We’ve looked atrocious these last 20 minutes. I’d assumed Radlinger was under instructions to dick around at the back. Did the same against Blades.
Throwing dummy out because we're losing to our bogey side. 3pts from the 1st two games, l'll take that.
I wasn’t crying out for experience as quality and skill win you football matches not old whiney has beens who can’t keep up with the game. Today is a set back but we’ve got 3 points from the first 2 games. A situation I’d have taken before a ball had been kicked
Brush it off and learn from the mistakes. Terrible, terrible weak pass from McGeehan put us under pressure from 2nd minute onwards, always chasing the game and weren't clinical enough today. We need to learn at the back when not to tip tap and be a bit more direct sometimes.. But it's only 2nd game of the season and I'm sure that things can be worked on. Put it behind us and move on. Although I'm sure that some on here will have a complete over reaction meltdown, quoting moore, pinnock and Lindasy as the reason..
Lucky to finish the game not because of his temper just because he was poor how many times can someone give the ball away the defence will get the stick but the midfield was poor apart from mowatt. Hope is injury isn't too serious
I wouldn't quote Moore or Lindsay, Lindsay started and Stoke have been battered and Moore came on with 26mins gone and they've been battered.
I’m a sore loser more than most, especially against them too, but there’s some massive flounces on here wow
Weren’t good enough today and we’ll play better sides than Wednesday. That said we were poor second half, and we will play much better than today and against some worse sides. We will lose games but we’re good enough to win them too. We are a better side than the last one to start a season at this level. I just hope there’s a lesson or two learnt here. Play the fringe players Tuesday, then we go again v Charlton. Big game and one in which to be honest I hoped for our first win before a ball was kicked. If we manage to win and have six points from three games, we’ve had a cracking start.
Lots of teams are going to play this way against us. The players are going to have to step up and put in the hardwork, especially in the middle of the pitch. If we're constantly passing it out and losing it, then the midfield and forwards need to do something that bit more inventive to help out the defence, otherwise we just end up lumping it up field which is no good to us without a target man.
Afraid we were the architects of our own downfall today. Our young players are going to have to learn very fast. Need to get Pinillos back soon with either Cavaré or Williams on the right. Also thought Thiam looked to be our best outlet when he came on. I’m confident we can and will do better than that second half performance.
Though Cam was poor in the middle.. never really looked sharp.. Bit of a contrast to the Fulham game. Like I said in original reaction, not going to have a paddy bout it.. Have faith in the coaching staff to review the match and pick up the weak points.. onto next week.
They haven’t even had time to play all their buys yet. I don’t give a flying fk how old they are either, they are a new team, they need to get the blend right and adjust to each other in match conditions
