Our central defenders left players free, on the edge of the area, three times one of which resulted in the goal.
Covering elsewhere imo. Also flannagan needs replacing. Once 3 starting defenders brought in (and hopefully a couple of back ups) we've potential to rip this league up
That can happen when no one follows the runner. Neil pulled out to the winger as the fb went up the inside. Neil couldn't make up the ground to stop the cross. Seems to be the modern way with crosses. Let the come in from wide as its a low % chance of scoring, rather than say a pull back. Totally agree with needing a settled back 4 with two actual fbs
I'm not knocking Flanagan. Thought he did his bit yesterday.
There is nothing concrete to say we are even in for this feller never mind that we’ve failed to seal the deal. Too many people getting worked up around things that may not even be happening.
We need to get the U23 full backs into the first team for Tuesday. See how they get on.
No need for panic. We've got a 17 year old kid at centre half and he did just fine. It's League One.

Was better than his normal standard but he's not the answer imo. Squad player at best imo
We do need a proper LB. But, Dan Neil won the ball back for us to win the pen so in that sense, he got us back in the game.
I'd change the full 11 for Tuesday. Not arsed about the league cup one bit.
I’ve got him ignore and I only put people on ignore it they are really bad so for that reason he can gan to ****e !
He was murdered in first half. If he won one ball great but he didn't set up the goal. Maybe once he's in his position he will later on season and actually win us games
Dead right tbf, pretty much what this window has done to people, myself included
Played well yesterday did Flanagan. Solid.
To be fair we havr no idea if we have struggled to close deals as we dont know who we have actually been in for, other than names linked on social media and in the press
dan neil cannot be held responsible for that goal mind, it was a combination of a few errors by several players.
dan neil is doing a good job filling in there but at the end of the day he has more of a midfielders mindset than a defenders and that is the problem just as it was with onien, who also did a sterling job in defence but both became a target.
while i have been happy enough to wait for 'the right player' if this latest deal has also fallen through it is starting to look like a problem...either that or people are just pulling names out of a hat as they also seem to be taking forever until they apparently fall through, then pull another name out.

This for me.
Yeah got caught out a couple of times but in 96 minutes of football that is going to happen to many full backs. He was solid in the second half, its always a good sign when the man you are up against is taken off as the Wigan lad was, shows a job well done.
You can see even at full back he has great vision and a delicious left foot, yes a couple of wayward ones but he played some exquisite passes that completely caught the Wigan defence out.
It's also good to see that McGeady has confidence in him which is a big endorsement. A couple of times he played Neil the kind of pass on an overlap that he would rarely pass to Mcfazdean.
They got in down both sides in the first half, not just the left. It's different to Winchester playing RB. Dan Neil is an inexperienced right footed CM being asked to play LB, he won't get much protection from Mcgeady (no full back would). Winchester is more experienced at first team level and has played RB before and has a massive grafter in Gooch in front of him. Did Dan Neil get beat a few times? Yes he did. Did he grow into the game and give everything? Yes he did. Will he get better? Yes he will. I'd rather have him playing than Mcfadzean
He certainly did. The ball down the right wing for Winchester then on to Gooch was a class move. Keeper to their box in 3 passes
