Looking further ahead likely that one of these will take the THIRD championship relegation spot

Sheff W, Wolves, Blackburn or Barnsley.

You would certainly expect 2 or 3 of those sides to take one of the promotion spots next season

Why are our back two letting everything bounce today? Just clear it. Simples!

Good counter attack opportunity for us. Wilson runs at their defence. Cody takes their CB away, Wilson tries one too many silly step overs and loses the chance!

We have been the better side this half? Our only chance was a 40 yard speculative daisy cutter from fleck.

We have been better than them. We just haven't been penetrative at all. Much better with two up front as well!

They are playing counter attacking football away from home and have created the most chances. They have been the better side.

We were ok!! Wilson has talent! Wood would have made a difference if he had been around last couple of months

Average performance, no width. When the full backs receive the ball they are expected to beat two players an whip the ball in. No proper wide players mean we fail to create 2v1 situations vs the full backs. Also we can't get in behind defences and our full backs don't overlap, none of the midfield 3 are breaking forward

Moussa is wasted on left midfield

Bang on......

I'd add to that - the 3 in the centre are too defensively minded, and yes I include fleck in that, he was often the deepest midfielder today and it seem lie that's where he wasn't to play to get time on the ball.

Their no.9 was a bit of a beast at times, he had Wood's number. Weren't we tenuously linked with him at some point?
