Yep. And now he may be injured and we’ll be reliant on Joe Nuttall or God forbid, Brereton.

The few times Ben actually plays striker he looked miles better than what Nutall does. Nutall scores a few lucky goals but he is just inept at anything else. Not that it says much about Brereton. Our best attacking player who doesnt start is still on the bench, I blame TM.

Can you elaborate?

Yup

If you have a natural, pacy full back who has done pretty well this season, you play him.  Not shoe horn one of your favourites in there, weakening the side. 

[yellowsubmarine]

How did Rothwell not come on for Dack?

[DE.]

Third time we've conceded four this season, isn't it? Bristol City, Preston and now Brentford. No team with that kind of record realistically gets promoted. Usually they're at the other end of the table.

I like Mowbray. But as soon as I saw those subs I said 3-2 or 4-2. Could well be 5-2.

I think everybody sank a little when they saw them subs. Rothwell must be fuming

[Sparks Rover]

If Leutweiller doesn't get a go, then what does he need to do.?

[Stuart]

We have nobody on the pitch who can put their foot on the ball, except for Rodwell.

Rothwell should have come on for Dack.

Meanwhile Mowbray will bemoan the loss of three players.

We’ve just had a month to recruit and we still don’t have good enough players on the bench.

Either way - we needed somebody better to replace Graham at 60 mins and to play when Graham can’t play 3 times in a week.

No cover for Bennett on the bench?

It sounded like he had a nightmare and we can’t change it. I like Mowbray, but he’s not infallible and not picking a sub right back when by all accounts Bennett has had a ‘mare is on his head!

We’re people unhappy with the lineup and cleans sheets lately? Couldn’t tell on here.

 

Anything else?

 

[Husky]

It looks like we need Smallwood back in the side.

Well I for one hope he doesn’t moan next week when 1 or even 3 of those are out and we have to field kids on the bench given his post window chat.

The over reaction on here is embarrassing. Get the disappointment but some people way too quick to get the knives out as soon as things take a bad turn

I honestly believe that a lot of great supporters became so used to absolute shit  circa 2010-17 that we have lost some of our belief and it's 'easy' to slip back to negativity.

Surprised Reed didn’t go there.

Only 6 spots - Williams offers more versatility.

Again - did people have a problem with the lineup before the match?

It's not the first time we've let a lead slip, or we've capitulated away from home. It's also not the first time Raya has messed up or we implode when Graham goes off. Tony hasn't remedied any of these issues even though they've been glaringly obvious for a while. It all goes back to poor recruitment IMO. 

[Pedro]

Embarassing.

[Doug]

5 bloody 5

[G Somerset Rover]

5-2. Jesus fucking wept.

[perthblue02]

5-2

[Reedy You're A Star]

No, but when we're getting roasted down the right and the manager doesn't address it, I think we have a right to moan about it.

[Tugay-is-God]

[Rover_Shaun]

Mowray out ?

Heads went big style

Charlie back

[matt83]

Goes to show where we are. Not a criticism but this talk of play-offs is fantasy. Not a million miles away but not a chance this season
