Teams that come and are prepared to scrap and win the bits and pieces in midfield have turned us over recently.

If Jimmy is fit I would like us to play 3 CBs to enable the full backs to get much higher, he would also provide more of a threat at set pieces.

That first bit 100% spot on. We dont always look like we want it enough. I hate that more than anything. 

The three CBs thing was I think always going to be Mick's plan B but I much prefer the false 9ish 4-3-3 (which we've abandoned since Dykes has been back again).   Because no one else plays that in this division, and also because you leave out all our non striker strikers. Also because that is when we've looked really good as a football team. Problem with it is that it requires full fitness from our best players on a consistent basis. 

The reality of our thin squad and in particular the dog's breakfast striker situation has begun to hit home. 

armstrong hasn't scored yet but i do think he impacts games more than dykes. he needs to utilize his strength more and conserve energy, heck, there's a lot of learning there but he can't be worse than dykes lol

I hear you, but for me Luton - to take one example - wanted it more. 

It isn't about size, it's about attitude.  There've been some right lairy little nuggets down the years who punch way above their weight.  Billy Bremner, Roy Keane, Joey, Cantona - none of them were the size of Armstrong say, but those guys weren't going to be bullied by anyone.  I think we need a little bit of that mentality on and off the park.  We aren't going to charm our way out of this division. 

Older Rs will remember Tommy Smith,  was never the biggest guy on the park but Shankly said ' he wasn't born, he was quarried '.

Mick Beale on tv only committing for this season

Need to beat Huddersfield important game

Stop the slump

Arse kicking required

Not used to having a manager linked with
Every premier league job going

He needs to earn his spurs first and win something

Or be the same as Gary Neville

So you're saying they cant win anything in the air, they can't run and they can't tackle?  

Throw outmuscled into that mix and I'd say they're in the wrong business.  Apart from the aerial thing, everything you're talking about has to do with attitude. This is a dog eat dog division, we need to bite back more often. No room for any passengers. 

On sky sports when ruling himself out of the Southampton job today mate

He will go to Glasgow Rangers at the end of the season save this post stan

Oh right so.
Is he just using us to further his own career.
Or
Saying support me in Jan to the board or ?

Not a bad idea tbh.
