    Not a single team has been better than us this season, well maybe other than when we played Leeds. We will only have ourselves to blame if we fall short due to missed opportunities and failing to score.

    So frustrating again.

    Unless no one else stepped up to take the penalty ...

    ... if Patterson saves that I'd think it was a very good save.

    I thought we were really good tonight. We went away to one of the best teams in this league and were bold and played with courage. I thought we were unlucky not to get at least a point from the game, but I thought they were good in the 2nd half too.

    Tommy Watson was excellent in the first half, caused a lot of problems, but we still miss Clarke massively and haven't replaced his goals. We're short on the right as well, I don't think Mayenda is the answer and Roberts has lost his way massively.

    Big December coming up now. 6 matches against mid-table teams. All winnable, we need to be positive with our play and get some wins on the board.

    Prehab will be along in a min to give us all a masterclass in what RLB should have done to guarantee 3 pts

    or more likely just criticise what happened

    Every game he runs well with the ball and he’s working harder this year but can’t deliver a championship standard ball into the box. His balls into the box are actually embarrassing for a winger.

    to be fair I think that’s nonsense (him getting MotM not your post). Patto actually made better saves than him.

    To be fair I was saying a CDM was more important than a striker, we have been lacking there for a while.

    Big transfer window coming up.

    That's fair, for all I thought we played well we've not troubled the keeper

    1-1 would have been a fair result but fair play Davies took his goal well and we didn't take any of our chances.

    I don't like to pick on players but I really hope Roberts is taken out of the team and someone else, Mayenda specifically, is given a chance. Dribbling and producing nothing isn't good enough and hasn't been for a couple of seasons. A total rookie in Watson showed what a winger should be doing.

    Regis should have made subs earlier, again. Their subs changed the game in their favour and we could only react to it, too late.

    That aside we matched them and there was very little in it.

    Of
    I think we will be 6-8th mate. We have massive gaps in the squad and some of us inflate our players massively.

    We have had a canny run of games with 80% being bottom half recently and we have won zero.

    We do have moment where I buzz off but there is massive gaps. The bench is ****. RLB won't use subs timely. We don't have a DM and frankly we need a better option on the wing.

    Any team missing 7 or 8 players from the squad would struggle

    Yep. Go for it.

    We played well away against the team who are top of the league. We lost a very tight game, where both teams were evenly matched and it could have gone either way.

    Our fans were still right behind the team after the final whistle. We've got a young squad and have massively improved from last season.

    Players need to realise how good they are. Sheff nothing special. RLB earn your corn. You have a great team, make inspired subs and rest players when they need rest. Points no longer should be considered good result as we are so much better than other championship teams. Striker is still the key position on any team. We dominate possession and should be scoring more.
