he was way better than Roberts today. Way better. Roberts jinked past his man and then lost the ball with either an awful shot or cross or touch to many every single time. Think he’s more a 10 than a wide right player
 
I’d start Tav on the RW, he’s more direct and has goals in him.

Move Coulson to left back, we need his pace and ability to go past players but he lacks a bit of quality once he gets in and around the box.

See how Robertson does on the left, he’s got the quality to still cause problems on the left.
 
We cant keep chopping and changing around, Roberts had a good first 35 minutes and then seemed to get frustrated with himself. He was a little greedy at times, but given his style I can forgive that. Tav is his ideal replacement after 60 mins.

I still prefer the 5-3-2 with our players. I think we lack height defending today we lost out quite a bit I would add Moukoudi.

Like Roberts but he has overdone the dribbling, Warnock said post match he can't risk him for more than 60 mins because of his recovery from injury . Tav has impressed and should have been given that goal instead of a free kick against him. Sure he'll get a start in some of remaining 6 games
 
He was not poor, created, caused issues with the hull defence, and pressed forward... not poor at all. Think he tired and time for Tav.
 
I’m a big Roberts fan but apart from looking fancy on the ball he created absolutely nothing yesterday.
 
We had our best run with Tav and Fletcher in the side went to crap after the transfer window, Woodgate changed a winning team
 
I don't understand the logic of playing Roberts on the right. He's so left footed that the defenders know he'll cut inside, so he's running across the field all the time. That makes crossing that much harder, and there are very few targets to aim for anyway.

Roberts would be better played as a left winger or behind the front two, in the middle of the park.

Then Play Tavernier on the right, Coulson left and Howson as the defensive midfielder.

Then perm any four full backs and centre halves from Spence, Friend, McNair, Fry, Shotton, et al.

The crucial thing is to score goals now, goalless draws just aren't going to do it with six games to go.
 
Every time Roberts got the ball I held my breath because he is exciting to watch
What are some people watching ?
He ran out of steam but I thought tav was average in comparison to Roberts

I thought Johnson had a good game but coulsen for me, can only play left back to be the devastating player he can be. Not where he played last night
Spence going off made the difference because we lost his energy and pace down the right and lost howson in midfield therefore two losses
Still gutted as we basically bossed them but can’t wait for Sunday now

I think it’s you who was watching something different, no one is arguing he wasn’t exciting but he either went back and tried to take the man on again to many times or put awful balls in or had an awful shot. No doubt he’s a quality footballer but his final product and decision making was terrible last night, where as Tav might not have all the fancy footwork he did have a good shot that just went wide and scored another goal that by all accounts should of stood. We should try and squeeze them both in the team maybe.
