I'm inclined to agree but it's too early yet to write him off. He's struggled in the games so far, it just passes him by

 

****ing hell

 

If we don't cut out this kind of ****, keepers scoring against us etc we could go down. I know it's early in this game and the season but it's an awful habit we have.

We've more than matched them which makes it even worse

 

Can't understand this talking about what to do next. Alex Neil is the manager/head coach, he makes the decision and makes the changes

 

Patterson going to be a massive issue for us this season.

 

O dear... Neil trying to be Evans, has put in some silly tackles then does it again... red? Thought the Sheff player dived a bit.

Liverpool managed a draw with 10 men can we do the same?

 

that’s why I said yet. The lad needs regular football to learn to do the basics. At a lower level.

 

Harsh. Poor control and a natural reaction. Their lad went down far too easily. Yes, no arguments with the red, but some sympathy with the lad for the that.

 

Definitely a weakness of Neil's game. Got away with a few bad ones this season already, not this time.

 

this was my problem with the game at the weekend. We can’t assume we will be in good form all season. We need to get wins when they’re available and not assume we will keep getting chances

 

Not quite sure what you expected him to do for the goal?

Not many keepers these days would have come for that with all the bodies in the way

 

Commentators thinking they know the game better than managers man. Lee Hendrix is utterly clueless

 

he was trying to turn the guy on the edge of the box as the last man. That’s what make it an idiot.

the mid control is a mistake. But he shouldn’t be putting himself in the position to make that mistake

 

Should have just passed it back to Batth to clear. Dan has learned the hard way - I hope he does learn.

 

You OK? Desperate to apportion blame on the younger players....

 

Eh? Cos he nearly let in a mis hit cross? Don’ t agree I like the lad

 

Mate it's 4 yards out. He come,.went back then did nowt. Basic rule is if it's 6 yards off a cross it's yours.

Anything high is an issue for him. Looks like he has the fear.

 

Because they are too blame. Age is irrelevant. Neil to blame for the red and Patterson for weak command of his area.

If you want to praise you lads watch the under 21s. This league is ruthless.

 

The last 10 minutes he's looked shaky. I think he's looked confident and done his job well all season collecting crosses.
