Not gonna spend all night analysing this. It was a bad day at the office

Sometimes you need a game like this to give you a kick up the arse. Losing to big teams you just put it down to quality but this one may actually make the manager and players have a think to themselves about how they do play must be better if we want to make playoffs

Really excited for my first day as Jake Bidwell’s social media manager! He’s a very reliable player so it probably won’t even matter that I haven’t paid attention to how he’s played tonight. All that’s left is to take a big gulp of coffee and fire up some of those fan forum comments.

It’s a horrendous performance and a shit result.

As much as we all want to go overly emotive on how shit it is, let’s just try and remember it’s still an overall good run of form.

If you want to be cynical you could argue it’s been coming. But I’d like to hope it’s still a blip and we’ll continue to find ways to win, regardless of performance.

FL needs to rethink his approach the next block of games. Defence just isn't good enough and hasn't been for some time.

A return to five at the back for the foreseeable needed.

It does baffle me when Sakamoto is clearly got their player in his pocket, why we don't play through him more. Be interesting how we respond to this now, as that performance was dreadful, so little fight or desire from us all game. Yeah the officials were shit, but that is very literally every other game minimum. But Frank fucked up tonight, Wright is nowhere near being fitor is just not interested.

These nights happen, it's been a good run, these kind of results will be happening to everyone in the run in. Reaction needed and I'm sure there will be one

Carbon copy of game against them at CBS, 10 men behind the ball and struggling to break them down. Hopefully pick ourselves up and bounce back against the Macems.

Spot on. As someone else on this thread said. We are not in the play offs yet. They have got to want it every minute. Nobody in this league gives you three points.

Conceding essentially the same extremely basic goal in three games on the trot isn't acceptable.

We look clueless defending our box at the moment.

Derby are going to stay up, Eustace has got them playing well enough. Stoke or Cardiff to drop I think.

Hopefully that’s the end of the Bidwell experiment!

Ironically, against a side that was clearly going to hoof it at every opportunity it was probably the right choice on paper. But he was appalling and doesn't deserve to be brought back into the fold.

So would I but I'm actually a bit nervous now.

We're on a good run, opposition are struggling and have injuries, we've picked a team I feel confident in. We're away midweek.

These always end up in games we just don't turn up for.
I knew it! I just fucking knew it!
