1) One up front ( whose loan expires in 9 days). 2) Leading scorer on the bench. 3) After going 1-0 down it takes a good 6/8 minutes to bring a sub on. 4) Takes our best striker (Harry Bunn) off.

If I was Hoyle I would be looking for answers to at least 3 of those
Took my dad today in the hope he'd invest in a half season card.
Can't see that happening now funnily enough....

After last weeks drubbing, I can understand why Powell turned more defensive. I'm not saying I agree with it, and I would have Sarted Vaughan and Wells, or Holt and Wells. But Birmingham are on a roll, so can understand Powell's thinking.

we lost 10-1 at man city fucking years ago, is that still haunting powell? what the fuck has last week got to do with playing a totally different team at home?? its footballspeak, its bollox and its ingrained in peoples ideas because so called fucking experts have said it is so.. if powell does not think we can beat Birmingham then he needs to go in the week and tell dean hoyle so and hand in his cards..let someone do the job who actually believes and plans to win the fucking game, not some apologist who sets out not to lose and fucking fails badly at that.,. powell says afterwards the game should have ended 0-0? fuck off you negative fucking loser..

Bunn should have been subbed 20mins earlier. His lack of energy in the second half was a big part of why we dropped a level as Brum upped one.

Is it possible to drop a level when your starting at - level any way?

the above may sound harsh, but the last incumbent used to 'see' a draw with 20 minutes to go in games which we subsequently lost..
I don't want another who 'sees' a draw before the game, plays for a draw from the start, sees his plan go tits up, throws some players on too late and then talks shit about what the score 'should' have been.
powell if you don't think we can attack Birmingham at home and take the game to them from minute one then you should walk..if the level of your 'ambition' is to get a draw at home against Birmingham then it does not match most of the town support and you should walk.. if you think that accepting a 0-0 draw at home against Birmingham would have been ok, you should walk.
Powell, we lost the fucking game before it started, the actual goal conceded was neither here nor there and its probably better in the long run that your dull, negative approach was foiled because you would have managerspeaked the utter drivel purporting to be championship football as a 'reaction' to the fucking good arseholing we took last week..
advice to powell, we know when you are pissing down our backs....don't fucking try to tell us its raining..

How at least two subs hadn't come on by 50 mins is a mystery. Poor by Powell today

The overall reason that our lot were so poor in the formation this aft was that the player who is the key component in this system (the frontman) had a really poor game. Had he expended the effort that he spent falling over and moaning just occasionally winning a duel with the defenders the midfield players (who are supposed to "join in" in this system) would have had the chance to (just now and again) threaten the opposition goal...
At times this afternoon I was reminded of the mighty Alan Alan
Perhaps Mr. Holt can hear the taxi back to Wigan revving it's engine? He looked a shadow of the player that he was a month or so ago...

I've only seen a handful of games recently but Holt has been consistently rubbish throughout.
Its interesting you mention Alan Lee.... he doesn't look as good as Lee to me. He's like a watered down combination of Booth and Lee.
The cynic in me would suggest its not in his interest that Town win games... but I believe hes doing his best, he's just not very good... thankfully its not our club lumbered with his contract.
He seems to have very little positive to bring to the game, spends his time blatantly fouling when its easier to win the ball, and when he's found out, moans like a baby letting his team down when he should be getting on with playing.
That a tiny lad like Wells is better at the physical targetman and hold up stuff tells you what you need to know about Holt.

Baffles me, he plays a donkey upfront and no other striker. Playing with just one striker at home is negative. Also, why play Holt? Yes he was good at the start of his loan but he has done fuck all for a lot of games, but yet we continue to play him. Then leave our best and leading goal scorer on the bench? Absolutely embarrassing.

I agree, I don't think our managers do have full control of the team such as picking the team etc.
