    FT 1-2, better second half, but why do we leave it so late, mind you ref was shite with that non foul on Leaburn  pull on the edge of the box, 
  • Showed a lot more fight in the second half... Shame we were always up against it with two soft defensive goals conceded

    Some positive signs with the effort shown from the substitutes

    At least we've not lost anyone to a one match ban, and those on four bookings now have to survive 10-bookings to avoid a two match ban

    Much better second half.

    So much more of an attacking threat after those changes were made. Great effort in the second half.
    Let’s hope Jones takes note.

    That was brutal. First half we were shite. Second half we deserved at least two goals. However a narrow defeat and overall an improvement on the last few games.

    An improvement but it's still 0 points
  • Find a way to stop leaking goals, and we can start to work on the attack again

    Anderson, broke up more than Cov and played some decent passes.

    Fair play to the second half team. Made them work for that win.

    Fullah must start now - we might as well through Apter in he wants his career to not fade out - 

    We need to soend 5 mill + in Jan or else we've got a 50/50 shot of going down. 

    5 loses in a row is devastating for the psyche - we need to find a draw from somewhere and FAST. 

    All plans can be ripped up - all formations can be ripped up becasue what was working is no longer. 

    Start again - clean slate for all. 

    NJ needs to get a tune out of some of these players or else it'll be away days at Burton before we know it.

    Plenty to take in a positive sense from that second half.

    Really liked the Doc Karoy Ibby trio in the middle.

    Don't know why Boro players are celebrating like they just won the league, we were def in it more second half and could have deserved a draw in the end, if only we had an f'in ref may have helped...

    Fullah was the only one to get near Hackney (almost sold for 20m+ in the summer) when he came on. Beat him with the ball a couple of times too.

    Agree but I think Jones will stick with the formation and try to jam players into it. Could work if he has TC as a wingback, Aprter the other side, start Fullah and starts Tanto with Leaburn.

    Campbell cross into the box, but the keeper comes to collect the ball.
    Someone needs to show him how to cross a ball. Maybe speak to Apter.

    Start Karoy, Ibby and Apter on Saturday please. That first half shape needs to go in the bin. 
  • Much better second half… but It took an own goal to get us back in it ….still have loads of work ahead.

    Which one? The one we started the half with or the one we ended the half with? Both led to abysmal results.

    So glad for Apter to get on finally. We have been unlucky in that we have had all the top teams whilst we have so many injuries. The substitutes made a massive difference with their energy. A lot to take away from the 2nd half performance. Fullah should be starting for me

    Why are they calling QPR the Loft. 
  • Let’s not overreact. That wasn’t great but we’ve basically had a run of ex prem teams while we’ve had a load of injuries. We’re still in the fight and with January coming we’ve got a chance to plug a few gaps.

    Karoy makes the odd catastrophic mistake, but cannot deny he has the legs for this level, tenacious and even shows vision. Needs to play. 

    Fullah looked a handful as well.

    Badly need players back. Or to make some really crucial signings in early January who hit the ground running. And that’s just to stay up.

    But can't pass very accurately

    Maybe you counter that with someone alongside him that’s better in that respect. Or coach him.

    Either really! Don't think we've got the players to be playing diamond/box midfields at all.

    Agree but I don’t have faith that Jones will. Hopefully I’m wrong.
