A point when we:
Have started pre season 1 week late
New manager
New formation (one that I dont like admittedly) and ideas
2 Injuries- in CM
Play badly
Cleen sheet with 3 new defenders
Is a good sign maybe? The fact that we didnt crumble when the going got tough in that game?
If the injuries arent too bad, its a decent point

Morning Backo, another thing that worried me, yesterday and v Villareal was that we have no obvious overlap partnerships. Remember Brayford and the bloke we let go playing their little triangles and getting to the by-line several times a game. Also, when Forsyth was on song last year, with Dawkins and Bryson sometimes.
Maybe such understandings will take time. We need Baird and Ince/Russell/Wiessmann and Forsyth with who? To do the same down the left side.
I hope Hughes comes back quickly.

Getting the ball wide yesterday and only having Shotton on the ball was a nitemare. Against Villareal i dont think ive ever seen Will Hughes work as hard as that down the left. We wont get partnerships like that wide in this formation. Im not sure the players like tbh.

Got to disagree about the shotton sub. It was plain bad luck to lose both midfielders but moving Baird and bringing on a defender was an obvious logical move to me at the time.
I wasn't aware about Hendrick playing holding midfielder at Burton but when he has done in the past it just has not worked.
Totally diminished as an attacking force after that yes but that was because of who we lost not who we replaced them with and we still had enough attacking talent to be able to beat an ordinary Bolton side
No way were we lucky to get a point though. Apart from first five and last fifteen minutes we controlled the (admittedly poor) game

Do agree we need to bring Forsyth back. Warnock has been hopeless from day 1.

Chris. Not hopeless and definitely trying but I am always on edge when he is involved.
Rather have Forsyth except for late last season. With shackell and keogh holding central midfield and with Thorne I think Forsyth would get back to his original form.

Just a hint, if you are about to watch the FL highlights with added 'commentary', on Rams player, or elsewhere when they appear, to turn the volume down.
Who the hell is Kendrick ?
