I cannot see what Eisa brings to the team he never challenges for a header and his contribution to the last few games has been shocking. Where are all our strikers Olomola, Jarvis, Duran and Mooney they cant all be out injured can they. I agree with you about Cox changing the team every time one or two okay but not half the team it’s stupid.

We have a record number of injuries, yet still put out a team and a full subs bench despite the players Forever Iron lists (plus McAttee) not even making that bench.
To use all five permitted subs and still not have a single shot on target (at home) just shows how crap the recruitment was last summer.
I really thought Cox was beginning to sort things out, but tonight was a massive step backwards.

Tinkerman isn’t clever enough to tinker.
He over thinks everything, just play to win every match rather than target games.1 user thanked author for this post.
I think this is a bit unfair on the manager although I’m not entirely happy with his approach to matches. Playing 2 games a week regularly means he has to make changes, injuries and fatigue just have to be an issue and it’s possible some players are turning out less than 100% out of necessity. The recruitment issue is certainly a factor, Olomola, KDT, Jarvis & Mooney, for example, have a handful of appearances between them and are unlikely to get many more. Would we have been better off by signing one player capable of being a league regular – very likely.

What Cass said. Ridiculous over-reaction on this thread to a sole, single defeat. If Cox feels he has to make changes, then he’s best placed to know why. Is that the first game Gilliead has missed this season? Feels like it. Wonder why Eisa “doesn’t bring anything to the team”? Wonder why Kev “looks like he’s sulking”? Maybe, just maybe, they aren’t as fit as they need to be. Remember they’re having to play a 46-game season in 2 months fewer than normal, it’s not surprising that something has to give at some point.
My only criticism of Cox is his apparent refusal to play McAtee at the moment. Fine, maybe McAtee isn’t interested, but it’s the manager’s job to get the best out of his squad and he’s not doing that, for whatever reason, at the moment.

If McAtee is not interested and unhappy it’s his job to motivate himself. These days there are too many woke snowflakes trying to mollycoddle players, instead of giving them a bollocking that they deserve. He has a job to do and he is not doing it. He needs to man up!

I would sooner see us safe before tinkering too much, a couple of changes each game, YES, more NO, also start with the same system every game whoever it is against and not to accommodate who we play against, no wonder we get inconsistent displays and results.

A lot of people are talking about targeting certain matches and as shown we are not turning up in other games.Really think the mindset of the manager should be play every game to win,he gives teams to much respect and is playing a dangerous game.lack of attacking intent at home is inexcusable.
