    Got told today by someone close to a coach that they don't rate aleksic and he's not what they had hoped for when buying him. I never believed him but you can kind of wonder why he's not getting a game when q defender comes on for a midfielder. Saying that though why does he get on the bench every week

    I doubt they don’t rate him but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not at the level they thought at the moment. Mind you if that was the case you’d think we’d see him in PL2

    Fuming. What a waste of a second half. RLB has to take that one. On him.

    Pissed that one away, really annoying this one, suspensions and a few injury concerns Atleast there’s a a break for them to rest I guess

    Ah well. Good first half, ****e second half. And also the next game looking like a real long shot.

    Most disappointing thing for me are the decisions made by RLB. Shows he doesn’t trust the bench he’s going to need to use versus Millwall. Also shows he was happy with a point.

    Deal with? You realise the fist one was a lucky deflection falling perfectly. Second yes, but the first was a massive slice of luck

    Not that we deserved any more than a point

    Threw that away, shocking result given where we were at half time. Lost our whole shape when we went to 5 at the back, surely Aleksic is able to play for 20 minutes?

    So disappointing.

    I said I would take 12 points between the international breaks, which we got. But feels disappointing to draw 3 in a row

    Especially being 2 up today

    RLB has to start using the squad rather than changing formations or systems - hate going defensive when ahead with plenty of the game to go

    2 dropped points that like, don’t want to hear any nonsense about that being a “tough game”. 2-0 up at half time and they’d created nothing albeit we’d scored two screamers whilst not really crating too much. Reallt poor decision to go to 5 at the back imo, they were already starting to control the game and that just invited more pressure on. Thought we really missed Jobes creativity in the midfield, the midfield 3 in general were really poor.

    I think that would be what they think, as I said I didn't believe him when he told me but you have to think

    Instructional nightmare forced upon us by subs

    Injuries in midfield and forced into a change

    no midfield options and people shy away from Henderson
