I solely blame Ross. He picks this pointless formation and his negative approach feeds through to the players. Clueless as a manager.

If anything he's lucky the players dig out a performance once freed from the shackles to get games back in the second half.

A pointless formation that JE started to pick last year and you didn't complain then. The step up is just to great for the majority of players.

How.many.more.times

JE used it to see us over the line, to protect what we had due to injuries and no other options with a decimated CM.

It is *not* the formation you use to go out and win games. Especially when you can't organise a defence for toffee.

You don't put 8 at the back when you go 1-0 up at home. Second half performance when we've gone out and attacked shows that in a nutshell.

Harrold MOTM for his contribution, again should've been utilised weeks ago.

We have enough attacking talent to get a few goals. We have scored more goals than 1st place Exeter this season.
Problem is we just look like giving away goals every game, and that is what counts. Worst defence in the League and it seems that all the keeper and full-back places in the team are nailed down.

Think the way we decided to set up cost us the game in the end, it was winnable but we surrendered the initiative in the first half.

Thank god a new manager is on the way but can't afford to get it wrong.

Absolutely this. As soon as they're freed from the negative tactics we seem to have enough to get some goals. Leaking them for fun at the back though needs sorting asap.
