We are missing his forward runs which push the opposing fullbacks back (+ overlapping with Leo)  - hence why Coyne and the other hack are getting forward and even Todd is pushing up.

Also Hearfield is playing crap because he's at left back which has thrown out the entire defence

Get Manny off, Greenacre on. Do it at half time, not 60 mins.Drop Ifill and Leo back into midfield roles. We are trying to play the same as we have the last few weeks which is f**king stupid because we have no right back to get forward and support the attack and Hearfield is playing sh*te.

How about a left back the can defend on the left, that has a left foot, that doesn't hit long balls crossfield all day and can actually play it down the line on the deck for his winger. Neither of our wide backs have that ability today, and it is showing.

Agree nothing happening on the wing going forward from defence ,and Bertos is having a very average game weak crosses and half hearted long balls all round very disapointing performance so far!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

somethings gotta happen at halftime. Bertos and ifill need to be defending so bring on Greenacre maybe for a cm. we gotta do something

Hearfield is playing horribly and his slip for the 2nd goal was almost unforgivable but he's playing in a completely unfamilair position. Ricki's fault, for mine. He made a mistake not moving Manny back.

why does no-one WANT the ball. The mid-fielders should be yelling "give me the f**kin ball"  then turn and distribute. We are standing around almost hiding in the f**kin corner type attitude, and when we do get the ball we lump it forward to Dadi who is nursing a head injury and is being marked by 2 very good CB in the air.

f**k this sh*t.

it is f**king embarrassing to watch.

get Caceres and Greenacre on and drop Lia, hearfield.

Ok I agree with that as you obviously aren't talking about Lochhead

Perhaps when ricki said,

"Pass the ball into a crossing position, then cross it to Dadi"

They missed the "Pass the ball" part.

Or we need to find another left back to cover him when he's injured.
 
Not a Lochhead hater, but feel he sometimes needs some competition to keep his performances up to par. (Last season especially)

Ricki better do something or this is going to get ugly (uglier?) very quickly. At the very worst he could take off Lia or Brown, push McKain into midfield, stick Manny at LB and Hearfield at RB with Siggy and Dura in the middle and get Dadi off and get Greenacre on.

JUST DO SOMETHING, RICKI.

Not sure which are worse the half time ads or the NEGATIVITY in some of the comments above...?
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

don't know who should be coming on, but Ricki has got to make a tough call now and do something.

Caceres could be game changing. Ifill and Bertos need to be defending
