    3 of our 4 top scorers either left or injured.

    Disappointing today but the team did try their bollocks off. Not far off snatching a remarkable equaliser.

    Big learning experience for Hemir and Bellingham, and a great cameo from Pritchard when he came on - he ran the show.

    Yep.

    Lots of people think Jobe was class. He is a good player but not a 10. It's a knack to play a 10.

    He was class for 40 minutes but agree about the no10 role, he was struggling when it was played into him

    I do think no10 will be his best position but i think he needs to be used box to box to begin with. He played some nice through balls, got himself into the box (should have scored) and he blocked passing lanes intelligently

    His head started to go after the miss tho

    Based only on today, I think he could be a decent dcm. He put himself about in the first half and showed that he liked a challenge. In time, I think he could play there

    Just home from the game.

    Thought we looked decent for 45 minutes then a deflected shot took the wind out of sails and it was up hill from there.

    We will play worse and win this season

    We will, reflecting back on it we had a shocking 25 minutes or so but the rest was alright. Def lacked in the final 3rd and we struggled on the transitions, both of those areas will improve imo

    Absolutely. Just not yet. Needs to play deeper. Prichard when he come on absolutely showed how to play a 10

    Had a bit of a panic when it didn't read straight away but think that was more me worried about the queue behind. Dad got in perfect with his card so that a a big bonus

    That’s unlucky from Bellingham there. Flew back at speed and he just couldn’t keep it down a bit more.

    The most disappointing thing about the match today was how the team let their heads drop after going a goal down. We never came out fighting in the second half.

    After watching the Leicester and Coventry game. Those two teams seem to be miles ahead of us, atm.

    So O’Nien ‘nearly’ got in trouble, but he didn’t. He also made most of the best forward passes we made, He was one of our best performers out there today, but his knockers will never admit that.
    We started really well but couldn’t get the goal, Jobe showed some great skill but I thought he lost his confidence after missing in front of goal.
    Second half we started slowly, and didn’t show the spirit we’re used to until we were down to 10 men, don’t understand why, if we play with that intensity and commitment more, the results will come.

    A striker away from being a good side. We'd have won that game with a championship-ready striker. Even broadhead. I thought semedo really struggled I have to be honest. Early days for him and he'll improve and get used to the physicality of the league
