The evidence suggests only a 6-0 can happenCharlton beat Shrewsbury 6-0 a fortnight ago and then lose 6-0 at Ipswich so anything can happen.
I think we've played much better at times and kept two clean sheets. Probably could've won a couple of those at the very least if we had a proper strike force available. I think Manning has done well with what he's been lumbered with and we did go unbeaten for 4 in that time. Only thing he got wrong so far was how we set up yesterday in the first quarter where we were sitting too deep leaving gaping holes up top.Must win game, now we've failed in 5 attempts after Manning started. IMO terrible start for him. No new manager bounce at all.
I have to say I’m getting a little fed up with playing four centre backs. Yes it makes us more solid at the back but at the expense of everything else. As we also don’t seem to have any out and out wingers that are any good, we surely have to go with three at the back and wingbacks? Fleming one side and Anderson or Goodrham on the other.
I think part of the issue is that we haven't had many options but to play four CBs. Anderson has been injured and Flemming hasn't exactly set the world alight when playing LB. Arguably Anderson in the team will give us more going forward than actually defending at right back (which may be what is needed). Ironically Brown has been one of our better players in recent weeks when playing left back.I have to say I’m getting a little fed up with playing four centre backs.

Team two looks like it could be quite tasty
Four centre backs? Long has played at right back for 90% of his career. So how can he be a centre back?I have to say I’m getting a little fed up with playing four centre backs.
