Without reading any other opinions.

Much better today, apart from the finishing.

The real score should have been 2-3 as Preston did have 3 or 4 big chances.

Dovin, Bassett and Dasilva excellent.

Our top players let us down today. Sheaf, MVE, Simms not at the races.

Unlucky to lose today, but I have a feeling our ‘Run’ will start on Tuesday night.

How on earth was Bassett excellent? He ran around a lot, shouted a lot and that was it?

He is very much all bark and no bite. But most of this team is neither.

I feel he is lonely. Is there a professional in the Club ? I can't see one. On or off the pitch.

Yeah I feel that too. He looks like he’s lost a best mate or two. Whether that’s Viveash or players he’s released I don’t know?
But as for professionals it’s none existent in leadership. Fads, Kelly, Gyok, Hamer list goes on. None replaced like for like for dressing room presence. Blackburn are rubbing their hands with Fadz. Why we didn’t keep him will never know. You need leadership playing or not playing?

I really hope that your young one makes a speedy and full recovery

Football is meaningless compared with something like that.

To be fair he did link play quite well a few times and made some intelligent lay offs. But overall I agree - running about a lot is good but doesn’t generally win games at this level. Wright is the class forward - just a shame he’s away so much which makes selection difficult.

It’s worrying to think that, come Tuesday night, we could be rock bottom. All it needs is for us to lose to QPR and for Cardiff v Portsmouth to be a draw

We shouldn’t be anywhere near in that position with the players we have.

Chemically it’s nothing to be concerned about, biologically I assume it’s to help muscle relaxation. Stay strong regardless

As for whose fault it is I’m sure we could go on about it for days, but it’s mad to think we’ve squandered one of the biggest gifts that 2 players will probably ever give us. We basically turned £2 mil into £35 mil and then with that we bought a load of players that either can’t play or can’t be arsed to play.

I personally think Robins has a game or two left until I’ll be in the “Robins out” camp.

The coaching set up has not been massively overhauled in reality. Viveash was dismissed for non football reasons and it’s alarming how tactically weak we now are

Do you have evidence why Adi was removed or left? I have seen about 8 different reasons so far. Please provide evidence if you have any.

Did we deserve a point? On the balance of play you’ve got to say yes.. but the issue is; we deserved a point against a really poor Preston team, and more worryingly, we have real issues all over the pitch.

Thought we were better today but couldn’t score in a brothel with a handful of £50 notes. The Norman and Haji misses are unacceptable at any level of football. Our first effort on target was in the 92nd minute.

What total nonsense.

We have a squad of players who are clearly good enough for us to be above the bottom three.

I wasn’t saying we would get automatic promotion.

In isolation the performance wasn't that bad.

If we were sat in midtable then after that you'd probably say it was OK, and a little unlucky not to come away with something.

Obviously when taken with all the other results it fucking sucks.

We're dog shit is about the jist of it and for me it's a perfect storm of people's own mistakes that have made one huge clusterfuck

Robins - hasn't a clue at the minute let's be honest. Even changing shape we look wank. Has he hit the end of the line? Maybe. His press conference yesterday trying complete revisionism with expectations, and little paddy with the fans at full time today say to me he's done for

Doug - his refusal of loans, or experience because it won't make him any cash is fucking amateur. It's affected us on the field massively but people don't want to hear it. He's pissed about with things that didn't need pissing about with and he's fucked it. He hasn't listened to anyone better qualified than him around the club, because Douglas knows best, and fuck everyone else. Him and his nonse brother nowhere to be seen all of a sudden

Coaches - Clearly absolutely nowhere near the level needed. Stealing a living and out of their depth. Training sessions are more intense and technical apparently but that means fuck all during games

Dr Claire + Co - they've not got a fucking clue

Aled Williams - as a defence coach is one of the worst decision I think the club's ever made. We cannot defend for toffee and how no one in the club is amending this is astonishing

The players - Bollockless, spineless little bitches. Not one of them, not even our captain who I adore have the minerals to sort this out. Whinging about fans reactions, soft skinned little weasels and I dont have a clue how we change that

Recruitment - goes without saying. It's been shite

We have four! They may not be world-beaters but they are good enough to keep us out of the bottom three.

I think the real problems are (a) midfield and (b) having forwards who, for whatever reason, aren’t putting it in the net.

A sub par goalkeeping coach in charge of defence explains a lot of what we’re seeing. We concede goals fit for the memorial park most weeks

Agree completely with this. For once it didn't look like we were being ripped wide open constantly though that low bar demonstrates how shocking we've been.

If this was game 1 of the season we'd come away and say there's enough
positives to take from the game.

Doesn't work though when we've been dogshit for months.
