Worst bit is that we know we are losing the game. Even with 20mins to go, we know we aren't getting back into it, not even a draw. 

Shocking really

 

 

Won’t even get a shot on target

[neophox]

Why not put Dack on???

People rate Hedges, but all I see is a heavy first touch, displaced passing and a tendency to get caught out taking too many touches. 

Like our squad…far too inconsistent.

A striker learning their trade in this league is not what we needed right now, after what we witnessed in the second half of last season.

He's not learning his trade, he's 23 - he's about as good as he's going to be right now.

Down 2-0 and we're passing it around at the back casually...

Playing through Kamenski for the attack 

[West Yorks Rover]

Half-time team talk, one manager gives his players a right rollocking, the other gives them some cake.

I hope it wasn't lemon drizzle.

[BigBar]

Just happy to see out the 2 nil loss..what the fuck????? Maybe try get back into it?? Always seems to be the way ..bunch of snowflakes.

[Miker]

I guess we're just going to allow our best goal scorer remain twiddling his thumbs on the bench?

Too much creativity for JDTs liking

I think Hedges has played much more than JDT expected. He clearly has the best football brain in the side, but yes his brain is faster than his feet.

He's a solid player at this level, but shouldn't be a star for you.

yet he got it spot on against Watford

They raise the intensity levels against the better teams and we tend to get more room in midfield there aren't many vast tactical changes.

When we are presented with bog standard championship sides he can't come up with anything it seems.  Worrying because the league is made up of two thirds those types.  We've seen all this before though not long ago under the previous manager in the covid season.

There's a real danger of going backwards instead of forwards yet the squad is much better than that but this style doesn't suit.

He does a good job of finding space but gives the ball away too frequently. Also lacks any pace.

Rubber dingy men

We've got a lad upfront, on his own who hasn't scored a fucking single goal in this league. That's the answer is it?

When will the club sign a fucking player who can score goals? How many years is it now?

The ghost of Tony bastard Mowbray still haunting us.

[simongarnerisgod]

i hope jdt is soaking up info about our players and come january half a dozen of them will be replaced,definately looking forward to the transfer window and our "healthy"budget being spent,this season was always going to be a kind of rebuilding job

[Tricky]

Gregg OUT 

[G Somerset Rover]

To add on top of the ‘we never get back into matches when falling behind’ fact, we never ever look like getting back into matches either. 

WTF are we doing just passing it around at the back, and not bringing on our best source of a goal?

A very concerning response from JDT again today.

I don't see any signs or danger of us going backwards under JDT. He will take us forward and I am confident of this

BBD and Armstrong.

They'll sign a bunch of kids and a decent player from league 1. Broughton will talk it up like he's selling us a used car.

It'll be reported we were in for some seriously decent players at this level. Then they'll go and sign for Rotherham on loan.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

[neophox]

Crap

[ItsRoverZ]

Pathetic no urgency in this side..  do they realise we are 2 down? Its like they don't care and will take a 2nil loss

[neophox]

Hirst not the answer...

BBD and Armstrong aren't great examples of what the club needs right now.

I mean players who can come in and score goals from the off, not players to develop. Like Rhodes or Gestede.
