Tough as it is to say the Paik Iwata pairing lacks creativity. Yes they're great at winning the ball, keeping the ball and completing passes but they don't unlock teams that well. Personally I'd play Paik or Iwata in the middle with Leonard or Harris rotating the four to keep energy high and create real competition.

One way to break teams down is to actually shoot when chances arise. Most teams this season are putting 10 men behind the ball, there is very little space in the box due to the sheer number of players in there. Take a shot, test the keeper, get deflections, corners and ricochets. We need variety in attack, we're getting a bit predictable.

Agree with everything Ryan said. Everyone will play a back 5 against our front 5 particularly at St Andrews. They'll all play for the draw. You'd be mad not to. The only thing we can do is move the ball more quickly. And cut out the defensive mistakes since we give up very few chances. We could be a bit more direct with our crossing rather than trying to get cut backs from the by-line into 9 centre backs. But 9 times out of 10 we'd have won Saturday.

I think Ryan is spot on. Sanderson didn’t make a clear decision and consequently fouled up. I think that reflects he is not a first choice centre back. He needed to do his job. Iwata made a mistake and again I agree he is doing his job but was harshly punished for his sloppy play. On balance the centre half must be decisive. Overall Blues didn’t do a lot wrong and but for a mistake it would have been a 1:0 win. And that would have been fine 🤷‍♂️. KRO

A third of the season has gone & I feel lessons are not being learned about how the opposition are stifling our attack. Charlton, Lincoln, Mansfield, Bolton & now Northampton, Blues dominated possession in every game but had the same or perhaps one more shot on goal that the opposition. On Saturday we had 80% possession, 50 plus touches in the area, but just three shots on target same as Northampton, a team beaten by non-league Kettering the previous week. It's becoming all a bit Spursy, nice football but lacking an end result. Somehow CD's tactics have blunted the most prolific scorer in the league, May. It seems Blues have spent £25M plus to show great possession stats. Despite that spend we're not scoring enough, look how Wycombe are doing, & seem incapable of defending a one goal lead; Sanderson is a liability. The team is supposed to be gelling & progressing but the last two games against teams at either end of the table we seem to have regressed. CD needs to have a major re-think over the international break.

I agree with a lot that you have said but that £25M bought us a whole new squad. Not only that, but with a winning attitude, fight, early promising signs of gelling together and a plan for the next 3-4 years at least, 7 if you highlight stanno’s contract which was the majority of that figure and there’s no reason why he wont either pay us back in goals or if he moves on in the future. We are still second, first if we win our game in hand. In a few years Nobody will care that we came 2nd even if we do, this league is a stepping stone and this season could be the perfect foundation to build on. KRO mate

But the emphasis is on us to breakdown the opposition, regardless of how they play. Our shots on target per match for the last few games is 4, despite dominating possession at around 75 - 80%. Too many manager think the greater the possession more chance we will score less chance for the opposition. That theory went up in smoke against Northampton.

My concern is that of Chris Davies replicating Ange Postecoglue. This Spursy type of winning games is at best fairly good- but not brutal enough to put to bed League One teams. Two wingers per game less 20% possession is my take on all this. Direct style has to be the way. Securing games by early second half has to be the minimum. Tippy tappy footy not going to cut in especially with the harsh winter months approaching.

Blues were able to get around the packed defence, but seem to be lacking sharpness. I don't think playing both Stansfield and May is doing us any favours! We don't look as solid when Beilik is in defence compared with Davies or Sanderson partnering Klarer. We perhaps needs to give Beilik freedom to roam a little.

I thought Blues were so professional against Sutton. The patience and accuracy of their passing game is technically so good. I admire the way they are playing football now. The Sutton team played to a plan which was to keep the score down and avoid embarrassment. They showed us tremendous respect. The ground and pitch were a challenge; so respect to Blues for the result. As an aside the strikers need to start bagging goals . . in the league. Goals change games and take the pressure off the guys behind. At the moment it feels like there is too much pressure on the midfielders! KRO
