ragged today. Team look lazy and slow.
2 very poor goals conceded by mistakes again.
Very negative by the Boss today. Poor formation. Never played this way all season.

MikeTheMan 1:11pm Sat 20 Feb 16Absurd team selection and what a thrashing. By all means let's get behind the team but, blinkers off, does anyone seriously think we are a potential Premiership team. We have absolutely nothing going forward, the midfield is an absolute shambles and I've seen under 10 teams with a lot more idea of how to defend than our back four. This is truly appalling, it's embarrassing to watch. Cardiff have won every single 50-50 ball and most of our midfielders and defenders are just not tackling, the Cardiff players are just running through us. And they can shoot.

Albion In Staffs 1:30pm Sat 20 Feb 16This is no more negative than the formation he picked on Tuesday when we all hailed a competent draw. it's the players letting us down not the system. Three personnel changes and the result is dismal.
Even so, he needs to change it!

logicaltopical 1:34pm Sat 20 Feb 16Negative line up, leads to negative possession, leads to negative passing around the back, leads to Dunk and Stockdale errors. If we do the same against Bristol, I'm afraid all those previous comments re CH management style will be proved right. UTA.

Charlie Baker's Cap 2:22pm Sat 20 Feb 16I'm not one to stick the knife in just because of one bad result, but let's face a couple of things....
We needed quality cover for Bong - Rosenior can do it but Calde cannot.
Goldson and Dunk are young and relatively quick - but they've been shown up badly and that would happen week in week out in the Premier (a few teams already thinking "we need a Vardy"). Greer will surely be past it next season.
From the moment that Baldock went on, we had no chance - plays too deep, cannot link up with the main striker. Doesn't seem to know where the goal is.
Hemed - dropped off in form for four months!
Crofts and Sidwell - not the answer for next season. We need to spend just to add a third midfielder.
Bruno - not a good defender - we need better next season.
Who does that leave? Knockaert, Lualua, Skalak, Bong, Goldson, Dunk (but they need one quality central defender to lead either of them), Kayal, Stephens, Rosenior, March, Stockdale. I don't see any point in retaining any others for next season. Chequebook time!

keswick 2:34pm Sat 20 Feb 16The only response is to go to Bristol on Tuesday and get three points but please do pick a team that will do it. Going to Hull and changing the system to get a well deserved point made sense. But we cannot adopt this policy for every away game because it will backfire. However between now and the end of the season there will be other results such as for all the teams at the top. Bouncing back is imperative to ensure that at the very minimum we keep our play off spot.
