He could had been a little bit more careful in that situation knowing that there was one min to get three huge points. He's one of our oldest players but you do question it... Todd is our captain so why should there be an issue.. think he will be back for Tuesday.

Precisely my point and different manager would not have lost that QPR game in the manner we did. They would not have blamed a terrible performance on Tronstad being out, simply because in reality he got his selection and subs wrong.

Good spot, given the depressing way the match ended, think we had all probably overlooked this.

Despite what happened at Soton, Will Still is still (will) a level above what we can hope for, should VI walk away.

The seeds are being sown… I can’t believe some people think he is honest.

He's a bad tactician and a terrible man manager. Not a great talent to have under a captainless ship in the boardroom and a still-in-school COO with too much control. I think they'll try to give Will Still the job soon and he'll turn it down.

Not that it’s much comfort but the run of away defeats to promoted clubs has ended. Next one to begin in a fortnight??

Forshaw played well today, he should have be in against QPR, Hickman and Montgomery was never going to be enough to compensate for the loss of Tronstrad.

Odd comments on Cantwell - looks a bit awkward when asked..….

I know it’s only been a couple of days but have you changed your mind yet?

As I said after the last game, major excuse culture under this manager. Last match was all about Tronstad being missing apparently.... well he didn't play today either did he Val? A good manager would say we have to learn how to manage a game better, retain the ball in key areas and see out the win. Some important home fixtures coming up... Get him gone before it's too late!

Exactly the cliché that's used when players are under offer or being hawked around for sale. Do we have players in the team that should play even if they aren't "right in their mind"? What "type" of player is this, versus whatever "type" Cantwell supposedly is?

Seems odd to me that the Wrexham player would personally speak to Ismael after the game and admit it wasn't a free kick. I'm curious as to exactly what was said and why. I get the feeling some context might be missing. At the end of the day if our home form wasn't so shocking we wouldn't be in a position where a good point away from home isn't enough, regardless of circumstances. Of the teams below us we've lost to Norwich, Swansea and Sheffield United at home. We haven't played any of the others at Ewood yet. Keep losing to relegation rivals at home and that will do us in, not last minute draws away from home. The fact we're even in a relegation scrap after finishing 7th last season is disgraceful in of itself. No comment on that from Val, though. He's incensed to even be asked such a question, apparently.

Venkys are definitely on the naughty list.

I love Yuki's work ethic but his finishing this season has been absolutely woeful. He has missed countless good chances, generally when he has time to think, his only goals have been first time reaction efforts and the deflection at Hull. We might have got lucky with Gudjonsson though, he's scoring goals and missing chances but is always getting in the right areas.

we cant keep dropping points like that away from home as we dont seem to be able to get anything at home.

What was stupid about Hedges? All I saw was a terrible decision from a linesman

lol the faint "wheeyyyyy" in the background as the cross goes deep but finds its target lmao

Squads not big enough to allow rotation so players are rushed back or playing through injury for 2/3 matches in a week. Many of us foolish fans could see it months ago.

Harsh on Hedges, it was a very soft free kick. Lack of quality finishing, poor squad depth & a manager insistent on making subs for the sake of it has cost us 3 points in the last 2. Why change the entire front 3 who all played really well. Their replacements were & are nowhere near the standard. The rest of the team were excellent, even Pears! He’s got shit hair but we don’t care 😂

Some harsh but understandable comments. I thought the starting 11 played well and we scored a top notch goal. Yuki’s finishing is getting concerning, the guy can’t buy a goal. Forshae, Morishita, young George and even the dodgy Aussie all played really well I thought. I thought we’d withstood the siege but Hedges stupidity, a great header back to the penalty spot by Moore and a wicked deflection cost us two points.

Being forced out either costs too much or he is outspoken about the shoddy tactics and coaching Or both

He played Hedges at left Centre back instead of Pickering, who had done it before admirably. That was nothing to do with ‘the system’.

Ismael knows his stock isn't high enough to take the high road. He won't have any decent offers like Tomasson or Eustace if he decided to walk right now, so he's toeing the line, just like Kean did when he said Nelsen's knee didn't feel right, then he miraculously started for Spurs a week later.

Captain Donkey and his donkey subs have cost us yet again. Made a triple substitution on Weds against QPR with a third of the game left. We immediately conceded a goal and barely threatened the opposition afterwards. Was a while back but I seem to remember the exact same happening against Sheff Utd. Made his subs today with a third of the game left, we suddenly stopped offering any attacking threat whatsoever and camped in our own half until Wrexham scored. Yes the squad is paper thin and the bench stinks the place out, but that's all partly his fault, alongside his pals Gestede and Pasha. He's clueless. I can only remember his subs having a positive impact once, 9 times out of 10 they make us much worse. He's a dud.
