Tom

He’s been pretty awful at times and decent at others, overall he’s a particularly average championship full back Douglas was worse, Bell at his worst was as bad as Pickering at his worst

Philips and Edun gone closest for us tonight; as bad as we’ve been at the back it shows we’ve been just as bad going forward

Humbled One of those nights we’ve been outclassed, outfought and outthought - which is worrying against this team and Paul Ince A real wake up call

Why is there a drinks break in a game played at night after a day of rain?

Pickering again at fault, feel TK shouldn’t be beat at that angle either

Ah standard; a referee doing his best to shaft us

Annoyingly Anel having a man of the match performance for Sheff United - one that got away for sure

Decent half that

Great positioning from HP there to be fair Properly on the ropes here

Reading commentators upset that Phillips is roughing up Shane Long - who is over twice his age

Was that Vale that stopped running for a ball that was never going out? Shocking

BBD was caught on his heels, brought his man down and got booked for a free kick that led to the goal? Weird how he was wearing a Pickering mask at the time

Pickering the weak link again costing us

That ‘exclusive’ doesn’t say much at all though if you read it Just that he ‘could’ sign a contract before the end of the window

As rumours circulate that the Spurs move is imminent I’d just say I’d be opposed to having him back on loan as some have suggested By all means throw everything at his development if he’s our player but we’ve nothing to gain from developing him for Spurs

Didn’t we pinch another from them? Less a chant but to the tune of Carnaval Du Paris with the scarves twirling sure we started it after a visit from them Anyway I don’t have a pick for a victory song but can we start playing Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt after a loss edit - I’ve long thought ‘Psycho Killer’ has a great hook for a potential chant

Goes without saying it’s stupidly early but Liverpool 4 points behind City already isn’t ideal for them especially with 2 games they’d have expected to walk through

Anecdotally the away shirt is a popular choice this season - lots seen at Ewood at the weekend

Awful news, what an utterly horrible disease, cruel beyond words Rest in Power Lenny

It’s a risk but give him the big money, it’s a sad way of looking at things but on a contract he’s a goldmine

In fairness I thought the luck went against us today with the deflected goal, our goals were both sheer class and we defended resolutely throughout

Ha ha not quite - the old prescription sunglasses - still couldn’t read the team on the big screen mind! Cracking being back in there as well thanks to a generous offer today, really itching to get a season ticket again

Boys are back in town pre kick off? Anyway I’m ignoring you as you blanked me today - rude

Absolutely stonking win I never felt too nervous in injury time (well until Buckleys horror pass in the last minute) we handled that superbly

Unlucky Ash, should never have come to that though we gave it away too easily leading to the corner
