I know this sounds ridiculous, but we really can win this last game. It'd have been interesting to see how we'd have done going in front; for that I can only apologise for hitting the post.

I really enjoyed playing as the big man upfront tonight though.

I'd quite like the old PMs again about what you think our best team/formation would be.

I want the last game at least to be a top performance. Todays was poor - and I take a lot of blame for that, I defended terribly today.

ABurbidge wont play defense ever again, but I felt Adam had an alright debut.

I think we need to drop whoever had control of the keeper.

I do think going forward we were the best I've seen. Just a case of not booting the ball upfield when it came to defending. I think people forget that there is a slight delay online, so trying to collect the ball, have a look then hoofing it up will not work.

I got a 6, which was ironically the same amount of times I got possession of the ball.

Defenders, one of you was appalling. I'm not sure if it was the left back drifting inside out of habit or because one of the other guys was pushing forward too much, but I kept having to drop into the left back role, so sort it out!

I'm gonna take a load of the defensive blame today - because I was really bad. None of my A tackles seemed to come off, and the number of times I accidentally went for the same man as A J leaving someone unmarked was a lot - so I'm sorry.

It was definitely my worst performance to date, and I was probably why we conceded the eight we did.

If the general concencus is to drop me for the last game, then I'll drop myself - and select a team minus me to win the last game.

My two games, I've headed off line, made to last ditch tackles and hit the post. I got a 6 and 7 in my ratings.

Although to be honest, I dont enjoy/like playing right back...never really asked to be there, just kinda put there I guess. I'd like to be further up. A pacy winger or creative midfield.

You are right, you did just kinda get put there.

When you played right wing, you werent very good, but had a really good game at right back - so I thought it was a more natural position for you. Plus you seemed very big on defense so I wanted you back there.

I don't mind where I play.

I hope my absence in the last game doesn't get me dropped for the next?

I dont think so Stu. I think most people would agree you've been pretty solid throughout, and some of us were pretty dire yesterday.

I had one game there. And I got the ball three times the whole game. It was all down the middle...

But hey ho...I'd rather play, than not play.

It pissed me off greatly to see the ball lumped down the field time and time again when i was free in the middle and I would've been better off passing our way to the front. We're not Wimbledon.

We really need to go down the wings more; that's where I reckon we'll get the most joy. Last night, we were most threatening when PsychicSykes was crossing balls from the left wing.

And I simply can't stress enough how important it is to already know where you're passing the ball before you've received it. Online, you simply don't have one or two seconds to think about it. The people playing in the middle of midfield need to be the people that aren't looking to take on everyone, but to pass it straight away to the wings (preferably) or straight to the forwards who then can try and hold up play a little, as it's less damaging if they lose the ball.

Yeah it hard to do that when all 4 players already deserting me by disappearing down the field and I had to pass it back to the defender in order not to get trapped.

Well last night i wasnt as bad as i thought i'd be tbf. I blocked at least to shots that would've gone in and cleared the ball many times with about 80% getting to a team mate.

Yeah this is spot on, me and GM worked out pretty quickly the one area where you would have such an advantage over our defence, and that was Howard's heading ability, all I did in our practice games was keep on crossing as 90% of the time Howard won the ball. Our full backs gave us brilliant cover throughout the match which restricted you to crossing only a few times during it. They basically forced you to play through the middle.

No matter what happens tonight, lets really enjoy it.

Happy with LCM, c'mon guys lets kick ass. You're going down count nood.
