At least until we get a replacement. We were always a defensive injury away from a relegation battle, let's hope that it doesn't come to that.

Thought Sheaf was way too respectful today too. Seemed to constantly stand off them.

Piss poor that, no fight, can't believe when people laughed at me earlier in the season when I said this defense is awful. It's Peado Pete and his band of merry men.

Defence was fine until Fadz got injured.

Would love to know what the half time Team talk was. Zero reaction after half time is worrying. Many teams would have come out fighting and put pressure on 2nd half.

Sounded like Norwich were head and shoulders above us but even so, getting 2 goals back I was expecting a better 2nd half, at least for first 10/15 of it

Find it really hard to believe we can’t find a CB. Surely there was a list that Rente was top of and we’ve had six months to find another.

Let the Doug times roll- 2 paperboy WB's and extensions for Wilson + Eccles

We need a cheesy pic of CB holding the shirt at Ryton early this week

BNC looked good going forward first half. Probably unfair to judge JWE on that second half.

Allen plays the way we have since robins took over. Pressing midfielders who harass the opposition

Palmer and Norton Cuffey are massive departures from a successful philosophy - playing both today was a recipe for disaster

Our goalkeeper is shit
Dabo looks closer to retirement than match fitness
Our most experienced CB is now Michael Rose who as CBs go is timid as hell
Our other two CBs are 19 and 22 year old loanees..
Our defensive leadership is gone with McFadz.
Allen has become not just a mainstay in the team but our captain, and he is extremely inconsistent with the ball.
We don't win the ball high up the pitch very often anymore with O'Hare out

As a team we were reliant on Gyokeres, O'Hare, Hamer and Sheaf all playing well to compete. O'Hare being out now means the other 3 have to be absolutely on fire every week. The rest of them are bottom end Champ/top half L1 players.

Time for King to get the cheque book out or he'll be financing a L1 campaign.

First half was the first time he actually harassed for ages. Usually he just stands ten yards off them. Truly dreadful player.

Did okay going forward at times, but so slow. Defensively, we were a joke on that right hand side with him and Dabo.

Doug ain’t no saviour, he’s not even a supporter…..he’ll flip the club to Ashley and make himself a nice little profit and fuck off. I hope so anyway.

Plenty of time to be pissed off about that in the summer if it happens. Got to pace yourself.

Desperately need a CAM, CB, if possible a ST. Severely missing O’hare and even more so McFadzean

The whole defence was awful to a man today. Dabo, Rose, Doyle, Bidwell all dreadful. Constantly caught out of position, ball watching, letting runners go.

Pukki is obviously a great player but Doyle didn't have a clue against him.

We are clearly still suffering from the lack of investment in the summer and have too many squad players in the team regularly, but I really don't think there is any need for all the knicker wetting.

Agree with the guy on CWR. No heart second half. One man team.

His positional sense was diabolical - play him as wing back and your asking for trouble based on that - what’s the point of shipping an experienced player like Kane and recruiting loan rookies? It’s an odd strategy
