I guess having calmed down a little, two clean sheets in a row is great.

Our attempt at scoring a goal however, was not

Disappointing result.. Decent performance tbf.. We battered them without putting the final nail in and the positive is that of the last 4 games against them we really did look a class above tonight. Make no mistake they were hanging on and we need a couple of final jigsaw pieces. Worrying we didn't finish them off though and I do think this is probably the start of our descent to mid table obscurity. Just hope I'm wrong!

Tbf it was half chance after half chance by the end. I fear I'm going to have nightmares about walkers chance.

Still say that Hyam as good as he can be defensively is not good enough on the ball and once JCS is fit should be out of the side

I like them both. Jcs on left. Rose is playing well at mo but I don't see hyam as needing to be dropped urgently. 4 good centre backs. Maybe that's why we are 4th in the league....no wait one must be bad!! The table is lying!!

Stopped conceding so many since JCS has dropped out. He's got a clanger in him each week. Back 3 were defensively spot on again tonight.

I'd rather have a defender who doesn't give goals away. JCS was terrible against Luton and Swansea.

I'm left frustrated again by lack of action from the subs bench. The wing back roles in this system are the most hard running up and down the pitch, why not bring on Kane to add something in the final third? Dabo hasn't got it.

Not a fan of having neither Sheaf or Hamer on the pitch either for any length of time - we lose finesse

I think it's a bit harsh to expect Walker to come on in the 90th and do what our other strikers hadn't managed in the previous 90 mins. We're just not clinical enough in the final 3rd, if we were we would have beaten Sheffield United and won tonight. Not sure what the answer is barring signing Mitrovic

Absolutely. The conviction on here that the thing you didn't do is better than you think you did do is amazing.

Evidently Walker didn't get any call at the end and just tried to put it in the danger zone. What a ball from Fadz though.

Some of our passing in the first half was sumptuous. If Maatsen has scored, it would have rivalled any of Citeh's sweatyist goals!

Was a red. If he'd done that when Maatsen was shepherding it out for a goal kick, everyone would have been screaming for a red. The 'last man' is a red herring.

Overall, frustrating yes, awful/abysmal no.

A team that is the image of their manager dirty and cynical.

It was nice to see the player get sent off he made the foul and must have thought a nice yellow there, it’s about time we saw this kind of stuff.

Troy Denney needs to pack up absolutely useless the fastest he moves is to the ref to appeal for things.

Sheaf and Kane start and I think we win that game.

Kelly breaks up some of our attacks and Dabo just cannot cross.

As much as I love Dabo, he offered nothing in the offensive 3rd compared to others

Tbf I've never had my ticket checked by police 3 times. Never seen anything like it, complete overkill.

The issue is that they've blocked off block 13. That was a bit of an overspill before.

Gyokeres should score 1-0 all day. Godden finishes one of those three chances in added time. Thought guokeres was good second half, Ohare disappeared and pretty sure sheaf carrying a knock for Kelly to do 90. Walker should have been on for Hamer and Allen for Kelly. Nowhere near as attacking as he should have been but we still should have won it at the end. Maatsen brillaint game mom

We were anything but exceptional - we ran out of ideas and had no real plan at all in the second half - the keeper was hardly tested all night
Click to expand...

Thats a bit harsh. Just in the second half there was the decent effort by Godden (good save). Vik and Walker should’ve hit the target at the end (Vik should’ve scored). Great play by Vik putting Hamer through, poor finish at keeper. Vik brought down when going through on goal. Maartsen brought down when going through. Some poor final deliveries/not clinical enough but we were by far the better team and should’ve won

Agree with posts about subs though. If sheafs fit he should’ve been on, Kane should’ve been on for Dabo at some stage and Walker at least the last 15-20.

Would have brought sheaf on for Kelly for last 20 and Kane for dabo fresh legs he might have swung in a nice cross into the 6 yard box
