    I’m most pissed that it looks like Leeds may well be top tomorrow.

    I would bring roberts in, mainly for fresh legs. Hume n cirkin would walk back in if both fit, if not I do expect Alese will miss out due to what you said

    Jobe obviously back in and Rigg will push up to AM. Rigg has been really poor last few games, hoping its just because he's missed jobe as they have a class link up

    People who doubted we could get a result were, in fact, wrong though ...

    ... we deserved a draw but could've won.

    I would have been tempted to put Johnson as an extra CB for last 15, take Mayenda off who looked completely knackered. We had long since given them territory. It looked like Regis was sitting on the 1-0, so that sub would make sense. Adil isnt for me, but Ba might have been an option just to give us some legs in the middle. I am happy with the point but I do sense a nervousness from Regis when it comes to the bench. It isnt just this week. But like I have said, he is on a learning curve and I am happy to be patient.

    Just come out of cinema and seen result and timing. Happy enough with that but can understand why you all who lived through it would be disappointed.

    Still top of the league.

    In other news I can confirm Wicked is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Loved the musical and this managed to somehow surpass it.

    I think same espeicsilly if Connolly is out Mayenda will be needed as backup to isidor again, brilliant he looks an option out wide though

    Ballard will drop out simply because we’ll want to play with the ball against WBA. A team that’s drew 7 of the last 8 or something

    To be fair he wasn't far off getting it right ...

    ... subs can be great but they can also disrupt a team at the wrong moment.

    Bring on subs, then lose and it's all down to the manager.

    I felt the players let the manager down today, rather than the other way round.

    We didn't have any authority in the midfield after the break, Jobe was a huge miss.

    Very worrying second half display, more like the second half of last season, than a team at the top of the league.
    Start with Mayenda and bring Roberts on after 60 minutes or earlier if need be, get O/9 back to the center, he was poor to-day by his standards, and keep Watson in the starting eleven, and get Bennette on the bench to provide cover. Jobe is a must in midfield and lets get back to winning games, not throwing them away

    Can’t agree re second half. We let them play because they haven’t got the quality to break us down. And they didn’t. We stepped out missed a tactical foul and let them got what 4 on 3? Our fault rather than their quality

    Jobe against Coventry and milwall we win the game. I’m convinced.

    Ironic that we recently played without strikers and today we started with three.

    Roberts comes in if we want to play more possession based, mayenda plays if we want to be more direct imo

    Why does cirkin walk back in? What did Alese do wrong that warrants dropping?
