- Proper wingers.
- A dynamic creative attacking midfielder in the middle.
- A forward who thrives off crosses / late runs from the wingers pull backs.

Here frigging here.

I cannot stand playing with 3 Centre halves, our width provided solely by (despite their undoubted usefulness) players like Bidwell who cannot beat a man. Happened over and over again last night- get it out wide to Bidwell or Lati, who then proceed to pass the ball backwards because they're under too much pressure to cross and cannot beat a man to save their lives.

Early signs Laird might be an upgrade in that department, but I'd much rather we went with wingers than wing backs anyway. From what I saw last night I'd be quite happy to chuck Laird in at RM or wide of a front 3, even. Only player Stoke seemed genuinely scared of when he had the ball at his feet.

That's what he did last night with Piroe though, right?


That's what we did once Martin had realised how badly he had f*cked up with his starting XI. Before that Lowe was up top on his own.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I think we are going to have to put up with it though mate.
Martin wants to play 2 WBs high up the field.
Laird is defo going to be doing that instead of Lati from now on I believe.
Looks like Lowe going to come in (or someone in the same ilk), to do the same on the other side.
We are going to play 3 CBs, so we'd better get used to it.

And he had the courage to hold his hands up and admit he got it wrong, and make a sub after half an hour.
I like that in a manager.
I'm not one for slagging Cooper off, but I'm guessing he would have made the change after about 75mins
