ironic we bring on Mounie' and Billing to add some height to defend our 3-1 lead...was it 2 headed goals they got, or 3 ?

Said it before but Bacuna Stankovic Grant Diakhaby Mbenza Build next season's team around them Add Pritchard to that list assuming he wants to stay. Proven at Championship level and he’s given 100% in the last few games.

glimpse of it today. karlan ✅ bacuna✅ But big big change this summer needed. There are are a lot of people who need to take the blame. Or... you could try and look beyond the blame, acknowledge that it's been a season of circumstances. Yes, some piss poor play & 2 strikers who couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo, although one of them seemed have a penchant for hitting the woodwork early doors... Some of these players clearly won't be here next season, that's the norm. Move on & move forward, we've a pretty decent platform now, albeit it doesn't seem like it right at the moment. Agree on the 2 positives you've said, with an additional bit of pace on the wings and the potential to create more chances, who knows how Grant will fare next season, certainly looks promising for us. Our team & our game will look a fair bit different to what we've seen this season. I'm quite optimistic that JS will get the fans on-side next season. If I were to be critical of him today, he might have been better bringing on a holding midfielder for Grant instead of bringing on Mounie. No embarrassment today, a couple of runs late in the game by Billing and Mooy suggest we've still got a little bit of desire in the team. We might still stand a chance of keeping them next season, but it could be a battle with their agents as opposed to the players themselves... Onwards & upwards - there's definitely green shoots though, on a thoroughly miserable day...

I agree it's not always on the pitch.
But we'll learn from this season of failure. If we don't then that's the time the blame game should begin...
I've confidence that we will learn...

If grant can score against West Ham etc it will give him massive confidence that he can score in the championship (a league he’s never played in)

Grant was outstanding today. A proper pest of a striker. Reminded me of a combination of James Vaughan at his best and Jamie Vardy with his direct running.
Bacuna was equally excellent. We lost a lot of drive when he went off. He didn't always use the ball as well as he could after driving forward, but that'll come in time and I'm excited to see what he can do. I suspect in 12 months' time he'll be a real fans' favourite, even if he does sometimes look like a card waiting to happen.
Stankovic looked comfortable at the back until he picked up the knock when he came up for that corner. He just didn't look as sure of himself after that. I think he was fouled for their third goal.
Pritchard ran his socks off. He really benefits from movement ahead and either side and he looked a livewire today.
Rowe looked direct and worried them a couple of times. Again, we lost something when he went off - an outlet. He does need to hit the weights over pre-season, and might benefit from a loan to League One, but he didn't disgrace himself and was positive even after his early mistake.
Although we lost, I hope the team takes heart in that performance. To have so many missing and give such a good account of themselves for so long should give them a little bit of confidence at least. It was great to see us looking genuinely dangerous in front of goal and trying to win it even at the very death. There was bit more belief and heart than compared to other recent away performances. When I left the house this morning I told my other half we'd probably lost 3 or 4-0. Gutting as it was, seeing us have a real go was heartening.

Grant looks like he could be a handful. Need to keep him hungry & hope he bags 2-3 more goals this season so he goes into the summer in a confident mood...

I was quite impressed by Rowe.
A giant step up for him and he conceded a penalty early into it but he didn't seem to be phased and kept on trying to make tackles and blocks.
His defensive side of the game is naive and not up to standard really but it's sort of expected, least he wasn't afraid to make challenges.
Refreshing to see that he's direct, beat his man once or twice, lost the ball a few times but wasn't afraid to have a go and made some good forward passes. His pace is electric too.
While none of us want to be in the position that we find ourselves, it brings great opportunity for others and Rowe falls in that bracket.
He should be proud of himself tonight, i wasn't expecting him to be as good as he was.
Don't really know if he's ready for regular at championship level just yet but I'd like to see him given more cameo's and see how he does, maybe a loan elsewhere and regular first team next year awaits?

If we didn't have 3 crocked players on the pitch from 75 mins onwards we would have won that. Kongolo. Pritchard & Stankovic all injured. Puncheon just shit. So technically playing with 7 players. Big shame Bacuna had to go off. Is Siewert pushing them to much in training. Too many injuries.

Agree that the lad looks promising and hopefully he'll get a few more games this season along with one or two other young lads. Siewert has a track record of developing young lads and hopefully the academy might finally come up trumps. Looking forward to seeing O'Brien in the squad next season also.

Don’t quite know what Overton means by his comment but is it just me or have the club been quieter than normal over the last few months in terms of Q&A’s etc. I’m sure we used to be more open, maybe it’s been DH’s illness, maybe it’s just me. Just seem to be lacking in the PR dept. Maybe it’s because I live away .... dunno really.

Hi Sabre. Yes I agree with you and that was the reason for my comment. Obviously I’m sensitive to Dean’s illness but there does seem a lacking in the communication department at the club. The only real link currently is the pre and post match interviews with Jan which seems a little unfair on him to be honest, The speculation about everything is understandably rife on here as we are not receiving the views of the club on our predicament.
