I’d just like to know wtf happened to our team’s ability and confidence after the international break?
It’s bizarre - the unbeaten run, solid defence, scoring freely, then BAM. Nothing. I don’t get it…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Constantly conceding early, has absolutely killed us.
Side is perfect for counter attacking.
Scored first once in last 8 games
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reckon our strategy for playoffs will be to sit back hold tight and hope for a counter. Think we’ll be happy to give possession to the opposition - bit like Boro second half
Should add that Farke, as I mentioned a few threads ago, has relied far too heavily on young players who have never been close to a 46 game season, in arguably the toughest and most attritional league in world football - yes that was a corker Farke.

Compared to Leicester and Ipswich who had some massive experience in their team, they were able to rally and finish the job.
That Stoke loss looks pivotal. Farke rotated midweek, gave a start to Anthony, Gnonto, Gruev and we were awful and lost. Since then he’s not rotated at all and these players have been worked into the ground.
I must stop finding fault in others especially a certain German individual who dresses like Johnny Cash... he's doing what he thinks best and it's a tough high pressure job which I wouldn't want that responsibility constantly scrutinised by keyboard clever d1kz that think they
could do better.........BUT????
Was it my imagination that when Joseph was finally
brought on he was used as a winger cutting in from the left side???? I mean wtf is the point if when you have an out and out Striker at your disposal but you don't play him in that position?
Please someone tell me that was at the game yesterday that that didn't happen and I can continue my forgive and forget, we all make mistakes, be nice and what will be philosophy without questioning whether our head coach has actually been cast under some hypnotic weird spell after reading, "Top tips on how to succeed in soccer
management" by Jesse Marsch.
Find threads like these a bit silly. Yes, the squad isn't PL quality. Yes, we will have to sign a lot of players. This is the case for every side that gets promoted from the PL. Even Leicester will have 4 or 5 holes in their first eleven that will need filling upon promotion. Ipswich don't have a single PL level player in their squad.
We also won't go up, so its all a bit moot. Some of the players who chastise here are clearly good enough to be part of the team in a second championship campaign. Firpo, Bamford etc. Yet you call Anthony a Prem level player on no real basis. Very odd.

Think Joseph was playing the role Rutter played first half of the season. Leading the line and doing the legwork that Piroe can't, with him playing in behind.

100% Agree.
Bit silly. Very odd.
