    RLB just won’t make big changes to the team when we’re either winning or drawing. We tend not to see the likes of Aleksic get a run as we’re rarely in that sort of situation.

    Aye that was the worst I have seen Cirkin, he was well off it today. He should have been handed a second yellow for that foul to give them a penalty. Redeemed himself right at the end like. I just thought we were mainly outmuscled and outfought today.

    Agreed. Not sure why mayenda has been bumped for game time of late either. Seems to have been shafted.

    I like constructive criticism. You go way over top on a regular basis. Anyway I'll leave it at that

    Mention for Poveda. Given every time he had the ball he was confronted by three yellow shirts and not much help, he did pretty well to wriggle through. Little bit of promise there - and pressure on Pat to have more games like Boro and less like today.

    Miles too early for that mind. Disappointing day but there’s lots of twists to come.

    How can you say that though. I'm sorry but he's the guy who slagged Watson off after one ****ing game. He now calls Rigg 'toilet' cos he's not performing as well as he thinks he should be. Last week he was branding Patterson fat and unprofessional. Its unbelievable tbh.

    Burnley beating Southampton. More games for them not a bad thing.

    Yeah i agree, its sh@t we have no other natural LB to come in for Cirkin when he plays like he did today. Unfortunately he's guaranteed to play next game aswell and the one after despite of any performance he puts in.

    It’s looking that way, we need a big turn around in the way we approach games to catch the top 2 now.

    He’s a fan who speaks his opinion after a game his thoughts are as valid as everyone else’s whether people perceive them negative or not, that’s the point of a forum we aren’t all going to agree all the time

    Dunno if he’s been shafted. It’s a game state thing. He’s not usually gonna get to take Isidors role as Wilson is always a goal threat, and we’ve not really needed the 4-4-2 recently. Also Pat had been doing okay. It’s all back to Regis and subs. He’s never gonna change to manage minutes. He’s unlikely to change a team that’s winning or drawing. He just views it as disruption imo. Probably changes what speakman needs to do from a squad perspective a bit going forward. Smaller squad but higher quality and more versatility feels like the way to go with RLB in charge.

    So are the others. Our form has been better than our rivals in the recent stretch, remember. Easy to catastrophise after a game like that but it’s largely similar for the other three.
