    Automatic Promotion hopes hang by the slimmest of threads

    We lost 5-games in 2011/12 | Wigan lost 7-games in 2015/16 | Sheff Utd lost 6-games last season.

    We've already lost THREE!!...

    Well, we dominated them, didn't take our chances and then conceded a carbon copy of Wigan's first goal. Need more of a cutting edge, maybe need to start playing Dijksteel. Come in Number 20? (Oh god...)

    I said I'd leave it till 10 games in to judge our prospects. Looking sensible sadly....

    It's not how many games you lose, it's how many points you win.

    We seem to have stalled this week.

    Over to you, Karl.
    (in a nutshell, please).

  • Its true their Goalkeeper kept them in it but look at all the shots he saved... He barely had to move for any of them as they were straight at him

    Need to make the opposition 'keeper work a LOT harder than that

    Another false dawn start to the season under this regime? Or is this team still "the real deal?"

    I wasn't there today so won't comment on the game but those who were getting over excited about the start need to have a look at themselves. And that is not me writing off the season but it lasts 46 games! A decent six games means nothing-we need to be consistent for a long stretch and the signs shown this week ain't great. Also, with the state of mind in the stands, the league we are in and the trigger happy owner, we are only a couple more defeats from the toxicity returning-KR needs to turn this around double quick......
  • I just don't get it. They never normally let us down in a derby game

    Yes, as we no longer have Millwall to lose against, we're giving the points to Gillingham instead

    This would be a good week to avoid this website tbh. Didn't get the rub of it today, although there were a few problems. If we don't beat Bury then maybe the problems are more serious than first thought.

    Wasn't there but have to say last season we would have drawn that game : - )

    Another bad result but still only 8 games in.

    Easy to put defeat to Wigan down to losing to a good side, can't really say that today.

    Over to those who saw the game.

    With the promotion of Millwall it's surprising we found an even bigger bunch of Pikey's to lose to.
  • Playing the same 11 3 times in 8 days perhaps wasn't very clever.

    We don't have many options, but surely Sarr and Aribo should have been given some game time

    As long as he is unhappy enough to the sell the club. That is all that matters.

    I watched on the stream and it was poor.
    Other teams will suss us out more and more, get the one chance and that will be that. The lack of forward threat plus the seeming lack of a plan B is possibly going to damage us this season. Those six points just dropped are significant. It can be redeemed with a win at home to Bury than at Walsall but that is now looking like a very difficult ask.
    We also looked rather tired, methodical at best, but no particular zip, and towards the end it looked as if each player was hoping some other player would get a breakthrough rather than taking responsibility.
    In the first half we were on top, but as Gillingham improved we got worse, there are no excuses about this one, we were way below where we need to be today, way below.
  • Normal service is resumed.

    I wonder why I thought this season might be any different.....all the same roadblocks to success are still here.

    Things can't and won't change until the shower of shite 'running' our club have gone.

    Well, Ricky Holmes was clever enough to earn himself a day off next Saturday.

    According to the BBC sports report we had 54 % possession , 23 shots compared to 9 and of which 12 were on target compared to 5. How many chances do we need before we score ? That failure to add a further striker from the end of last season to 16th September is looking it's going to be very costly indeed .

    If Reeves is not fit then who is coming in for Holmes?

    No way we're getting promoted.

    Nothing to bring off the bench to change it.

    Magennis isolated.

    Solly was poor.

    Their fans are a strange lot.

    PS Solly was below par, and Holmes booking was needless and the club ought to fine him for it as it will let his team mates down.

    Guess it'll be Ahearne-Grant or Dodoo

    just for clarification, I know I have to 'get a grip' but when can I 'wet the bed' or 'go into meltdown'?

    Good start to the season slowly unravelling and while we created lots of chances today its clear KR has been given a paper thin squad that will not last in a promotion place until January sadly.

    Its all so regrettable and avoidable.

    This is going to haunt us all season, or at least until January if we bring someone in then. Magennis isn't going to bag goals every week and we absolutely needed someone who could come in and get us a goal when we need one. We don't have that. I know the onus isn't only on a striker to score, but with 12 shots on target, we should have buried at least one of those.
