I like your optimism, but it’s going to be a bit difficult from the bench. |

Bet he'd love to score against Jack Ross. Am I right in thinking Reilly is our only forward to have scored from open play in quite some time?

Ran a lot but too lightweight and annoyingly after chasing to close someone down he slows down just enough to make sure he doesn't get there.
That aspect of his play reminds me of Elliot Richards.

Received no service. Fed off aimless long balls into the channels all game.

Probably our poorest striker.
I think our best technical player is Nichols and our best at holding it up Is Harris.

It’s the basics that if you play 4-4-2 you HAVE to have a creative midfielder and a ball winner in your midfield partnership. Cogs two home defeats have come when he’s played two defensive players there. I wouldn’t play ogogo and olly together any more than I’d play lines and sercombe together. Like I said it’s the basics of 4-4-2 |

JCH made at least three decent flick-ons into the D in the first half, and Reilly wasn't near any of them. Maybe he was told to play deeper than JCH, but if he was, why did JCH keep flicking them square?

I thought we were poor today but I also think it's really important to keep in mind who we're playing against and although you could say "have we got worse or better." I don't think that's true because we seem to be so much better away from home than at the Mem.
Sunderland were 4 leagues above us 3.5 years ago.

Service wasn't great but Reilly didn't make the most of the ball when he did have it and didn't get onto any flick one like you say. |

Sunderland didn't look anything special. We were toothless and pretty dreadful. |

It was Wycombe all over again and no surprises there.
I hope Cogs looks back at Wycombe and today’s matches and realised where he’s f**ked up in both or we’re going down.

At least Wycombe played a robust spoiling game Sunderland played just a normal game but we still couldn't cope. We can't seem to pass the ball forward just sideways. |

Like I said it’s the basics of 4-4-2 Nail on head. We only have one creative central midfielder and that's Lines. He has to play. If we persist with 4-4-2, it's just a toss up between Clarke, Upson, Sinclair and Ogogo as to who plays with him. Ogogo and Clarke is a similar problem to the Lines and Sercombe one we've had since the start of last season. Darrell Clarke dealt with that one by going 4-3-3, thus giving the them some security. However, that meant we lacked width. It was good to hear Coughlan questioning whether he has the right system. I hope he's finally realised that to play 4-4-2 ,he needs a left winger. I think he needs to incorporate Lines, Sercombe and have that solidity, whilst keeping that all important width in the side. That can only mean going 3 at the back so surely 3-5-2 is the way to go. |

We hoof it as far as we can and hope. That's all. |

Offers nothing, another who should be on his way at the end of the season.
