We've not got the best squad in the league, but we've not got any major reasons to complain. Last season, I found it hard to criticise Redfearn when we had no actual wingers at the club at all. When your team is very narrow and slow, it's hard to break teams down and it leaves you very one dimensional. You can't look at a position this season though and say we are absolutely threadbare there.
We have 3 wingers now, all with different styles of play, and 2 proven goalscorers up front. We should be creating and scoring, especially at home. The pressure is on for Rosler to get us playing better, because he's got the best attacking options we've had for a few seasons.

We've looked clueless every home game this season, relegation form.
We have good enough players to be turning teams over, so many average teams this year, Birmingham had one really good player yesterday. We should have picked them off.
Honesty don't see where goals will come from with these tactics. It's horrible to watch too.

You could make a case that we have the worst CB's in the division, and our goalkeeper is exceptionally poor.
Though, the manager must take blame for Silvestri. He doesn't mean to make these mistakes, he also doesn't pick himself ahead of a far better goalkeeper in Turnbull.
Every other position, we're solid.

So far, I put it down to poor management and you could say a new-ish squad gelling.
Buckley, Dallas, Antenucci, Wood and so far, Botaka, can all score and create in this division.
But for some reason, we're setting of defensively, with a team that can't defend.

Buckley was a huge disappointment.
Looked slow and uninterested

Yeah was surprised at Buckley. Maybe just nit enough, but if that's the case, why start him?

He didn't look fit to me.
Why did Rosler immediately start him, but wait 3 weeks to play Botaka. Inconsistent, he should be coming on from the bench.
Botaka has looked dangerous when he's played. Direct and skilful. I'm sure he'll be a frustrating player, but he's a live wire who can do something.
Did well at borough, looked good yesterday. Start the lad.

Botaka looked really good. Absolutely a starter.
Him, Ant and Cook should be automatic.
