We have a false 9 that we play aimless long balls to. Surreal.

A false 9 who played the last 2 games at right-back. You couldn't make it up. 

[FudgeDredd]

What the hell is the plan here? Even before the red card. This is like watching David Lynch.

The telling part will be Saturday against Sheffield United

Might be able to mask it behind a bumper away crowd.

Harrison Reid scoring against us would be a kick in the teeth. Did absolutely nothing for us and has proven to be a middling Championship player. 

He would walk into our team ahead of any of our midfielders 

[jim mk2]

It's like watching a Championship team against a League 2 team

We've been that poor

[Exiled in Toronto]

At least this is the best (and much needed) defending practice.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Grade A example of why loaning in these lower prem kids is a waste of time. He should be sent packing back to Brighton after that.  Just like that stupid challenge Braithwaite made at Boro.  How the hell is he in the team ahead of Carter?  At least if Carter does it, he learns from it - so it's some benefit to our club. 

Piss off Mowbray.

It certainly feels like Mowbray is making it up most of the time

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Painful to watch.

[neophox]

Shocking first half. Van Hecke all wrong tonight along with the whole team. Easy for Fulham who dont need to do much. We are really piss poor... straight at the back foot. Rothwell and Nyambe has been shockingly bad. Need alot more from these players...

[yoda's brother]

think i will go watch corrie

Yep, this is infuriating because Carter only got on because this lad screwed up. 

So like you say, what was the point in loaning this guy and playing him ahead of our own young players. 

[neophox]

This is a game you have to be on the front foot or you will get bust big time.

[neophox]

Edun and Brereton the only ones who tries but in vain.

Why is Nyambe marking Mitrovic?!? Surely you put Lenihan or Van Hecke on him?!?

The classic just outside the playoffs performance from Mowbray…

Unacceptable from Lenihan the captain and Mowbray as the manager. Mitrovic didnt even need to jump past nyambe!

If the fans understand than Lenihan or Van Heck should be marking mitrovic why not our players/manager?

Disappointing to concede in that manner

[superniko]

Mowbray did say pre-match that he doesn’t have a plan for Mitrovic. True to his word anyway given Nyambe was marking him on corners. 
 

[TonyM]

Sometimes you just play against a team who are an awful lot better than you are...

Handball in the box ? - not really, it was headed onto his arm from 3ft away- never going to be given.

Handball by Reed ? ...possibly, although we would moan if it was given against us, the challenge by Van Hecke ... absolutely stupid.

Fulham/Bournmouth (and maybe West Brom) are going to walk this league.

Did he genuinely sat that? 

No plan for a bloke with 18 goals coming into this game?

The amount of ego it takes to just pretend that your genius will stop the best striker in the league by not even trying to is astounding.

Come on, we haven't turned up at all

I'm so glad I missed this, as it is I'm only moderately pissed off.

That is pathetic. Stuart Downing just highlighting on Sky sports that Lenihan is the best headerer of the ball and should have been marking Mitrovic 

[Butty]

First goal so sloppy. Second goal horrendous marking. Van Hecke blaitant red card. Could we have had a pen? Maybe. Games over anyway. Glad I’m stuck in work tonight 😂

Ya, he did. I watched it 

I give him the benefit of the doubt at times, but it was embarassing. He said I'm sure you'll tell me later if I was wrong, or they will on social media anyway 

That's what he said

I'm sat at home with a bad cold or I'd be sat in the Jack Walker Stand now bitching to everyone in earshot.
