I think Burke was a bit short of match fitness but taking Newell of was baffling, especially as Becchio & JCH would need service from the flanks to score.
Danny Ward love fest. Take off Newell put Ward out there, zero effectiveness at Cardiff and zero yesterday. Noticeably the one time Burke, G.Ward & Newell actually managed to get within 10 yards of D.Ward we actually scored. Needless to say we didn't again all game. 30 yards between them is unacceptable at home Smallwood & Green neither have any ability to think that when we do attack they must go with that front 4 and be an aid to keep pressure up in the final 3rd. How those 2 let that arrogant git score from that position in that formation in the 4th minute and just before half time when their failure as defensive midfielders meant Mattock and Broadfoot got pulled terribly out of position was L2 football. As for Facey, sorry pal you're not ready for this level of football.
8hrs of driving for that, I won't be coming up for Birmingham it was an embarrassing disgrace
Burke, sorry a cast off, past his best. Becchio looks old, plays old. JCH should be starting every game, apart from Yates who should be on the bench for Derbyshire. Thorpe what's he done wrong, think with Redfearn, before him Black you've got to be up there arses ie Green. Facey send him back. Need a right back, midfield player tomorrow, no cast offs, has-beens. Up front JCH, Yates, D Ward in that order. If that doesn't work transfer window.
