We bottled it against two playoff rivals and in doing so have given ourselves what is likely too big a challenge.

Too many anonymous performances recently from our better players.

Key amongst our summer recruits is a leader.

3 play off rivals, we've played Norwich, Preston and West Brom and lost them all.

After having seasons where we played our own game and beat teams going for automatic promotion, we have meekly surrendered to inferior teams going to the play offs, that's on the manager.

Problem with wright and Simms is they are always on their heels no anticipation or desire to take a gamble and neither are clinical enough at this level ... Not just their fault tonight though

Needs to say his head has gone. He came back proved he was fit and hungry.., contract has distracted him .. half our fault for taking a gamble on not offering him one to give him some security when he got injured .. most players come back from an ACL these days

The fight was missing until the last 15 mins. Why is that? yes we are short on one or two players but this was a crucial game and no one seemed up for it in the first 60 mins? Just don't think the team was balanced again. Stop rotating players so much. Bidders should have played, the first goal may never have happened. Kitching not in and lauteboudier in? Wright not in.
We have a bit to go yet and teams in and around all playing each other so it's not over yet, but we must take the bull by the horns and get ourselves on another run.

We got too obsessed with no loans this season, always space for a few that West Brom one killed us.

On a serious note Robins has been amazing for us and deserves a statue but I’m 100% convinced he’s not the one to take us forward. Too often he fucks the team over before they can get going with stupid selections.

West Brom are a well oiled machine and that gaffer they have is quality.

Genuinely seen someone on Twitter blame Simms for bad touch about a minute prior to the goal. Fuck off

But a lot of the balls into them are rubbish. Or we just keep passing it around the edge of the area and don't put it in and eventually lose it or go back to the half way line.

We don't build pressure on teams. We don't work the centre of the defence when we have the opportunity to do so. It was the same against WBA at home.

Simms and Wright are not top 6 forwards in the division - they are the flagship signings and whatever the excuses they are poor and underachieving - they need to look at themselves and do better

It was, we did nothing to try and get at them after they brought the defender on.

Play offs very unlikely now . We have been bullied too much and the lack of quality and squad depth in certain positions has become all too apparent. Still plenty to look forward to next season in my opinion with additions to the team.

I've seen a couple of that's on the .manager comments in your posts lately. Are you angry with MR? Not a dig, just curious.

What did he say in the changing room when he was explaining his selection? How was he looking around the training ground? Were Kitchen and Bidwell upset about not starting? How did everyones fitness tests go this week?

Torp for their goal is busy telling Eccles to cover space and oblivious to Diagana walking into the box, pathetic
