I'd say in general we've been wasteful in the final third rather than toothless but last night we really were toothless against a poor Millwall side which is worrying.

17 of 29 goals have been scored by two players. The whole of the midfield have 3 between them.

I wonder if cc84 is actually brummie Nick on the phone I’m as they seem similar in their levels of football knowledge and indeed agree on a lot of things

I think we have been wasteful but we're steadily progressing to toothless. We're on a worrying trajectory.

Birmingham and Huddersfield it was carving them open and wasting chances. Last night positions were wasted and no real chances were made.
The squad needs help, it’s pretty clear. I’ll ask a slightly differently phrased ownership question at the end of this season-somehow I doubt we’ll get less than half wanting them gone

Although we clearly need better owners at this level I don't think it's entirely up to them.
Joy didn't force us to go into a season with three right backs, one left back and Bright as back up to O'Hare.

Other than the strikers and Fadz, I don´t really feel confident that anyone else in the team can score a goal. The midfield do not chip in anywhere near enough.

The squad had too many places that needed improvement to be sorted in one window. Signing Bright was stupid and I said as much at the time.
Still if we had an expenditure comparable to clubs with similar crowds we wouldn’t be scraping the barrel for shit like him in the first place.

When Hamer wasn’t terrified of shooting he was a real threat. Unfortunately he’s clearly been told to rein it in unless there’s something else going on

budgetary constraints could well have dictated why Robins took a punt on Bright though, one that predictably went badly wrong.

That really was back to the days of signing Stephen Hunt and pretending he was the same player who played for reading years before

There is absolutely no way cc84 would be able to correctly input that phone number.

but we've been creating chances, last night was just abject, maybe the amount we're missing is playing on players minds. It obviously needs addressing before we play again.

I compare it more to Peter Ramage. What a talent in his day.

Agree - you can't see Sheaf and Kelly ever scoring more than 3 between them and that's if they played every game (although Kelly has hit a few screamers last season). Hamer will score goals, but hasn't really got going this season. Think some of last night's problems stemmed from Walker/Godden not really looking like a partnership so far, plus the Sheaf/Kelly combination not being creative enough,

Let’s be honest it’s Kelly that’s just not up to the required standard.

For me it’s got to be Allen who comes in for Hamer. Big drop in quality but that’s true across the team.

The tempo disappears with Kelly in the side, he's in decline as a player as what he lacked in quality he made up for in his engine, not sure if his previous COVID infection has affected him but he's way off the pace.

It’s not nice to watch really.

Were you in Block 22 by any chance? Bloke behind me criticised Walker all game. Godden flicked a ball on which went nowhere near Walker. Said bloke accused Walker of not standing in the right place! On another occasion he accused him of not running fast enough!

It was painful. Nowhere near the technical requirements of even a mid-table Championship side.

Sounds like the guy behind me in 19 too, sadly it seems there's a few of them. Was nice to hear another chap call him out for "talking bollocks" though.

Which you and 99% of others would have accepted before a ball was kicked this season.

but that’s now irrelevant

Similar near me too. I bloody love him but Godden seems to be exempt from any criticism when he makes similar errors, but people seem to wait for Walker to mess up.
Needs some more game time with Gyokeres/Waghorn to get some sharpness

So relegation form for half a season is fine if you start the season well?
Circumstances can never alter expectations. Got it.

Block 17, seems he's the whipping boy these days, I thought he did ok considering he was having to wrestle with his marker all night.

No, but you would have accepted it before the season began?

The overwhelming consensus on here was that it was a master stroke.

Strangely it popped up 18,500 on the screen and went off. I can't remember the announcer saying it like usual (unless I missed it).
