    When you have your packet of Skittles before a match, which colour do you eat first?

    Their fans are probably saying the same about their defence too to be fair. 2nd long ball nearly caught them out. Godden is very good at bending his runs between players.

    That's an absolute lifeline handed to us. So disjointed before that. Honestly thought he'd missed it when he struck it. Think the spin on the fourth bounce of the shot deceived the keeper.

    I really don't know why we insist on this faced paced counter style we play when none of our front 3 have any composure on the ball around the box. Woeful marking for their goal. Everyone ball watching.

    Rose is a lucky man to be keeping his place. Can't understand why Sheaf is still out, surely he's been rested enough now. Dabo should have a point to prove so I hope he has a stormer, which will be needed as it's starting to feel stale and predictable.

    Bidwell

    The part that worries me with Bidwell is that he just doesn't look comfortable enough in possession in the opposition's half. Often looks to cross early, which is not necessarily a bad thing in itself, but we don't really have the strikers or get enough bodies in the box to benefit from that and...

    That makes sense now, you're Bidwell's Rolls Royce driver!

    Might as well have thrown Fadz up front for the last 4 mins.

    O'Hare will be black and blue after today. Genuinely looks like he might cry.

    Easy to have a solid defence with the way we're set up today. Good example of what I meant about us playing with no strikers earlier just before they hit the post. Kane crossing the ball for O Hare while our strikers are 25 yards from goal. And that wasn't a fast break with players catching up...

    Catch 22 with Waghorn for me. Clearly needs the time on the pitch to gett fitter and into some kind of form but at the same time, he's not offering anything in the here and now.

    I'm in full agreement. Template mid table Championship team in a template kit playing template football. Big, strong, organised and absolutely boring as fuck.

    Needs at least one of our strikers to start playing as a striker if we're going to get 3 points out of this. We're neat and tidy but no-one is pulling their backline out of shape and they're just sitting relatively deep and remaining well organised. Wingbacks are doing their job well in terms of...

    Gyokeres needs to get his head up earlier and choose his moments to dribble a bit bette. He's, started to give the ball away a lot recently when he just gets head down and drives at players anywhere on the pitch.

    Reminds me of Barnsley last year when they just rotated new players in to do the chopping, as the old ones got booked.

    Only slight negative so far is that neither Gyokeres or Waghorn are really working their back line, both dropping pretty deep looking for the ball in similar positions. Not really working as a pair so far.

    Was a bit worried about Keith Stroud reffing today but those early yellows should help stamp out their cynical fouling.
