Its not just O'Hare. I'll keep banging on about it. Gyokeres and Godden don't work and we need the extra body in midfield of the box

If refs don't clamp down on time wasting, the game is ruined. Absolutely shambolic.

Also we are shite

Don't think Robins knows his best XI right now either, which tells it's own story.

Probably not bad enough to lose, but tell me we were good enough to win.

Starting eleven all wrong. We never recovered from what that did to the team. Our football was the worst I've seen from us in a long time. You can't allow the off field politics to get in your heads. It looks that way to me. We must regroup quickly and play our normal game. I think allowing Hyam to leave has clearly upset the squad and mangement and is feeding through.
On the playing side Allen is not good enough at this level. Sheaf needs to pull his socks up - what's wrong with him? palmer needs games not substitute appearances. For the life of me I really don't know what MR's was hoping to get tonight from that miss fit team. It's a little concerning but for us it is early doors.

Both anonymous all game. Should have been changed way before.

No idea what was expected going to 4 4 3 with a minute left

Palmer is unfit and seemingly can’t start more than one game in succession - which sums up where we are as a club

worse than anything I can recall us serving up at home all of last season. That bizarre team selection is on Robins, not one to ever bash him but that was poor. Cast adrift already, no ideas, no fight, shit atmosphere. Even the burgers were appalling. Typical time wasting by those route one thugs, ref oblivious as always.

Preston have a clear plan, not nice to watch but executed it perfectly. We look a team without one atm.

Bidwell and Doyle come out with some credit. Don’t think the forwards controlled a ball all night

Gyokeres was awful tonight, Godden not much better.

I almost wonder if this selection was MR making a point to the owners / board.

Doyle was very good.

That's not what I saw. Preston are well organised but we had more than our fair share of chances. The ball deflected straight to their striker for the goal, that's not happening for us - yet.

Dabo has been shocking - not sure he’s Championship standard, unfortunately.

I've been banging this drum for a while, but it is really showing now.

There are a few other players who usually stand out for more criticism (Allen and Waghorn) for example, but Dabo for me is a real weak link in the side. Going forward he offers very little, almost nothing in fact, but at the back he is often more capable that some of the centre backs.

Positives: Pitch seemed ok, Doyle and Bidwell played well.
Negatives: Starting XI, playing Godden miles from goal, subs, Dabo performance

Taking Waghorn off while leaving Allen on was just wrong.
Waghorn had looked the player most likely to create something.

Do you think even early last season a lot of our goals were lucky. Rub of the green and deflections etc. When that stopped it turned to shit. 10 wins in 41.

Or am I just in a mood.

Doesn't anybody notice the work he does off the ball. Without O'Hare we need his work.

I assume he was told at half time to go hell forleather for 20 minutes, blow himself out, because that was the most energised I think I've seen him in a city shirt.

The midfield just looks so weak. Gaps all over the shop. Part of it can be explained by a lack of match fitness and sharpness, but there are really worrying signs. It's almost like we're treading water until our talisman comes back.

I'm so fed up with this sh*t. The only comfort I gaining from this is that as things get worse is that our owner's investment is dwindling. They want out but the way they're running the club they'll never sell it.

Teams that win a lot of games from behind and score a lot of late goals often can’t sustain it.

Why the fuck didn’t he play better players from the start? Davo Palmer and Hamer are miles above.

What is it all about. Either MR being an idiot or some signal about selling his players.

We haven’t played any of the better sides in the league yet. Norwich will murder this side on Saturday, never beat WBA and the side’s confidence will be shot.

It looks seriously grim and you can pretty much entirely put it on our God awful ownership who are clinging on to a fantasy of taking the stadium all the while putting zero into the club. I am sick to the back teeth of seeing other fans having a marvellous time at our expense
