MvE played well. Dasilva was decent. Grimes was trying to move us upfield. Centre-backs untested. That was it. Everybody else poor.

They were so monotonous. Lads, mix it up a bit.

That's a sensible post up until that final sentence. He has significant limitations which means he'll never thrive above this level, but he's a good Championship striker, as his goal record attests. His main failing is his lack of anticipation; that cost us today.

I mean, at the stage of his career that he's at now, you kind of have to accept that the bloke can't read the line for toffee.

Is the latter not symptomatic of the former?

They sort of did. They didn't look like they'd be able to score against the training cones. A team playing even slightly better than we did today puts them away. You can see why they've got so few points, even without the deduction.

This. A better striker anticipates it even if they don't expect it.

They weren't; they were organised, but had nothing in the way of threat. They looked like we should have expected them to look; a team that doesn't win but doesn't get battered either. We were slow, played without intensity, allowed them to get into shape and played into their hands. It was...

Just thought they had to turn up. I'm so annoyed about that.

That was utterly feeble.

Simms' anticipation of situations is so poor

Jesus fucking Christ.

How many fucking crosses are we to waft into this fucking keeper's arms?

Got to change something here, this is wretched.

It's almost as if people are nervous because there's something at stake.

This was never going to be the walk in the park that some seemed to expect, but that was a very frustrating performance. An awful lot of sloppy play in there; simple passes misplaced and poor in their box. No-one's playing particularly well, and I don't like BTA on the right.

That's not true though, is it; people have said that he lacks some tactical discipline, which, let's be honest, at this stage in his career, he does.

Chris Whyte is one.

I can't quite work out what's going on; it looks like she has two arms over her head, but two more folded across her chest.

I hate that the internet gives every attention seeking cock-end that wants it exposure.
