Huddersfield were playing far better than we are at the moment and moved the ball with much more urgency and through the lines a lot quicker, pressing more aggressively.
I don’t believe we’re anywhere near thoughts of changing manager but it seems to me that he needs to try something new as goals have dried up both home and away, we were scoring away from home with ease before.
Should we be looking at more of a 4312 while attacking now? With Styles at LB he offers more of a threat on the overlap meaning we could then use Johnston slightly more inside which is where he enjoyed himself last season and a run is what he needs and let’s face it, Swift, Diangana and anyone else tried in that 10 role have not earned their spot.
Molumby, Mowatt and Racic could sit behind a free roaming Johnston. It does throw a conundrum of dropping Fellows however he is out of form, as is Maja so let’s support Maja with Grant or Cole.
We have to try something different but I don’t think we’ll shift from a back 4 even though Corberan has mentioned that possibility.
We are hamstrung regarding going to a back 3 as we have no more centre halves fit and the four fit are reasonably solid
Because we never change our rigid formation only the players within it we must be a dream for opposing managers to try to negate
Our central midfield options are all to similar as in no legs between any of them and very little creativity apart from safe 5 yard balls shuffling sideways
Mowatt was our quarter back first part of the season and teams get wise
Similar to Johnston and fellows teams know what they want to do
The fact we move the ball so slowly allows teams to double up on our wide men knowing we create so little through the middle hence we create so few chances now
Johnston,fellows and this season grant are effective wide men in this league but need support
Maja given chances and sometimes not given chances will score goals and also leads the line and links play well
Our major problem is the 3 in the middle
As we have both said no number 10 is warranting a place at the moment so I’d try diakite and molumby in the middle with an extra body up front be that Cole,dobbin or Johnston in a free role
Individually it’s harsh on mowatt
Racic hasn’t done enough to warrant starting but is neat and tidy from the bench
I am a swift fan but he isn’t doing enough in that 10 role at the moment to start
Ditto Grady and Wallace has done nowt this season
I’m not completely putting this on CC has we have no knowledge of who signed the players and what he asked for in the summer
The only thing I am putting at his door is the reluctance to at least try something different
