Hard of thinking aimed at me, then goes on to say we our tactics didn't create chances. Wow 
Cheers for personal attack, though. Very petty.
[Not sure why it's considered some massive overreaction to think we weren't that good on Sat.

Because we've been excellent this early season and have generally played well. We've lost one game, in unfortunate circumstances after dominating for large periods of the 90 minutes, and all of sudden people want to see changes to the way we play, they want the line-up altering, they're calling Heggebø a poor signing, they're reacting to a poor result by being blind to how we played, and they're refusing to accept teams will take points off us, because they dare to do anything but roll over and let us have easy chances.
If this was the latest in a string of poor results, and we were playing badly for a period of time, then those who are moaning about the line up, players, and being critical of Mason, would have a point. But the fact is we've lost one match. ONE!
I have seen nothing worrying in the first 5 games to suggest we should change what we're doing. There has been a definite knee-jerk reaction by some on here to Saturday's result - at best, at worst it has been a bit of a meltdown. It's there in black and white across multiple threads.
I accept everyone is entitled to an opinion and view, but I'm really lost at how anyone who watched Saturday could think we played poorly. Unless it's me with the issue, of course. But I don't think it is, for once! I genuinely believe we played well v Derby and did enough to earn 3 points, but for some wasteful finishing and bad luck. I'm certainly not going to call for changes, however slight they may be, off the back of that and the previous 4 games.
The call for some of the changes is a little underwhelming. People are talking about our bench as if we've got a prime Jason Koumas sat there, twiddling his thumbs! We do not have a creative option to come in and drastically change the way we play.
Do people genuinely believe putting Collyer, ILJ, Diakite, Gilchrist or whatever other option we have, in the lineup instead of Campbell, Mowatt, Molumby, Wallace, Heggebø etc etc is going to suddenly change the team from being solid, compact, hard to beat, but creates a low number of chances, to a free flowing team that will create chance, after chance, after chance, without losing the excellent organisation we've seen?
The only suggestion I've seen that I can reasonably see changing how we play/goal conversion has been to include Maja, but there's obviously something not quite right with him, given the lack of minutes, so I'm not sure how viable that is.
We have limited resources, and have decreased the value of our playing squad to comply with PSR, we have to accept we're going to be a 6th-12th positioned team that will win some, lose some, draw some. We have limited players, and limited options due to how we've had to build the squad. The style we play and how we play in matches will suffer accordingly. We simply can't have it all. I mean this as respectfully as possible, but I'm not sure what some people expect
