All the opposition need do is play a high press. Tactically inept first half yet again. While the manager has many positive attributes. The lack of experience at this level is a nagging concern, The high press didnt really cause any problems. It was squeezing the midfield and giving no space there....

How late do you leave a sub in hand though? - Meite and Joao injured past the 90th minute and he was trying to push us forward to get back into the game - final sub window was used in the 83rd minute. If he did make a mistake it was not brining on Esteves and Semedo on at the same time rather than ...

After last night not optimistic for this. We looked knackered and they have had the extra day. No Joao, Meite or Puscas so our forward option is basically Baldock. QPR always look quite tidy to me, but seem to concede a lot of stupid goals. Have to hope we can be a lot more solid at the back than we...

If Meite and Joao have substantial injuries, that's the worst part about last night. We'll drop down the table like a stone. Go quite solid 5 in midfield. Look to stifle the opposition and score on the break. Get a loan in. Going to have to squeeze something out of Baldock for a few weeks, and hope...

Yep very disappointing and doubly so being as it was my first time at the ground for 9 months Birmingham were excellent in the first half. Really stopped us playing and looked dangerous themselves. Second half they stopped playing, sat back and resorted to shithousing. They really were there for the...

We had to resort to long ball stuff. None of our creative players were up for it and Meite was anonymous. When Joao stepped up I just knew Etheridge would save it. I think that moment will be pivotal in our season. Hope I’m wrong. Yeah i wasn’t confident at all either We actually did ok at long bal...

First half outplayed. Second half Brum just kicked the shit out of us and time wasted. Weirdly went away from the tactics that served them better in the first half But I guess they earned the right to do it after coming in at 2-0 but tbh it almost backfired on them. Penalty miss really did knock th...

Just looked at the stats - 25 Brum fouls - could have been plenty more and no shots in the second half. That did sum them up. Really should have capitalised

Doolittle Missing the pen completely knocked the stuffing out of them. Made it painfully obvious how much they rely on Joao.

I thought Joao had a really poor game tbh

Hound We’ve actually played the press pretty comfortably tbh. It’s in midfield where we’ve struggled

where we've been muscled out of it

Yep muscled out, given no space and as someone correctly said they have been very good at closing off the passing lanes

Houndy. Not a great watch for you tonight. The worst part is that none of us have any belief they can turn this around. A very lazy and weak first half. Not at all. Brum have played very well, no space anywhere on the pitch. Very tightly marking Olise everywhere Interesting being here. Moore doesn’...

That's the idea though 16/17 - he started on fire, got injured, poor second half of the season 17/18 - kept picking up little niggles, had a pretty awful season Last year - started the season really well, picked up an injury for a few weeks, had a good run over Christmas, but was poor in the second...

Yep i think those comments might have been more that I thought we played pretty well throughout even in that second half more than a criticism of Bournemouth though

Think they will fly out and be sold out today. is the next tier decision on 16th or is that when any new tiering would be put in place? Its on Sky this one isnt it? Yep 16th but I would expect that if Reading is tier 3 it won’t happen until the 17th. Yep on SKY. Bought our tickets for Norwich today...

Swansea seem to have become a defensive team that concedes very few but doesn't create a lot either. Not what I expected tbf Bournemouth only had 1 shot on target didn't they? Or did they add some more late on Bournemouth had most of the possession (unusual for a team playing against Swansea?) but ...
