Gut says we do this on purpose as part of their development, didn't McDermott confirm this a few years back too??Even worse, Hinds at LB so both full backs are playing out of position.

My mate was there sent me a text and said it was one of the worst games he's seen us play for a couple of years! Very little football played, sounded like we played down to their level?I caught about half of the match; very disappointing.
White did okay, as did Tanganga, but there wasn't a lot else. Tracey, TOB and Maghoma were abject, Roles really poor too.
He did, but I think that would be a very generous interpretation.Gut says we do this on purpose as part of their development, didn't McDermott confirm this a few years back too??
Just too many poor to average players in the team IMO.My mate was there sent me a text and said it was one of the worst games he's seen us play for a couple of years! Very little football played, sounded like we played down to their level?
We do it quite frequently and consistently though, albeit does seem to be almost the same positions and/or personnel at times.He did, but I think that would be a very generous interpretation.
Didn't see the game but from what I've seen of this group bar a few individuals would agree with that.Just too many poor to average players in the team IMO.

Probably correct, but also not helped by having only one realistic forward in Roles played as a striker rather than AM with pretty much no support - Tracey just shouldn't be in the squad and Oakley Boothe is a CM not an AM.
So no real attack, just a chance we might get a goal and hold on. Not a sensible strategy as it only puts all the strain on our cm's and defence.
Absoloutley correct and Roles came off injured as did Eyoma . So not sure if either will be fit for fridays game against Chelsea . Roles needed to be attacking mid so that we had some creativity , but instead he was left up top with very little service , lots of useless running as never received the ball , and when he did receive couldn’t do a lot with it as is not a natural striker . Again maghomas shooting was not to the required standard . Oakley booth doesn’t always seem switched on . Tracy tried hard but not good enough . Dinzeyi came on and was poor. White did well , considering his age and I do think we wanted most of the play to go through him , so the set up was probably for his benifit . As we will probably do with him as we did with skipp, which is very good for him but not all the other players around him .Probably correct, but also not helped by having only one realistic forward in Roles played as a striker rather than AM with pretty much no support - Tracey just shouldn't be in the squad and Oakley Boothe is a CM not an AM.

Just got back from the under 23's. We had a player sent off so it ruined the hame. Held out well though and finished 1-1.
Harvey white is some player.
Yes, Tanganga should have been loaned out by now. He's probably stagnating in the u23 team.Bit of a mess in all honesty. It makes me want to snap pencils when I think of all of the wasted talent. Why on earth is Tanganga not out at a League Two club getting valuable experience, for example.
