Not sure if its excitement but there is a wonder on how he is going to feck things up.

3 goals for Ben in 4 games... not that bad!

[neophox]

West Brom and Fulham will probably run away with this... 

[TimmyJimmy]

West Brom are kick and rush, flatten whatever gets in your way, shoot on sight.

At least that's a plan, we're without any plan at all.

Piss poor referee. All round bad day.

[neophox]

Coventry the big surprise with a 4 th place with 9 points.

A typical fat head side Jimmy.

Aden Flint top goalscorer with 4 goals from the centre half who was on loan at Sheffield W last season.

Pretty good for a wide player too.

No excuse under this manager.  You know before you come he likes to tinker like feck. Personally I have always said Dolan has been a lucky boy winding up here and starting.  

Give over mate he's a decent player who if you were mates with you would be banging on about us signing.

That Gallagher transfer will always be bizaare, after a very poor to average season on loan at Birmingham we came in with £5 million!

That was after he’d gone back to Southampton and done nothing.

Much like when we played Millwall, first half was truly awful. Second half somewhat better, but it's the same old story with this manager of the team only being able to play well for 45 minutes.

The first eleven have enough about them to stay up, but I really fear for us once injuries inevitably kick in.

I thought Ben did brilliantly for the goal…

My lad has £10 on him to score 20 goals this season, at 1000 to 1.

17 to go.

He’s never had a 90 minute team in all the time he’s been here. Even when we got promoted we only played 30 minutes out of the 90 most of the time.

There are worse teams and squads than us.

We are not unique with having a weak bench plenty in this division have.Hopefully a few will come in before the 31st to strengthen the squad

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Stating the blindingly obvious but we won’t win many games with only 2 shots on goal.

Confidence player CLB, he's ever chance if he keeps his head up 🙏

[Bethnal]

Not a fan of the team constantly recycling possession all the way back to Kaminski to punt it long against a team of relative giants. Lots of dawdling in the middle and at the back, which is why Rothwell and Clarkson stood out today. Both Gallagher and Brereton like it to feet although Gallagher can’t really do that much with his.

Just strikes me as them not being coached very much. Not much thought going into the system abs the style of play, but we already know all this, I guess.

[Giant]

The first time we have more possession we lose…….

No.

Very disappointed with today, not so much the result but the performance. Mowbray abandoned everything that was good about our play in the games we won in favour of hoofing long diagonals in the direction of the useless Gallagher who then promptly proceeded to lose it, the last occasion in the first half leading to their second.

We were also screaming out for width on the left hand side of the pitch in the first half when Pickering had the ball, all 22 players were condensed in the right hand third of the pitch. It was quite ludicrous.

Better second half, surprise surprise all our best moments came from wide areas and keeping the ball on the ground.

Time for Mowbray to admit defeat on Gallagher, he is truly abysmal and doesn't have a single redeeming quality. Carter looked way more threatening than him whenever he got into forward areas which shows how bad Gallagher is.

I got in once the odds had tumbled to 80-1. Still £800 isn't the worst
