Brilliant first half performance I thought only let down by poor finishing. Then for some reason in the second, Weimann is taken off and the gameplan appears to completely change. Everyone's blood pressure rises, we invite pressure, we stop the excellent pressing we did in the first. Was very fraught till the third went in and a shame we couldn't take away an otherwise well earned clean sheet. Overall 3 goals and 3 points.

Thank Baker and thank goodness for the goal.

Parking the bus with a team struggling to keep clean sheets, but on the other hand attacking well. He's just enabled the opposition a shot at taking the points.

Straight from the Gary Bowyer book of football management this.

Eustace, what have you done?

Have we parked the bus?

Another good chance, another miss.

Not taking our chances again. A weak shot from Hedges. Need to be testing the goalie there.

Cantwell should have done better with that and made it 2.

We may be shit at passing but that was a good move. Weimann!

Has Brittain ever stopped a cross going into the box?

Passing it around at the back when we struggle with both passing and defending. We're doing exactly what Tomasson was slated for.

Mistake by them and whoever it was who should have struck it took too long.

Amario of Mass Destruction.

When Brereton was shamelessly avoiding injury.

Grim.

Cringing at the post-match interview. "I thought the performance was outstanding from the first minute." "The most important thing is that we were very good tonight, and we were doing all lot of right things." "We've made a lot of strides forward this season." "The result wasn't there but the performance was excellent." "We could have won the game by 5 or 6." Not with those forwards John. Signing off, I feel like I'm in some bizarro world.

To be fair they both started well but they came back from the defeat against Coventry as very different players.

Which makes some of the statements not so long ago about us doing better than last season even more ludicrous.

Would it be inflammatory of me to say we're now worse off than under Tomasson at the same stage? Some posters were critical when I pointed out we had the same amount of points at the same time as last season last weekend. Well it's now more games than JDT and less points.

You've just given me a terrible flash forward of seeing Gueye getting ready for a penalty, big grin on his face, shambling around like he's on Soccer AM after a night on the pop.

"I think when they scored the second goal, we lost a bit of belief on the pitch which was disappointing." So much wrong with that statement.

How some of our players got to a professional level of football is another mystery of the universe.

On the slide and they haven't even screwed up the January transfer window yet. Eustace to be the sacrificial lamb in February, to be replaced by a real tosser, relegation to follow. It's almost a repeat of 2016/17 but that time the tosser came first.
