Any danger of changing shape at 3-2, bringing on an extra midfielder and putting a stop to the end-to-end basketball game?! Or did we just naively think we could let their forwards have 20-30 yards of space time and again and we'd just outscore them?
At 3-2, take Burns off, bring Neil on and play a 4-3-2-1, with Clarke and Mehmeti behind Azon and Neil helping to clog up the middle and thwart their overloads. It was clear as day that it needed sorting. |  | | |  |

Their forwards being in space wasn't necessarily causing that much of a problem. Us passing directly to them was. | | | |

As bad as the defending was today we were over ran in midfield all day, especially that first half
Seemed a little arrogant today from KMcK , a change of formation would of definitely helped |  |

Basketball game is a great description btw. I've never seen us look so open. That's where you need leadership and discipline which we lacked massively today |  | | |

Just made the same point on another thread. Just seem so passive to how the game is flowing. Should have take being one up at that stage and flattened the game. |  | | |

Yep. They were able to get at us far too easily today.
Though, as mentioned by others, our defence made so many errors that we kept gifting them openings.
The combination of those 2 things doomed us today. |  |

That is exactly how we should be approaching away games. Always overrun in midfield and against teams like Wrexham and Sheff United that are tough and tenacious you can't be wide open like we are too many times. | | | |

May be arrogance. May be too dogmatic. Either way not enough from McKenna. Overall not been good enough from McKenna all season. He is on 5 Million a season. We should expect more. It will be interesting what Ashton is thinking. Is this team a longer term project? Because it is no way near a good enough team at present. Yes we will still get in the play-offs but what if we meet a Hull or Wrexham who do a job on us like today. Would McKenna keep his job then? This team at present is light years away from the Premier League. Is that enough progress from McKenna. I don't think so. [Post edited 21 Feb 17:22]

I would say the period at 3-2 is when we had most control tbf, but then concede a shocking goal and have to chase it again. A day of individual errors. |  | | |

This. Stupid individual errors gifted goals to them and put them in the ascendancy again. | | | |

Great Post. Always been a problem but some will tell you his changes in shape are subtle and that's why we can't see them. Personally, I don't think they're there. |  |

We can't break down teams like PNE and Oxford who play in a low block
When teams come at us like Boro, Sheff Utd and Wrexham, especially away from home, we get outmuscled and bullied in midfield, and our defenders look like rabbits in the headlights
And the highest paid manager in the entire EFL can't fix the problem with the most expensive squad
Underperforming? Pathetic?
You decide. | | | |

I don't feel like we ever had genuine control. That initial period was largely due to stoppages/breaks in play. | | | |
