Torp played well but keeping him on would have risked injury, given his lack of match fitness. Although Allen wasn't great, you can guarantee his work rate, which we needed, especially with 10 men.
If I remember rightly, our results were not good last season when Allen was captain. He doesn't come across as a natural leader. Think Kitching may have been a better choice or Bidwell.

Just one game too many, we look like a tired team.

Sakamoto & MVE looked particular lethargic - neither players played badly but nowhere near 100%. They need a rest.

Simms got a lot of stick today and he wasn’t very involved but again, there’s not a lot of service. Frustrated Wright hasn’t took the chance at 1-0 but it was a good save.

Torp is looking like a really good signing, as soon as we get him fully match fit, the league will be put on notice.

I'm not sure tbh. I'd go close to full strength, build confidence if we can.

Their number 7 didn't get booked. Criminal. Could have had 5/6 yellow cards including the celebration that the ref completely bottled.

I reckon next league game we might be a bit short up front and at the back. Oh, we got rid of mcfadzean who would have gone straight in and we’ve signed a striker that we can’t play until next season….. great business.

Yep. Would love a cup run but certain players we have to wrap in cotton wool now unfortunately. Still could well beat Wednesday mind you.

Thought Kelly should have come on for Allen when 1-0 up and torp should have been left on .

Torp is not match fit - he was pretty knackered when we took him off. No surprise really, he’d had 5 weeks off before we signed him.

He’s not a 90m player yet.

Straight in? He's 5th choice, hence why he was let go.

He wouldn't have been on the bench today.

What formation is that, 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-1-2?

Wright could definitely start, he needs to work his way back.

He’s the only one who can play with anyone straight in and lead them through a game. Kitchen and Thomas only look good together as they know each other.

Put any of the others together with Thomas and. they are going to look like laurel and hardy just you watch.

4/3/3

square pegs in round holes on the wings but don’t want to dwell on that for the next 4 months, even though that in itself will be tough

Geez, a lot of anger on here this evening.

It's been a fabulous run we've been on and we were bound to lose at some point.

Let's not rip into the team and announce just how shit some of the players are.

We have been on great sequence of results and the players have done brilliantly well for a number of weeks now.

We are just just one point off 6th place.

In big trouble with that side.

Without O'Hare and Sakamoto we're gifting results to the opposition.

Don't think they were easy passes either. Definitely could have done better on one or two though I agree. But they wernt ridiculously bad and worth being told to fuck off

He isn’t good enough consistently enough to be a starter in a championship team with promotion aspirations

I think the touch from Allen took slightly out of Palmer’s path which meant he had to adjust his body for the shot.

Good touch and good shot but should have buried it in the bottom corner

That’s why we were shipping goals, people think he’s finished in the space of 3 months he was our rock. Big mistake.

Even if that was the case, a loss Tuesday looks dreadful and it would be a meltdown on here.

This could be the best chance we'll have at getting to an FA Cup quarter or maybe even semi final for years. We need to take the cup seriously.

Yeah cup run is great but in my opinion it’s not as important as Millwall a few days later

Fadz was behind both Binks & Lati so
Had no chance of playing. He also left, we didn’t sell him.

Agreed. Don’t see why we should bin it off on the very outside chance of winning the play offs. Winning the play offs by the way is a long shot for most teams. So much has to go right
