Proves my comments early this week, 1 shot in 45 minutes, we need strengthening up front.

Without doubt their goal gets chalked off var for the foul on our right back, no question.

I'd say functional at best. Didn't make any glaring errors but a clear downgrade on Brittain.

Good to see the standard of refs never improves, that’s not even a difficult decision to make Use your brain, why would he go down unless he’s fouled, he is making that ball. incompetent cunt.

Very early days for them all, but I agree so far.

Didn't realise Hedges was playing🤣

Is Travis not holding the goal scorer all the time, even still got a grab of his hand when he puts the ball in the net?

Looks like I'm in the minority but didn't really think Alebiosu was all that great tbh. McLoughlin the only new signing that looks anywhere near and guess what, he's the only one with Championship experience.

If it’s the other way round and defender knicks it back from Ohashi and then goes down in his own box there, can you imagine the ref waving play on.

Ref the difference. Alebiosu pinioned from behind so he couldn't clear the throw in for their goal then that stonewall penalty not given.

Seeing a replay of their goal, is Alebiosu not getting dragged all over the place when trying to clear? Looks like it shouldn't have stood to me.

Absolutely shocking from Trav for their goal too. It’s textbook from him though. Too busy wanting to pull an arm or a shirt than actually be goalside of his man

RB has done okay - still a downgrade. New CB I like henrikson looks like he’s got cement boots and has made some silly fouls, looks well off pace. not impressed with de neve as an attacking Left midfielder. ohashi -unlucky hedges to come on at half time. overall very disappointed, tho we did settle towards end of the half. Still nothing going forward and teams will be very comfortable against us defending. kargbo and gueye on.

Kargbo for De Neve, Miller for Hedges and move Alebiosu further forward. Gueye for Axel with Ohashi just behind

Webb is such a pillock. Pen all day long against De Neve then Ohashi, ok but similar against Travis earlier outside box gave them a free kick. Get rid of Webb. He doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

We look dross so far but completely expected with the lack of investment and quality. De Neve is another Ryan Hedges. Toth looks worse than Pears. At least McLaughlin and Alebiosu have looked decent though. Henriksson not had a kick yet (only at WBA players!). Feels like another season we can pack up and go if we concede the first goal. Powderpuff.

Very poor on the whole that first half. Came into it a little bit towards the end, clear penalty not given as well. Positives: Alebiosu looks eager and is trying to get forward as much as possible and has actually bee ok. McLoughlin looks calm and composed on the ball. Negatives: Everything else. Attack is so disjointed and toothless. Axel looks lost, De Neve and Hedges are ineffective out wide. Ohashi is stranded and isolated leading the line. Toth having a wobble. Travis and Tronstad not really getting grip on the midfield. They look weak. Would make 2 changes at half time: Kargbo for De Neve who is already a bit of a bloody mess now, and Gueye for Hedges, put Axel on the right and Ohashi as number 10.

Half of poor quality football. Not convinced by Toth today - I've liked him so far and he's streets ahead of Calamity, but his decision making and distribution have been dodgy so far. Good save though to keep it at 0-1. Sean Mc has looked decent, as has the RB whose name sounds like a Harry Potter spell. Hedges is criminally poor though, isn't he? He's made a couple of good runs off the ball, to give Ryan Abracadabra some space down the right. But, on the ball, he's horrific and very wasteful. O'Hashi is doing the best he can, but needs support. Also should have been a pen at the end of the half.

The first 15 min was quite good then lost it for next 15 to 20 min and gave away a soft goal which we can nit afford to do, the rest of the half was OK and it was a pen the ref got that one wrong so let's hope for better, we do neec more power up front

Those that where happy Dolan left are in for a rough season if the solution is Hedges and De Neve.

With our lack of actual wingers, I would put alebiosu up to right wing, take hedges off and put Miller rb. De Neve off for Kargbo and Gueye on for Ohashi. Woeful stuff as it is at the minute

'Teasing low ball' our commentator called it. Nah mate it was just shite.

Nothing whatsoever wrong with their goal. Should have had a pen for the Ohashi incident.

all of the efl patches on my shirts are peeling off... poor from the roverstore cba employees

Terrible first half, but the fact we could have had a penalty (rightly or wrongly) shows we've still got a chance. Concede again and it's game over though, and I can't see us getting any more than an undeserved scabby draw at best.
