    I don't think anyone could reaaonably argue (apart from the usual ones) that we were the poorer team. Think we deserved at least a point and probably 3

    I don't think we've been good in the 2md half tbh, 1st half we were class but we've caused them no problems in the 2nd (tbf neither have they but they took the chance they had)

    We can’t complain at the result. It’s fair enough. We had momentum second half and then RLB made defensive subs and it swung back at us. Then poor defending cost us.

    Aye and ‘some of us saw through Speakman in the first few weeks’ and are hugely invested in that.

    We have been **** in the second half. Poor positionally and the same players are standing out as well players in the system.

    Untill it changes I think we will drop to play off hopefulls instead of automatic contenders.

    Anyway we have some winnable games coming up. I’d say the next game is our first “must win”

    Ultimately we haven’t been good enough going forward tonight.

    We had a brilliant chance with the penalty and we didn’t take it.

    I feel we should have made the subs a little earlier, the time left for them to impact just wasn’t enough, not sure some of them have even touched the ball..

    Every single team in the championship has a bad run of results, we haven't been great recently but def been better last 2 games

    We do need to sign a CM but it's also not a weakness in terms of starting line up. The bigger issue for me is in tbe wide areas, we just don't have the options to bring off the bench to positively change a game

    I’ve lost count of how many hospital passes O’nien has ballsed up today. Dear me. Been class so far this season and deserves his plaudits for that bur he has been absolutely awful tonight.

    Lucky lucky bastards.

    We really need to start taking our chances. We've played one the league favourites off the pitch for most of the game.

    Honestly I'm pretty happy with this performance. Not happy with the defensive subs and how we've played after them though, very poor game management again.

    Next few games are arguably 'must win' for momentum going forward.

    Unlucky lads, on we go.

    Me too but only so far that can take us.

    we’re not scoring goals. Missing too many chances

    subs were too late again today

    Sorry. That reply makes absolutely no sense to my post. We have been left short in the CDM and CM positions. We are paying that price. Rigg and Neil shouldn't be playing every minute. You know that.

    They are. It's to a detriment of the team and our form has absolutely tanked.
