    The goalie dosent offer the defence any confidence whatsoever and the midfield creates absolutely **** all……no drive, no width, no creativity and it just heaps présure on the defence!!!

    A think Solina needs taking out of the firing line asap more for his confidence, I don’t think Russell did loads tonight but we do seem more balanced with him in the team some how…….

    Lastly, pleas take that band off Connell and give it to Roberts!!

    Russell was good when they stood off him but awful when they were anywhere near him but that's Russell all over.

    The keeper. Absolutely horrendous. Sick of us loaning in premier league toddlers who are clearly nowhere near ready for regular first team football. We've done it for years and largely it's been for the worse not the better

    If Slonina keeps his place then it's obviously down to some sort of contractual obligation, the fact he's the best we could get is worrying.

    Connell = average, another one they thought would be the next cash cow so they gave him the arm band.

    Aye, a certainly don’t think he was poor but imo a didn’t see him do loads but like a say he does seem to offer us some balance……I’d like to see him with Connell / Yoganathan and Philips……..whey we actually attacked them in the second half we looked good but we don’t seem to have any width whatsoever, it’s like there scared to commit

    I also suggested at the start of the season, that I think Luca is now 'dining out' based on that one good season he had under Duff.
    I think giving him the captains arm band has been a bad decision, very much like we saw when it was also given to Cauley Woodrow!.
    As for the deal we have with Chelski, and having to play Slonina etc. Can't we just cut our losses, and say thanks to him and shake his hand etc, and send him back there!.

    To be fair, I thought Connell played well last night and the game changed when he was brought off

    Ive been a big fan of Luca’s but this season for me he seems to do lots of nothing creative, he might be a voice in the changing room but on the pitch a think you need someone like Roberts who’s barking orders at folk, it’s all opinions really but there’s certainly more in his game than what he’s showing

    I didn't see Russell do owt much wrong. He hit bar had another effort kicked off line! Gent did well going forward, infact had a good game overall.

    Just watched the highlights and I’ve seen worse errors from a keeper. Getting carried away a bit with the criticism.
