[RTB]

0-2 Isak

 

[Nacho]

Now that is very disappointing.

 

[Chip]

Ffs that’s basic stuff.

 

[Nordic]

Bollocks. Sums up our midfield play. Too ponderous and we’ve been caught again.

Shame.

 

[Chip]

Need to get one back quickly before the rot sets in here.

 

[RTB]

Dubravka very lucky there

 

[Chip]

They want it more

 

[The Exile II]

They want it more

They're just better. Like most of the Championship, they've sussed we can't cope under pressure and they're fit enough to keep it up all the time.

 

[Southern A]

They want it more

they want it more and are better than us.

Our lads are learning a hell of a lot tho. Big picture this is a good game for them

Goal had been coming. The class difference is obvious and expected. Keep the work ethic up tho lads.

Ballard had to play it as well. No complaints

Agreed, he had no option but to intercept. It would have been a tap in if he hadn't. He prevented an almost certain goal earlier, poor chap

 

[cumbrianmackem]

Were being smothered here.

 

[The Exile II]

This is where you need a big lump up front to hold it.

 

[Saf]

Massive reality check for us. We are playing a badly out of form mid-table premier league side who have just been turned over by Forest and Luton. They’re totally outclassing us. Apart from Ballard and probably Clark, I’m not sure who else could step up to the next level, if anyone.

 

[RTB]

Tackle 09

 

[Ron]

So close there by Pritchard; clipped the bar

 

[Nig]

Gerri O'9 lad

 

[Prehab26]

Annoyed. Low block. No press. Let them do what the want.

 

[Nacho]

Interesting call giving the foul against Rusyn

 

[Nordic]

****s sakes Dan. Poor ball that
