What happened to Beerans in the last 20 minutes of the game? Shame all the subs had been used. As a fresh pair of legs would have given us an outlet. Though Harriott deserved his starting place in the team. Extremely raw but has the ability to beat players with pace. An exciting prospect as the seas...

Accrington Stanley away.

urz13 Our midfielders were all being very tightly man-marked - so whenever they did drop deep to provide an outlet they couldn't be passed to as they were too tightly marked.

With a static formation dead easy. Same for the front line.

Bob1871 Al Habsi - 8 made a couple of good saves, seemed calm when he had the ball at his feet

Didn't seem to know what plan b was. Not always comfortable receiving the ball either.

Without Swift the midfield lacks a creative spark.

sloughroyal123 Do you want to waste your Saturday afternoon watching substandard football in a substandard atmosphere, in the cold? Can't see my free ticket being snatched up too quickly

Why spend your time on a substandard forum making sub standard posts if you hate watching a sub standard team that much?

Anybody want a ticket for any of the games let me know.

We would have liked another striker, the club clearly wanted another striker . Therefore, I think it is only natural for there to be some disappointment there. The club was fishing. You wouldn't leave such an important part of the jigsaw until the last minute. Looks like the majority of the squad c...

Let's wait and see.

Samuel, Mendes, Meite as well.

You look at these teams that get promoted and the calibre of players they sign, it really pisses me off how shit we did to try and stay in the division when we got there. Southampton, Swansea, Bournemouth, Palace, Hull, Middlesbrough etc signing quality Premier League players Silly silly money for ...

Hopefully this daft idea of U23 teams entering will get dropped next season.

Perhaps explains his interest in Reading.

At the moment. We've only got. Samuel - Unproven Mendes - Unproven Kermorgant - not pacey enough for a single striker Meite - Unproven There's obviously little else in the market available. There's no loan market either once the window closes. Has to worth a punt. Gyan is team Captain for his countr...

So far Brian Tevreden and Jaap Stam have managed to attract players of real quality. Let's hope that Gyan comes with the right attitude. Last year there something amiss in the squad.

Listening to Man City vs West Ham yesterday on the radio. Man City played a very similar formation in first half, defensive midfielder dropping back with full backs pushing up wide and forward. . Guardiola was encouraging Stones to push forward into midfield when he had the ball and there was space....

This is why the table is meaningless until at least 10 games have been played. Or 23 when everyone has played everyone else at least once. Or 46 when your position may actually have a final consequence. By Xmas the pecking order will be well established. Never known a season with so many changes. O...

Puzzling, that. They also seemed to think we played 3 centre backs? Wasn't at the game - but does that reflect on how little Blackett attacked in the other full-back position? When playing out from the back. Full backs push wide and forwards. McShane and Moore spread right and left wide. Joey drops...

Ian Royal This is why the table is meaningless until at least 10 games have been played.

Or 23 when everyone has played everyone else at least once.

Sounds promising from what you have said. In what way was Blackett an improvement on Obita in your opinion? Good news if it continues. Was a solid debut nothing more. Any player that's come through a premiership academy is going to be technically good. Can fill in centre half as well. Any player th...

This was the worst attended championship football match I've ever been to - can't believe the official attendance of 15k - looked more like about 9k to me Anyone who thinks the atmosphere at the madstad is bad should take a look in at Cardiff - truly woeful Was pretty shocked by Cardiff. Agreed on ...
