I cannot believe we're tipped by some as autos, miles off it. It's a sh*tting the bed comment from me, but we've been made to look incredibly average by stoke and this Bristol team, and nearly let slip a home win to a newly promoted team who were average at best.

Second best to the ball, not physical enough. We can have all the attacking threat in the world, but if you can't get them the ball, what's the point.

We won’t make the play offs either if this is what we want serve up.

Oggy critical of Dovin for not trying to catch shot, but only parrying every shot. Guess it is the least of our issues. Midfield is vacant. We can have all the strikers we want, but no midfield will scupper our playoff hopes.

It’s exactly as I said it before the game, every season we start like shit away from home. Expected nothing today anyway so would be happy if we manage to get a point, but judging on the Stoke game and the first 45 minutes of this I can’t say it looks likely.

How people can come on here and tell me that Eccles is a top top Championship midfielder is beyond me. Both him and Torp hiding every time we have the ball at the back so they’re forced to go long. There’s no point having such a good front 3 because we simply can’t get the ball to them.

Midfield has been shocking.

We just can’t keep hold of the ball.

Im not questioning the ref. We need to stop being so unstreet wise to teams and allowing them to do it.

Despite the incomings I'm afraid I don't see any improvement on last season at all on the showings so far.

The one positive I'd say so far is that the defence hasn't been as bad as I feared.

Our midfield have been nothing short of pathetic. The most timid midfield performance. Bristol City far more aggressive in the movement and tackling. Torp and Eccles so slow on the ball and so slow closing down.
Latibeudiere, Dovin and Wright only ones coming out with any credit.

Perhaps a tad early to be thinking that

but we won’t playing this style of football in every away game, I would 100% concur there

He has to hook at least 2 from 3 of rudoni Eccles Torp and bring Palmer and Allen on

I think Rudoni has somehow beaten his fellow central midfielders to worst player of the half, his sole contribution is to give away a needless free kick which led to their goal. Need much better from him.

And he looked so assured in pre-season...... I know it's not the same as real matches but how you go from playing with swagger to barely looking like a footballer I've no idea

That was terrible. Really really poor. Robins has been out thought, and we have been out fought, physically and tactically.

They are dominating the midfield, Eccles has been so poor and Torp has been equally poor, as has Rudoni. I love Sakamoto but physically they are bullying him, I'd bring him off for either EMC or maybe play BTA off the right.

Eccles dreadful again. Seems to give away at least 1 absolute howler a game as well as generally doing nothing.

I know people say Rudoni is a major upgrade on O'Hare but his off-the-ball work is not even close to Cal's.

A point on leadership. I don't see how anyone can be watching this and thinking we don't need it. We've got to be stronger and at the moment we're far too happy to go hiding and let them walk all over us.

Torp is awful....type of player you'd love to bully. He switches off and is off the pace which is concerning.

Wright only player of the front 6 that's on it so far

If we could have gone in at half time at 0-0 I’d have felt slightly different about that. We limited their chances quite well but always seem to concede.

Away from home we always look completely different and we look scared to try and pass it along the floor under pressure when going forward.

Latibeaudiere, other than getting outmuscled by an absolute unit in Armstrong, has had a decent half.

Wright has tried to make something happen from nothing and has done okay.

No one else has been great, with Eccles and Torp being particularly untidy and Rudoni and Simms being anonymous.

He's got a point though. When making saves he looks like an outfield player going in when the keeper is sent off!
