Jack Celliers Clarke seemed to be playing more and more attacking players each week. Fulham will be a bit of a reality check.

royal_rumble Why doesn't Cooper get a look in? Given Hector looking pretty dodgy at times in the last couple of weeks and McShane being first choice, I wouldn't mind seeing him given ago alongside McS,
Also Al-Habsi clearly has communication issues, Bond back in for sure.

Coppelled_Streets Wholesale changes because of one bad game in how many? No.
I would though like to see Ferdinand back in with McShane, and the midfield needs to be more disaplined and inteligent. Get that balance right and we'll be in the top six come May.

MoorgateRoyal We need to not get carried away by one result.
It was the worst we have been defensively all season, but the players at the back deserve a chance to redeem themselves. We need to keep as settled a back line as possible, and keep faith with the players who had got us into second.
The midfield is where it needs to change. As much as I like Piazon as an attacking player, he leaves Obita exposed by his unwillingness to track back. Add to that Vydra's lack of match fitness, and Blackman not getting into the game from wide right, I think the midfield is where the changes need to be made.

Dixeyroyal I am a bit confused as to why you think there needs to be wholesale changes to the defence, when clearly our lack of ability to defend from the front and track back from Midfield contributed more to the defeat.
I agree that Obita was shocking (but he hasn't been that good for months now) and Hector/McShane had rare off days, but for me our defeat was more alarming because:
1. Piazon lost the ball more than anyone else in the 2nd half and failed to track back or put in any tackle of note. The flicks and tricks look great when your 2-0 up and cruising but you have to cut them out when it gets to 2-2 and you need to roll your sleeves up and work
2. Vydra/Sa/Blackman started giving the full backs far too much room to work in, with all but 1 of their goals starting from a ball played out of defence by one of their full backs
3. Norwood was constantly covering for Piazon and spent most of the second half trying to retrieve loose balls, rather than being able to get on the ball himself and dictate the play
Whilst i agree that the defence was poor, we haven't been able to say that too many times this season, and i would personally stick with 3 of the 4 but replace Obita, who has been consistently the worst of the 4 all season, so it's not just based on this game.
I would also like to see Tish start in place of Piazon and Kingsley start in goal ahead of Al-Habsi or Bond!
