    Advantage played for shirt pull- blatant push and trip afterwards is absolute stonewall. Horrendous decision and exactly what var is for. Unlike their penalty which is in the seen them given seen them not - and exactly what var wasn’t introduced for.

    fckng shambles… and I’m fine with marsch venting his spleen about it. Hopefully he’s venting at llorente behind the scenes too.

    Did you not say during the match that we were the better team? So why would we change? Don’t think defenders making monumental fckups has much to do with tactics

    Cold light of day, and hopefully can look at things more objectively.

    Toney's strikes were World Class.

    Our wall for Toney's second was pathetic. Adams got out of the way -he did not want to get hit by the ball.

    Sinisterra will get 15 goals this season.

    We press too high. Most of the goals we have conceded this season have been on the counter-attack.

    Other clubs are blooding in youngsters a lot better than us!

    Easy to finger point at Llorente. Yes, he has been poor in our last 3 games, but no other defender apart from Struijk are much better - and Cooper is not the answer.

    Alot of our goals and chances also come from our press. You can't have it both ways.

    Cooper surely has to be better than Llorente. Ffs elland a traffic cone would be better. Pascal is stuck at left back due to the owner not buying a left back. We have three right backs though but only one left... Firpo who is non league standard. I saw bamfords two efforts... One was a two yard howler and the other he aimed at the corner flag.

    Cooper may not be ideal but I'm actually sure we would have done better with ten men on the pitch than have Llorente playing at all

    Half the Not606ers would be better than Llorebte at the moment.

    It's not often I stick up for Bamford but the keeper got a touch for the howler so that one, although it looks horrible, is understandable.

    Cooper would have launched that one away in the last minute for sure. I think he'd have stopped Toney for the third too.

    He may, or may not, have cost us elsewhere though.

    I think Robin Koch has been excellent so far this season - quality CB.

    IMO, he's been tidy, but by no means a game changer

    I'd be happy with two tidy CBs

    Struijk is going to come in as CB when we have a fit LB I'm sure and he deserves a run at it IMO

    Morning all.

    Haven't seen the match as was on a long haul flight but reading through the comments it seems we weren't anywhere near as bad as the scorelines suggests and looking at the stats they definitely read like a team that put in a decent away performance.

    69% possession
    17 shots at goal
    6 shots on target

    It's also probably worth remembering that Jesse was all about developing our style and improvement from game to game this season so it does look like we're on the right track.
