Our midfield is appalling and our general team play is a joke. Say whatever you want about any of our forwards but they are living off scraps. Nothing is being created for them. RM just doesn't go from 80+ goals in 3 seasons to nothing. We create fuck all and that's a huge problem especially on the road.

yep that is a big part of it and has been for a long time but, at the same time, the forwards need to show for the ball and have movement with a purpose. Kodjia does that, good enough for this level anyway. McCormack does to a certain extent but lacks the pace to be able to run in behind. Gabby moves but with no purpose and usually after the defender has already read the play

For the last few games we've been hoofing the ball upfield and and it's almost always a wasted ball, because both McCormack and Gabby are useless in the air against big defenders. This also applied to Gestede, despite the fact that heading was supposed to be his strength. If he did get his head to the ball he wasn't able to direct it. How we need a Withe, Carew or Heskey in that position!

After Baker was injured/re-injured in the warm ups, did anyone replace him on the bench ?

Well a positive for me is up until five minutes ago I thought we lost 2-0. Was at the 02 Saturday night with no battery on my phone, my wife and various others were winding me up with score, however, result is pure crap.
