Back to a back three with wingbacks. Looks like two up front as well.

Can’t argue with someone who is able to admit that they will look to change something that’s not working.

352 with Wilson left wing back? No Rodney at all. With Bilongo and maybe Maguire and Beckwith back next week we will have even more options.

Football is a results business. You have to adapt to what you have. There are options on the bench to change formation and/or personel within this formation..

It’s good a manager is willing to see that and change.

When he has the players to play it Watson can play his high tempo flying wingers but we do not have the athleticism defensively and in central midfield currently to do so. Hopefully this should reduce the space the centre backs need to cover.

A starting line-up that could be described as "interesting"

Looks more solid, establishing a foothold the first priority with room for changes depending on how it's going

They look a lot sharper on the break.

We’ve three players down the left though only one of whom is naturally left footed. And he’s struggling to beat the first man when he crosses.

A lot better than last week.

Not great the 10s are too wide and our midfield is having no impact. Watching Sherring trying to play the Gordon role is painful. Wilson has looked okay. I th8nk we need more energy in midfield and get Smith and Silcot-Duberry on.

Better than the first half last week but that’s not really saying much. Not sure what our plan is for getting the ball forward and into the box. How exactly are we planning on scoring a goal? Should have done better for their goal and they don’t appear to be trying too hard. Can’t help but feel that we’re miles off it here.

Wing-backs on the wrong side, wrong midfield.

You can still have wingers with wing-backs…

Not even sure it is any better than last week tbh. Moss is getting skinned at RFB and Sherring looks below par for L2.
Mani hasn't had a sniff in 1 and a half games now, and midfield look very pedestrian with the ball.
We need to leave at least one player upfield when defending set plays. It's just coming straight back if we clear it.

And we look sluggish all over compared to them.

Wilson probably the brightest of our players so far, but the bar is not set too high.

The lack of subs when we got it back to 1-1 was baffling. That’s on the manager.

Changing to three at the back saw us more comfortable in our own half with the ball but ahead of that we got it wrong. Watson is learning lessons fast and he has to.

Structure is all important and we are taking one step forward and two steps back.

Second half was a bit better and they got a bit of luck when we had a few half chances. The changes needed to be made earlier. If we are playing this formation long term we need to use one of the wide players as one of the 10s. Beckwith and Wilson could play as the wide defenders. Gilmour and Francis does not have the legs as a partnership.

Subs made far too late. There seemed to be more urgency after the changes.
Wilson looked good in the Beckwith role in the first half but looked absolutely shattered in the second. That was a tired looking effort to give away the penalty.

Yes, there were individual player mistakes, the ref was shockingly bad, but every game including friendlies under this manager, we haven't won one game in 90 minutes nor do we look likely to.
A few hopeful glimpses today but precious little else.
Still comparable to Steve Eyre. Disorganised, feeble and managerially inept.
How long must we wait to see something worth watching?
