    Very poor display. Losing Stewart a nighmare but I would have expected the principles to follow through. They didn't.

    Poor night all round with performances and injuries.

    He needed to be holding it up and look for the support. He looks to turn and shoot no matter where he is. Talented lad, but he's still got a lot to learn.

    Completely toothless, which makes the decision not to get another striker absolutely criminal.

    Again, it's only silly when it doesn't pay off. If that backheel comes off and Simms takes the net off you'd be saying what a brilliant decision. If footballers made the safe choice every single time football would be ****ing boring

    Feel we handed it over rather than losing.

    It's not that big of a game, mate. We are top half and only about 8 games in.

    They’d be celebrating seeing Stewart injured. This is where the game was lost for me. Simms had a good game but Stewart is a totally different player for them. The ball sticks when he plays which it really didn’t. Clarke’s worst game fir a long time too which wouldn’t have helped.

    Disappointing. We really weren’t at the races tonight. There’s definitely the foundations of a good team there and they will get better. Any news on Stewart’s injury??? We move on. Hopefully Stewart recovers

    I know, you wouldn’t think so with these sky commentators though.

    No reason to lose that game, we didn't impose ourselves ...

    ... I'm losing faith in Neil and Embleton tbh, really not good enough.

    There's a time to try what he did. Chasing an equaliser, clean through with a clear shot with just the keeper to beat in the 89th minute... You take the shot.

    If that sets the precedent for Tony Mowbray’s tenure then **** me.

    One of those frustrating games where it doesn't quite work out, but we're 8th after 8 games so I won't be losing any sleep over it

    We were ****e. Suck it up.

    Concern is CM, we aren’t nearly good enough CM.

    We don’t look miles away from anyone else w though, we’ll be right.

    The precedent was set on Wednesday when we destroyed Rotherham.

    He didn't have a clear shot though, defender was in front of him
