Yep. Dug in deep there. Silly errors and lacklustre defending. Certainly not the level we reached v Chelsea. But at 2-0 I thought we were done. Well done lads for never say die attitude. Good job.
It defies belief the sudden change in team performance, players performance and fares too.
Stick with it. Keep the passion and pride and play your hearts out each week. That’s all I want to see. Win, lose or draw.

Yesterday's turnround was more about attitude and individual performances than intricacies of formation. We started as 3:5:2 and went 2 down, so on come Willie, BA and Ao for Okafor, Gruev and Bijol and suddenly we're more a 4:3:3 and get back to all square. Then we go behind again, bring on Piroe for Amps and Bornauw for Bogle and level it up again at 3 apiece.
This was more about desire and will to win than anything else, put bluntly we wanted it more than them and everyone played a part. If we can retain that team attifude going forward we'll be just fine. Onwards and upwards MOT ?
PS I've said before our pressing need is for a No10/ AM, just maybe Ao could be the one to do that.

Agreeing with your post JR.
As for Ao playing number 10 it might possible, but experimenting with players out of their position when we are precariously placed near the relegation zone might be risky, plus the negative psychological effect on the player himself if he fails.
Farke has already been brave enough to switch formations during a game, i don’t think think he’ll be testing players out in positions that they are not usually familiar with.
Could he play as a attacking midfielder now, I’m not sure, for me he has all the attributes of midfielder, hard working and hard tackling.
I don’t see him going on mazy dribbling runs but he can ping the odd beaut in the net.
