Anyway, if we learn from this then we should be more than fine.

I would like to think we will eventually learn, because last night wasn't exactly a one off. It was like Birmingham all over again.

You'd start Saka over Esse?

Yes, without a doubt. Esse is not a winger. I wouldn't play this formation away from home. 5 at the back.

I would. Esse is a luxury we can’t afford away from home. Saka is miles above defensively.

and Wrexham. Birmingham, Wrexham and Norwich all looked hungrier and more committed than us

Standard embarrassing reaction from a lot of the people on here and Twitter whenever we lose a game.

Reality of yesterday is, it’s probably a draw overall and a silly mistake cost us. It’s going to happen to us, Boro and Ipswich over the next 3 months.

Immediately screaming about needing two new CBs and a LB whenever we lose a game does my head in. We’re top and clear of 3rd by 8 points with 17 games to go ffs.

This is getting a bit tiresome. It’s been two months of people saying “it’s not good enough” and the same faces replying “it’s only one game calm down”.

And Ipswich and Charlton and Southampton. “But but but” every time.

We were on to beat Southampton until JDS committed suicide. Charlton got lucky and we should have beaten them. Only Ipswich were better when we played at home, and even then it took them until 72 minutes to score. The scoreline away to Ipswich didnt truly reflect the performance. Still, we have only lost 5 all season

Literally “but but but”. All those things actually happened not some fantasy you’ve made up about what “should” happen though.

Wow thats an attacking line up.

Basically a front 5 if u include Torp.

Problem for me is the front 4 arnt inclined to chase back. Or help defence

We could get ripped apart. Or could be doing the taking a part.!!

Its certainly brave. In 90 mins might be calling it stupid.

Yes id call that stupid. I called it.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Anyone else still fuming with Torp's delivery from that freekick right at the end ? To not even beat the first man from there was criminal

Furious that he took it, it was a ball for a left footer to take

 

[JSL]

One positive that when Mini came on he looked lively and got behind their fullback a couple of times to make a cross

 

[PVA]

I would. Esse is a luxury we can’t afford away from home. Saka is miles above defensively.

MVE was having a go at him multiple times asking for more support.

You could see him saying ‘I can’t do it, I can’t take two’, as he was constantly getting overrun.

EMC gave Dasilva zero help as well.

Your one post i agree with.

9 points from our last 9 away games

2 wins 3 draws 4 defeats

A couple of seasons ago, Jamie Allen was hospitalised after a Sheff W player planted his elbow into his jaw in the Cup Replay and the FA were not interested in any respective action - On that precedent I would actually be surprised to see any retrospective action taken but we all know the FA enforce their rules as and when they please them, so what happens is anyone's guess

Honestly I'd take another 9 points right now from our last 8. Would mean we need 20 or so points from 9 home matches.

 

[jordan210]

Can we learn how to hook a ball away from the goal line. 3 times now we have smashed it in to our own net

The difference is that incident was seen by the referee, they awarded a freekick but wrongly didn't give a card of any colour. The BTA was missed by both the ref and the linesman, so retrospective action can be taken.
