    What's that dive from Matete all about!? Doesn't need to do it, ended up giving away the ball when he could easily have taken it and moved it on. So sad that it's become a normal part of the game. Not blaming the lad, I see it at every level of the game now. Would love to see a manger who refused to allow it from his players. Dreamland I reckon, unfortunately.

    Dan Neil has been absolutely shocking again.

    Lad is either knackered or totally low on confidence.

    I’d take him off for Clarke.

    Have we ever collapsed in form at any other time like this - since that second half at Wycombe it has been disastrous. How can a switch be flicked to do that. I don't think in any period of 5 minutes have we looked like we could recreate that form. It is unbelievably bizarre

    Not creating much - the HT highlights will be very short

    As said before I would take Neil off put Pritchard in his place and bring Clarke on. I would be tempted to take Dajaku off as well and probably Roberts on

    Evans needs dragging off for me and I wouldn't lose any sleep if I never seen him in the team again

    Thing about Dan Neil is that we’ve seen his strip of late. But Alex Neil has only seen him in training really so won’t have really seen what we have. Needs to be on the bench for a bit.

    Awful that mind why no wingers? Best striker in the league feeding of scraps at best.

    A draw, in the current climate, isn't what we need.

    Neil has to find a way to get us in the box and having shots on goal.

    Losing without attempts on goal would be a disaster.

    Pritchard is totally wasted where he is.

    And stop cutting back all the time ffs.

    He crowd is doing their part despite what they're watching.

    by the way, cheers again RTB...

    was going to do a half time report but after 10 minutes i went to watch some paint dry...why are we so laboured in everything we do, the old pass around the back four started but at least evans tried to get some urgency and move forwards, just a shame the rest did not think the same way.

    did their player get booked for wrestling our lad to the floor or was the ref far too bothered with booking evans for a nothing tackle a minute earlier?
