No good pointing fingers, they were all as bad as one another just as they can all be much, much better than that. Just how a manager gets a regular tune out of them, I don't know.

People said the exact same about Allahyar after a few games when he joined.

Now he's sorely missed in this team.

I said this before, there's a difference between having a bad game and being a bad player. He's a very good footballer and is easily good enough to play in the Championship, he just needs a run of games.

He offers nothing in this relegation fighting team
Hope he does something soon
 
I thought those subs made early in the second half were the correct decision. We equalised and looked more than capable of going on to win it. Then the referee gave them a free kick that should never have been! Not only did it stop the momentum, sods law dictated that they were to score from it.

I’m not feeling anywhere near as negative as most. Yes, we were appalling first half, but actually showed some boll*cks in the second.

I think the mistake tonight was dropping Pelkas from the starting lineup. He has offered quick, high energy in the final third and Tufan was just too slow. He’s clearly a top player, but not fit enough to keep up with the pace if he starts.
 
as i've said before the other week
oscar does not work in this current team with available players

tufan starting boggles the mind too but apparently i was mean to him becasue he scored v rotherham


longman and pelkas are two of the first on the teamsheet, would have saved us 60 mintues of nothing
start them

fleming was very poor, he looked good v blackburn going forward, but defensively, all over the place today

dare i say it.. get greaves in there v cardiff
jones and figs in the middle

christie is fantastic going forward, but we are far too open defensively on the the wide areas

we'll have an expensive wage bill in league 1 though aye?

Agreed Fleming was awful - we looked 100 percent better with Greaves out of position. Fleming and Lewis Potter worked well together, but maybe that flattered the former.

Don’t forget Akpom is ****e. Boro are ****e.
 
Greaves at CB has caused this?

What part did Greaves play in the 3 goals, other than being caught pushed forward like the rest of the team for the third (instructions not an individual mistake).

It’s not like he passed ball to enemy strikers or fell on his arse or just let the enemy striker take the ball from his feet like Figgy was doing several times per game earlier in the season.

If we'd had the luck they'd had with decisions and deflections then we'd have won. There wasn't a lot in it and we conceded the 3rd as we were trying to find an equaliser and left ourselves open as a result and more so as the game went on.

Goals change games and I thought we were a bit unlucky tonight, but we have to stop shipping as easily as we do.

That Smallwood role where when your fullbacks are forward, you lose the ball and he just dropped in between the 2 centre halves to make a 3 would make a lot of difference to this side. Seri, Woods, Tufan are all too similar the form a deep lying partnership IMHO.

Doc has been excellent as has Slater but they're all energy and graft. They sometimes lack that little bit craft when it matters.

they are and he is, him scoring a free header doesn't suddenly make him a worldie, wouldn't want him here
which is quite the worry

they scored 3 goals against us at home
they were the poorest opposition we've faced this season and they were below us for a reason
but through totally inept defending, they've come, mugged us for 3 points and cruicially ****ed us
