Sell McGree and McNair….

Mcgree isn't good enough for the team, I think he is an obvious weakness but I think paddy provides more. Mcgrees link up from midfield to forward isn't good enough and it leaves the striker as a lone striker a lot of the time which we haven't been untill mowett came into the team and took mcgrees place.
 
Wilder has no clue how to create a team spirit which tips games like these in our favour….team togetherness is just not there….you can see it a mile away
 
We have a big midfield problems, far too slow, very predictable. Any team with a bit of pace, athleticism etc just runs rings around us.

Certainly be looking to bring in more quality in the CM positions rather than forward line.

For what it's worth thought McGree had a really good game, Mowatt awful, Howson....meh. Options from the bench - non existent.

Only slight saving grace is that it's unlikely we will see as powerful a midfield as Watford until the return fixture ☹️☹️
 
Mcgree had more energy and effort than Crooks, Jones, Mowatt, Howson , he is not a no10, but he at least tried.we need a player who takes chances when they come up.
The midfield is weak, we ended the game with Fry , Dijksteel, Clarke in defence which failed tonight.
On the plus side, Muniz and Giles did well, Clarke was solid,but the league doesn't lie, we are too easy to beat.
Big 2 days, 2 players won't change our season.

McNair needs to play right side of defence. He’s not a defensive midfielder.

McGree played ok, but I thi no we need another attacking midfielder to put a rocket up him!

I thought Dijksteel was going to play in midfield when I first saw him warming up!

Not to worry: defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder and a striker still to come in!
 
The problem is consistency throughout the whole team. Last week clarke excellent today made too many mistakes. Same week in week out with with mcgree, mcnair, jones, fry, dijksteel, watmore and mowatt is an absolute plodder

It would be great if all the nee guys fit in straight away and immediately had a telepathic connection with each other!
 
I wouldn't usually say this but watmore would have been better in mcgrees position tonight, he'd have at least buzzed around and maybe created more. Muniz is too isolated with mcgree there. I unfortunately don't think it will change as it looks like wilder is trying to accommodate mcgree anywhere he can .

It would be, it would also be good if a new signing was fit enough to compete and have some effect on the game. I've seen signs from most of the signings but mowatt is way off

McNair played right side of defence and was out of position for the 1st goal, WHY would he go so high ? Crooks and Jones to blame also.
Watching the highlights now, we chased shadows , McNair , Howson, Mowatt, miles off the pace .

I'd say he's trying to accommodate McNair from the half hour or so I watched at the end, and we were the better side for much of that.

Unlucky for their winner but if there's a player to be taken out of that midfield it would be McNair. Warnock saw how inconsistent he was there and shifted him out. He's got to be shifted out again. McGree offers a lot more from open play.
