One on one defending is shocking. He's cost us a lot of goals lately

He's been really poor at a time when it's really costing us.

All over the place for the first Swansea goal, let the ball go through him in the wall against Sunderland, pathetic attempt at a tackle for the equaliser today and as for the back pass ...... :banghead:

Could be an asset in League 1 next season as that's clearly his level.

If by some miracle we stay up needs to be moved on as clearly not a Championship standard player.

Just when we need players to step up, they step down , which says so much about the squads mentality

He still is very young in center-half terms for the championship and to be a bit contrarian it's not his fault we are not scoring goals so we are open as hell allowing us to be countered against good championship forwards.

Our shape at the back is now non existent.

WTF was it during the second half? Sabri and Sol need good hard looks in the mirror. O'Dowda was a center-half and NG a wingback ????????????????

NG is a right back, let's get back to a narrow tight back 4 with Ralls as the LB if we must, to allow CO'D to play further forward, perhaps McGuiness to be tighter to his partner instead of the acres of space we allow at the moment.

I watch Lamouchi closely when he was at Forest. He did well but he had a better squad and he had the right players in midfield and defence to play the game he liked. They look good then they collapsed and its a mystery to me how it then went all wrong. I'm guessing that's the wonder of the game.
