    You said we didn't test the keeper. He saved a penalty.

    How many saves did Patterson make? Up until 67 minutes they hadn't had a shot on target.

    Roberts hasn't hit a barn door all season why let him take the penalty.
    JOBE was very quiet
    So it's O9 in the middle next game with Ballard.
    Watson motm for me on his first half showing.

    Opinions are great but not when they're totally predictable, relentless and repetitive ...

    ... yes we all know it was a poor pass from O'Nien, we don't need telling a dozen times.

    I don’t think they deserved the win but we didn’t deserve to win either. 0-0 would have been fair.

    Mundle and Cirkin are massive misses to team hopefully Speakman and board step up in January and fill gaps in squad

    Patterson literally had 2 shots in about 30 seconds and that was it

    They didn't deserve to win at all, a draw might have been a fair result as didn't think we did enough in the 2nd half but we dominated the 1st

    inhavent caught the game but it looks like another game where we had the chance to get 3 points and played solidly enough to do so but loss points, in this case, from loose moments

    I think we have the tools, the parts, just missing a few key pieces and we will be there

    Not just Roberts i'm pissed off at though. The number 9 of any team should really be taking penalties unless you have a proven pen taker elsewhere in the squad. Isidor has to be taking that surely?

    Also, it's hard to criticise RLB but his subs today were poor. It dropped the team back by 20 yards. Plus, Aouchiche is trusted against one of the best sides in the league but can't get on the pitch against Millwall when we had even more players out? Makes no sense.

    I am sure I said open play. I just know Patterson made saves in open play. Their keeper didn't. They had more shots on target which also shows our keeper was busier.

    Look. It's a mute point. We are winless in 7 and the same issues are here now that were here in game 1 of this run.

    January is huge, I think it is for most teams but we def need a couple of additions

    Hopefully enter January on a good run of form

    Anyway, two home games on the bounce to keep the pressure on at the top.

    It's a long season still

    The squad is big enough, it's about getting players fit and keeping them fit

    yeh the subs today annoyed me. I really liked how it was shaping out with us having a more attacking tilt on the pitch and Sheff Utd going defensive. We then took a step back.

    He's not a defensive midfielder and his game is suffering for it. Saying that I don't think he'd get in ahead of Jobe or Rigg.
