He's a headless chicken at the moment. -

JRC needs to come off, he's knackered. -

Ugh, Dolan runs out for the second half and the stadium deflates. Why is JDT so averse to half time substitutions? -

The problem for JRC is that he was our player of the season after Christmas - he was pulling out phenomenal performances. He's set the bar too high for himself - I think he's been good this season, but you know he's capable of more so you mark him more harshly. -

It'd be offside if we had VAR - so technically it's a stellar spot, you just don't get those at this level. -

If you're able to condemn Ennis and Telalovic on the limited minutes we've seen them they you're a better scout than most - have you thought about a career change? -

We're essentially playing with a flat back 4 with a sitting DM. Hill isn't getting forward much from RB (as he's a CB) and Pickering can't get forward much at LB (as he's incapable of getting up and down the flank at this level). A few weeks ago we had Brittain/JRC bombing on from FB, Travis playing alongside Szmodics and Wharton trying to pull the strings from CM. -

Szmodics, Sigurdsson, Brittain and JRC have nothing to play off. Dolan has been diabolical - surely Ennis can do 45 mins, if not I'd bring Telalovic on - we're playing with 10. -

Did you see Sigurdsson play the ball into Dolan with absolutely nobody around him? Dolan just played it back to Pickering - he has 20 yards of space to run into if he had any awareness at all and just turned onto the ball. Maddening. -

I'm glad the Markanday experiment is over. I'd rather have Brittain as a FB, but I prefer him out wide to Markanday or Dolan, so it's a case of picking our best players in positions they can play, even if it's not their preferred ones. Getting slightly worried about this Telalovic bloke though - he can't get a sniff. -
This England side had no business losing the Euros final to Italy. We'll never win anything with Southgate in charge.

It was the absence of Travis - we had two CMs who were comfortable on the ball today. -

Hill was very good - Chair is one of the trickier players in this league. The GK conceded 0. -

Sigurdsson is first choice, he's just being handled carefully as he missed the entire preseason with a groin injury. I don't think he's played more than 60 minutes this season - hopefully we'll see him finishing games after the international break. As for Wahlstedt, well he's clearly a much, much better GK than Pears... but JDT seems to have a blind spot for Aynsley, so who knows. -

It's funny how we watch the same games, but come away with different reviews. I disagree with almost all of the above - I thought we finally took our chances, which we've failed to do numerous times this season, and we finally had a GK that wasn't just gifting the opposition goals. -

I think he was just so happy that his boyhood club had finally won. -

I'd like to see JRC get a run of games in CM - A. Wharton has looked jaded for a number of weeks. Maybe have him spell Tronstad on 60 minutes? -

Only changes from the sides that have played against Coventry and QPR are a striker for Dolan (I assume Ennis), Moran for Markanday and Brittain for Pickering (albeit he played LB against Coventry). We've looked far more secure at the back since Wahlstedt has come in at GK and Hill at RB - it would be madness to change it. -

Gilsenan gets booked for kicking the ball away. Dykes has deliberately undercut Hill and poleaxed him - no card. I'll never understand football. -

Has barely touched the ball. -

JDT clearly doesn't fancy him at the moment. -

QPR commentators harping on that we've conceded a hatful of goals - without mentioning that we've changed GKs. It's no surprise we suddenly look more secure at the back, is it? -

Smith kicked two of our players then - no card. -

Moran will go on to have a much better career, he's a classier footballer - no idea about the depth of the Irish national team, though, so I don't know if there's room for both in the squad.
