You've got to wonder what goes through Kenny Jackett's mind at times. He does realise we've played that awful diamond formation previously this season and it doesn't work? He does know that playing a central midfielder nominally on the left of midfield means you're going to be extremely vulnerable on that side of defence? These are all flaws we've seen before and he repeats the same thing, truly shocking management.
That's before we get into him using Helan, Sigurdarson and Le Fondre (none of whom will be here next season) ahead of our own youth players who we might actually need next season given we aren't going to be in a position to run with a squad of 25+ senior pros.
Oh, and it was another first half where we haven't had a shot on target. Third one this month alone. We must easily be in double figures for that, honestly wouldn't surprise me if we were nudging 20 occasions for the season.
It's not about the result, this is about as close as I get to not caring about the result because there's literally nothing at stake. It's the method, Ken. Or the lack of it. The fact that the same things keep happening - nonsensical tactics, selections that defy all logic, a complete lack of attacking threat, hyper-attritional football without even the pay off of ruthlessly efficiently grinding out results - and you never, ever, ever fucking learn. That's what pisses me off. You keep banging on about giving the fans something to cheer for at the end of the season, how we need to show more going forward, how about you hold up your bit of the bargain? Because playing a bloke who's gone 28 hours of competitive football without a goal as an isolated lone forward is pretty unlikely to be the answer to anything.
Looking forward to Saturday, it's gonna be ACE.
