Nuno said he needs to look at how to play against 10 players and their deep defending. He wanted a win. Given the number of times this has happened to us this season, he's probably right.

Well I would love to see BA back to his old ways with us, but, having seen him play down here at the Vitality many times over the last 2 years And have to say he’s lost his Mojo as I have mentioned on various occasions over the last few months on this site! Unless there’s a dramatic change in his fortune, and ours as a result, I can only see him going back to EH and the Vitality in May! Hope I’m proved wrong, as it would mean he’s found It, not lost it! Hope we pick up 6 points next week. ⚽️😉👍.

Nuno also mentioned the problem with set pieces and defensively for me that has in fact been our biggest weakness! Nuno seems to favour zonal marking for set pieces but either the players don't get it or the system just ain't effective enough because it has been our biggest (only) flaw most of this season! For a defence as tidy as ours that was another VERY soft goal to concede!
I trust Nuno to fix it but I do hope its sooner rather than later because if we go to the Prem with that kind of weakness then teams will simply play to get the set piece and then beast us during them (like the Stoke of old) . Sure Nuno will get us up to speed but think as a club we all need to take a step back and remember just how ruthless the Prem is with any kind of such weakness and then get it sorted asap! Still at least none of our players are out playing with taxis! COYW ;)

I would like Nuno to play Bonatini or Afobe with Cav and Jota as our front three. our bench would be better and we would not have to change the system, also Doherty needs to improve his final ball, he gets a lot of the ball and seems to waste it.
