    No, not at all, what you've just posted is dreadful ...

    ... which you won't consider for a second.

    Talk about a lack of gratitude.

    pissed off with our inability to convert performance into points.

    any team that dominates but misses a penalty and otherwise doesnt create any good goalscoring opportunities is opening themselves up to a sucker punch like the one we got. And he knows it.

    Fair enough. I think the had more threat in the final third and eventually it showed. Dominance is how you view it. Wba we dominated everything but my gran was the keeper. So we dominated nowt.

    Plenty positives and negatives today for me.

    Positives;
    - Control. Been really happy with how we have used the ball in the last 2 games.
    - Jobe. I'm not being hyperbolic here and for context I am of the younger generation, I think he's the best player i've seen play for us. He's at least the player with the most potential i've seen play for us. Consistently superb.
    - Watson. Thought first half he was very good. Definitely trust him going forward.

    Negatives;
    - Chance creation. Slightly better today but it's a serious issue.
    - Roberts. Not even close to good enough. Still not sure what he offers the team.
    - Set pieces. We scored from a few set pieces at the start of the season, where has that went? They are so poor now.
    - RLBs subs. The game was going in our favour. The subs dropped us back 20 yards for no real reason.
    - Neil and Rigg. Both very sub par tonight. We really need either Aleksic and Samed to get up to speed or have viable options signed early in January.

    Overall I'm not concerned about us being poor after that, I thought it was a clash between two of the leagues best sides that fell in one of the teams favour, it happens. I do think we have very fixable problems though and if we fix them properly we can go far this season.

    I won't give gratitude to someone who literally compares me to a troll. That's simply not on.

    Happy days mate. That's what's it is about. Posts and engagement from fans. But I do draw the line over the monty comment. That's not fair.

    You can tell we lost from that alone.

    In bold is your version of reality.

    Below is the actual reality ...

    ... 'You are getting as bad as Monty'.

    Watson’s improvement was very impressive and he troubled a very strong defence tonight. His decision making was improved from the last game - still made a few wrong choices so a way to go there.

    Or there has been lots of debate with lots of good comments between people.

    FFS. It's getting like exile levels this. I can see the turn.

    His confidence is growing every game he plays, it may take time, but there is a hell of a player there

    Clarke didn’t even start the play off final which sounds mental now, but it took him time to get to his peak with us. Watson is improving at a similar speed imo

    I'd say you're worse than Monty and that's what I see as the reality.

    He only occasionally posts, when he does it's pointless drivel and clearly doesn't believe any of it.

    You post relentlessly when we've suffered a misfortune, insist your opinions are reality and repeat the same thing over and over.

    Everyone knows O'Nien's pass was dreadful, you have to repeat it a dozen times as if you're informing everyone.

    Just posted this over the road


    Look at the corners we took tonight. Watson and Rigg over taking them, 17 and 18 year old academy products.

    If people can't get behind that and see how bright the future is then I give up

    That's your opinion, fair enough.

    I've never seen Monty have a snide pop at someone who's match thread you're on.

    RTB hardly launched a savage attack, it seemed tongue in cheek to me.
