When we played a completely changed starting 11 featuring two young, newly signed CBs with a very inexperienced midfield in front of them and a suspect keeper behind them? 

I don't think that's the gotcha you think it is.

Tactically we were exposed by runners at the defenders. Sure, offensively we were great at times, but defensively we were exposed. 

3 goals conceded to the reserve team of the bottom of the championship team ain't the best argument for the same system away at Brentford.

One of those goals was a wonder strike you can do nothing about (that would have been ruled out for offside if there was VAR), and another was due to an absolute howler from Lumley. And their 3rd goal was scored after we switched to a back 3.

It’s all well and good lining up defensively when needed.

But Brentford are part of these bunch of teams that we have a chance of taking points off of.

God help us if we get nothing from these types of games.

He’ll be the first manager to get the boot if he’s insistent on not changing his style or personnel because he doesn’t want to hurt his ego.

Looking ahead at the fixtures, we could easily be in real danger of not being beyond or on 5pts after 9 games played if we see the same dross today as we seen against Nottm Forest and pick up nothing.

Adam Armstrong shooting from 35 yards instead of looking for a pass :mcinnes:

Have to accept some poor attempts from distance or you end up with a style of play where you refuse to shoot outside the box.
