No clean sheets so far and although we have points it just doesn’t feel reliable enough of a base to build on.
Last minute winners and games we could have lost bar far bigger margins, we feel at a sliding doors moment where we could slide down the table and lose confidence if we don’t build a solid base to nick points.
Hull being the example too far one way, but I feel if we can have a solid base we have attacking players who can nick a goal to turn draws into wins.
4231 with the 2 attacking fullbacks we have I feel leaves us too far open in games where we get played through and feel an easy team to play against.
I wonder if we can go with 523 to allow Davis and Outtara to do their best work whilst not leaving us short at the back.
That would leave Ensciso, Maeda (Fatawu, Philogene, Clarke as back up) behind Emerson or Flemming.
I worry if we play as we have we just won’t have enough, and this may be the international break we need the “adaptable” O’Neil to adapt to survive this season. |  |

Mick Mills discussed this on Final Whistle and felt that this system had a failing in the sense that we don't end up with two wide attackers. |  | | |

Our love of inverted forwards is our downfall
Emmerson has shown he can get his head on crosses yet we barely get the ball in for him.
Its all tip tap get wide invert lose ball. Try again. |  |

Another thing I've noticed this season, is the times Emersonn does get his head on the ball, nobody is close and running off him anticipating the flick. I'm consistently bemused by this. |  | | |

I’m sure Fatawu started the season taking his man on and putting balls into the box. Would love to see philogebe do that but like clockwork he cuts inside. So predictable. There’s not a lot of imagination about our play of late. |  |

Daizen puts the ball in great areas but never anyone on the end of it. | |

If you need to stop being played through then we need three in midfield. Then start from there. |  |

I think a change of system would help our cause , has to be radical imo, something like 532 , the emphasis has to be on keeping it secure at the back. At the minute we have 4 attacking players in the team who create very little. It is a case now of keeping it as is or try to do something about dropping into bottom 3 |  | | |

O'Neil is clueless he was never the man for the Ipswich job, massive joke.

100% agree, why isn't anyone whipping crosses in the opposition box? Instead they choose to pass it backwards or cut inside only to face a wall of defenders.
If we have taken more pot shots at goal we may have 1. a chance that one of our forwards are there to score (like what Chappers and Burns did all those seasons ago) or 2. take a lucky deflection and go in
We had 100 more passes than Bournemouth all game but the majority were sideways and backwards passing to nowhere. In contrast, Bournemouth were more than happy to move the ball up the pitch every time they had the ball.
Possession don't win you games, goals do. | | | |

We picked a guy who was as wedded to 3-2-4-1 (or nuanced versions of) as McKenna did. It did not work last time in the Prem, so the thinking was it must be that the quality was not good enough rather than the formation not being suitable. So we have upgraded personnel with the same formation and it still is not working well. The philososphy is wrong rather than the manager, (provided he has the in-built flexibility to change it) | | | |

Spot on. I’d be open to seeing Leif up in the LM slot so we have a natural left footer to put balls in from that flank. It would then stop the inverting that leads to losing possession which in turn often leaves us open as Leif will have overlapped from that LB slot.

Just one thing to consider with the system. We have had Lukic missing for the last three games who has been one of our best players this season. We have missed his bite in midfield which I feel has contributed to the problems.
Outside of that, I do agree that we seem to be easily over-loaded on transitions. The issue is that we are playing Enciso as a high pressing 10 so both central midfield players are exposed. |  | | |

We weren’t easy to play through yesterday, Bournemouth won because they turned the ball over in crucial positions. They barely created from open play, maybe one each half, and having gone one up were able to use their organisational abilities, which were superb, to frustrate us. Let’s not over complicate this, we make too many individual errors that result in goals |  | | |

On several occasions yesterday, Philogene turned back inside and looked to set himself for the cross, only to then pass it backwards or sideways.
Compare that to Enciso who is the master of the inswinging cross to the back post and it is something we should be using and learning from. Flemming is also a good header of the ball and an aerial threat, so I am with you that we do not cross it anywhere near enough. | | | |
