Completely agreed on the player reviews. At one point earlier in the season I was wondering if Travis would get straight back in but only Rothwell has shown any form of consistency in the middle of the park this season. Johnson is either an 8/9 or a 5/6 and Holtby just hasn’t been effective of late at all. Both look like they need a breather - I’d be tempted to bring in Buckley for one of them with home games coming up as he could be the man to carve the opposition open at home - something we’ve struggled with this season.

He has been anonymous for a few games now. I personally think the writing is on the wall that he’ll head back to Germany or similar at the end of the season. I gather his missus lives their full time with his new born kid - must be quite a strain on their relationship and lifestyle!

Nobody should be surprised at Douglas’ lack of pace - he’s never had any. Fans from previous clubs say he’s poor defensively too but awesome going forward. We’ve seen zilch from him going forward yet, so perhaps that’ll come soon with some match sharpness.

Eh? Beat Norwich (which we won’t as they’re a top half team) and it’d be 4 points from 9. How’s that a very good week?

Forget the top 6. We can’t beat the top 12!

And also, can nobody please say ‘we dominated - look at the stats’. I’m sat here struggling to think of one effort we had in the box outside of Ayala’s free header. 95% of them at least must have been from 25 yards+.

I don’t know why any of us, including me, seem slightly surprised, as we’ve seen this script a hundred times it would seem under Mowbray. We simply won’t get in the top six under the bloke.

Unless I’m mistaken the top team we’ve beaten this season is Preston who are 13th. Promotion? Pah.

Oh FFS. Dreadful. And we have been for the last ten or so. Douglas has been utter sh*te too.

Literally beat me to it. Haven’t been on the ball at all since the change. Need to change something here. COYB.

Johnson not on his game tonight for me, too slow and ponderous on the ball. COYB, let’s get one before half time.

Such an open game. We look like we could score every time we go forward.

We are proving far far too easy to cut open. Nobody putting in a challenge when they break.

It’ll be absolutely huge if Ayala has finally landed and can maintain that sort of form - especially how short we are with numbers!

Stop with the constant digs and just enjoy it. Jeez.

Get in!!! Bristol City won one in six at home. We’ll do them.

Bristol City losing at home to Big Club 1-0. I don’t think they’re all that - we can beat them at Ashton as we did last season.

You would surely keep Arma on as the out ball - as with last season there, one punt up pitch and you never know. Towell thrown in me thinks.

That’s our only hope here I reckon - hopefully it’ll happen, then it’s game on.

I was there. What a fecking horrible day. You never know...we could still steal this 2-1.

We’ve had the rub of the green a little of late so can’t moan too much but Toney goes down like a deck of cards there. Looked pretty 50/50 to me.

What is it with Brentford away and things going 180 in a matter of minutes? Perhaps one day we’ll hold a lead there.

Indeed. Still remember the media creaming themseves when the bald snake had us top after a handful of games through sheer luck.

He was certainly better with his hands than he was his feet. Awful performance.

Played shockingly for two matches on the trot. Cue Mercer for the Bees preview: ‘they won’t get near us. Easy win - like printing money’.
