PCH is crap, Cobi is spot on there.

Hourihane and Young-I think they're both talented but disadvantaged by playing without a ball winner next to them. Put them next to someone like Ross Jenkins and their technical ability would show. Was a mistake playing them together today.

Hourihane has the potential to play alongside a ball winner, but he knows that he is not alongside one therefore he switches to his default defensive setting. I thought he had a cracking game V Morecambe because he actually got forward.

Young simply isn't a central midfielder, I think he is better on the right when he uses his energy to burst down the line and get a decent ball in, certainly better than PCH

Young simply shouldn't be on the pitch, as he hasn't got the pace to beat defenders and isn't a decent crosser of the ball! PCH shouldn't be on the pitch either, Saturday was just shocking from Hourihane, Young and PCH! We ain't going to win games when 75% of the midfield is woeful!

We're just a poor football team. Weak throughout. Young, inexperienced kids in too many key positions. Too late for Sheridan to sort out I fear.

Take note Mr Brent, you pay peanuts you get monkeys.

Not that he cares that much. Quivering lip my arse.

Wotton and Cox included, we win. Problem (hopefully) solved.

Yep, agree with you on this one Cobi. Hourihane did well in CM (as I believe Young would also have done) because the emphasis to be the ball-winner was not on him. Therefore he had a lot more freedom to roam and do his own thing thus he played much better. That's Young's issue too when he plays in CM...pressure to be something he's not, ie a physical ball winner. If you'd have swapped him for Conor today I think he'd have done equally well.

Not sure if young is up to it. Hourihane certainly is and playing a proper midfield seems to have benefited him. Credit has to go to SJS for seeing what the problem was
