Yes it’s a worrying development and if it’s not addressed anytime soon, I shudder to think what the fallout will be! |  |

Won't somebody please think of the poor, unfortunate souls of Twitter who, after the last three games, are reduced to beating their pets or masturbating whilst crying? |  |

Change of tactics and Cameron back. |
Yeah I think an in form Cameron and an in form Amos gives us a lot of what we've been missing - good experience, decision making, decent passing, height with Cameron, and Amos is great at closing down space - just needs to keep developing his confidence and he could be a huge asset in the second half of the season.
Add Eze and Bright ahead of that and it's not a bad combination at all.
Also having 4 at the back with 1 or 2 in front to cover means we're much harder to get behind. |  | | |

Eze and Bright also worked harder at winning the ball back than their counterparts: both tackled four times to Bela and Maghoma's two each. BOS attempted 24 ground duels, with a 12 success rate and Eze 12(10). Maghoma and Bela managed 10(4) and 10(7j respectively. Ebs also won an aerial duel and did an interception; Bright also won an aerial duel to their counterparts' zero.
It really showed to me as we didn't get hurt so much yesterday when we did lose the ball because we worked hard at getting it back. Which in turn lessened the pressure on our defenders and goalie. |  | | |

I think it shows how hard the team is working for each other. In previous years we've seen players jogging or walking back into position when the ball has left their 'third', as if to say that it isn't their problem any more. We rarely see this any longer and it's clearly a change in perspective.
Wells works hard to close down space, as does Hugill and it really sets the tone for the rest of the side. | |

I think just reverting to a back four, Hall and Leistner combining nicely and Cameron sat in front is working well for now.
I'm still not convinced by Kane, but he's helped keep two consecutive clean sheets so deserves to stay in there. |  |

Thought Kane played quite well actually. Showing a disciplined side I wasn’t sure he had. Staying on his feet, not diving in, keeping his position well and protecting the centre backs. Alright a few crosses got past him but that was mostly down to good play by their wingers and with Leistner and Hall in this form it’s not a problem.
Cut and apply all the above for Manning. [Post edited 12 Dec 2019 12:16]

That's also a credit to the coaching staff that 2 x 21 year olds know that they have to do the defensive side of the game as well as having a license to get forward.
Seems like BOS and Eze are taking that on board. |  |

Absolutely. In fairness I think our previous two managers also both highlighted that they needed to add defensive duties to their game to really raise their level. | | | |
