    Clarke's chance coming from another poor Patto pass that we got away with. I have no issue with his general distribution but his passing under pressure is a weakness and we're playing into that.

    Exactly, the chopping and changing of his position can't be helping his confidence or consistency

    Played a run of games earlier in the season which ironically was when we were at our best, winning 3 on the bounce against Blackburn, Southampton and someone else can’t remember who then gets taken back out of the team. Really can’t do right for doing wrong you can’t expect consistency from a young lad who’s being played all over the pitch for 20 minutes here and there. If he was from Witherwack he’d get a free pass.

    Feels like another Plymouth this. Home team in poor form, we gift them a goal and look toothless up front

    QPR wasn’t it? Not too sure, scored against one of them too

    TBF we have the whole of the second half and a good bench.

    This so reminds me of TM , poor decisions on starting eleven, needing a tweak at HT, go 2 down and we will struggle big time.

    Second half yet to come. Good options on the bench too. We’ve won two on the bounce, no reason we can’t pick up a good result today, would have taken a draw before kick off personally

    I think its jolly decent of us to give these lesser teams a goal start :emoticon-0100-smile.

    Think Ba is really wasting the opportunities that he has been provided with. Others must be close to getting the shirt.

    Wouldn't mind some changes. These are not great on viewing but we have been sloppy.

    Bristol will tire and gradually sit back ...

    ... we need to catch them halfway between the two.

    Hope you’re right. Any early goal in the second half and we could be away

    Harsh when he's playing 2 or 3 positions in one game. The role he's playing could easily have been covered by Mayenda.

    Roberts really needs to find his shooting boots.

    Yeah. Dodds and players both need to do better. Poor set up and players sloppy.
