“But he made some decent saves” He’s a goalkeeper, it’s literally his job, a job he’s done ok enough in but no more than that

Really, really poor decision if this sees TK leave, he’s head and shoulders above Pears who is simply an average keeper, which admittedly is a lot better than he looked previously. I tend to think we never would have got relegated that season had Raya come into the team earlier and I think we would have made the playoffs this season if TK came back in earlier With all the screams of handball (which is most likely was) for the Coventry equaliser, it was a corner that landed centrally about 4 yards out, that’s keepers ball any day of the week! Dumbing down to the nth degree here

Thing is - it wasn’t even a particularly difficult ball for our keeper to deal with but he was stuck to his line. Then we had a chance about 4 days later to make amends - then up steps Ryan Hedges 94 minutes in

As it turns out - it wasn’t a good thing 😞

Pointless blaming refs, we’ve had so many opportunities - 2 off the top of my head with what would have been the last kick of the game, Hedges insanity against Preston and Hirst penalty that he missed

Whilst ultimately inconsequential a couple of things today hugely highlight the issue, we are having to rely on Hedges, Dolan and Szmodics for goals All three are handy squad players but none of them good enough to be driving forces in a promotion chasing team

Can’t decide if it would be sweeter to stop Millwall getting there or Sunderland!

Maybe not yet

Bezza go bye bye now?

Play your best keeper? That stops one of them at least, for the first it’s a direct result of the instruction to play out from the back as well

I don’t care if Pears shouts for it; if he’s not in a ridiculous position that goal doesn’t happen

Ridiculous Pears

Didn’t think there was any chance of us even laying a glove on them here, that goal was sublime, some talent

Embarrassing opening for us

Pears has to command his box, that throw has bounced inside the 6 yard box

Just do our bit but feel the chance is all but gone. So frustrating as we’ve had it in our hands for so long and week on week we’ve had favours elsewhere but time and time again not capitalised on it

Lampard went in with little expectation but hilariously under delivered even that

Can we have a new captain next season please? Travis just isn’t captain material, many weeks he’s barely footballer material

Finally I’ve seen the twists and turns Chaddy keeps mentioning

Not good enough and not enough results wise Pathetic output from the last handful

GET IN

What a let off - Pears going back to his old form

Pathetic start to the half, Bell destroying us in the lead up to the goal

Brilliant - Ash Phillips with parcel tape over the totally wicked on his jacket due to his age

Diaz off, Leonard on, Dolan left
