1. Defend solidly and keep a clean sheet.

2. Attack at pace and score goals.

3. Make 1 & 2 priorities, not 70% possession in the middle third of the pitch.

Play like we have done in the other home games and we'll win.

One thing we must not do is turn away from our style, that would be a big mistake.

We don't have the players to play anyother style even if we wanted to.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure we have the players to play the style we are currently playing.

If we did, we wouldn't be 4th bottom with 1 win in 9 against quite a few of the poorer teams in the division.

1. Spend to buy or loan a back up striker
2. Start our best defenders in Lawlor AND Fish
3. Start 2 strikers (Robinson & Isaak Davies)

1. Did you see our transfer window?
2. Do you really think BBM will change personnel and drop Osho?
3. Do you really think BBM will change tactics and put two upfront?

Yeah, that's probably by design. Some suggest it's a bad thing that we have the one style and maybe there's an argument for that, but I take the opposite view.

We have had managers where we play one way one week, another the next week and another way the following week. I don't think that's sustainable. What we have now is an identity and whenever things don't go well, we know how we need to play without ripping everything up.

I also reject any idea that the players aren't good enough for this style. I base that off our home performances. If we were not playing well or not creating chances at home then I'd see that argument, but right now I don't.

I'd be more worried if we win tonight but don't play well than I would if we lose but play well.

That’s insane
It’s a results business . We could play the best football and look great on the eye , not get the wins we need and get relegated , I for one am not happy with that !!!!
That throws away last years achievement.

It's a results business as the season goes on, I agree. If we are in the bottom three after 15/16 games then it'll be a concern - although we're not even in the bottom three now. But whether you're playing well gives you a guide early on in regards to how the team are doing.

Add to that, we're unbeaten at home in the league. Only six teams can say that.

So looking at the line up that's a

1. No chance
2. No chance
3. No chance
