This is exactly how its going to be till at least the new year - we win some, we loose some. We get bullied out of possession particularly at home but when the free flowing football works like last Saturday we are a joy to watch. Preston and Bristol today knew exactly what to do - grind us down altho in both games the equaliser should not have been allowed - i will give the ref the benefit of the doubt for the the foul for the Preston one but tonight the handball clearly changed the direction of he ball to the attackers advantage.

I think it’s fare to say 4 or 5 had off days, we looked out on our feet at the end couldn’t even pass 5 yards and find a man, need to rest for Saturday and hopefully get some energy back in the legs.

Standard town, massive win Saturday, 2 home games we should be winning and we lose the 1st one.
Same as other week should beat preston and we lose.
Just wish we could put 3 or 4 wins together in games where we should.
Onto Luton at home Saturday, we owe then for last season

Fucking shite second half. Blowing out their arses playing so many games with a paper thin squad. Their 3 subs made all the difference. Our 3 didn’t effect the game at all.
We are between 4-6 players short of a consistent competitive squad.
Tonight is exactly the reason why people get pissed off with Phil and his 5 strikers comment. Fuck all attacking threat to come off the bench.

Played: 10 Won: 4 Drawn: 1 Lost: 5
I think that’s about right for where this squad is at the moment.
We’re not good enough for top 12, but we shouldn’t get relegated.
Consistently inconsistent!

Two very even teams but their subs made the difference.
On another day either of the two handball decisions could have gone our way and the result would have been different.
We are gradually getting better and Carlos will be learning all the time. Hamer didn’t make a mistake and Koroma and Mbenza are having an impact on games.
I have a feeling that this season will be lots of ups and downs but stick with it and we could be really good next year.

We have to be so much stronger when we are ahead in games. If Millwall had equalised to make it 1-1 on Saturday would be have given up again. Its really poor that we have mirrored the Preston game, 1-0 up and then conceded 2 within minutes of each other and lost. We then barely gave ourselves a chance to go and get an equaliser with some thick players that we have giving away free kicks and wasting time. Why the fuck does Hogg go in on their player like that with only injury time left, does he have to get a booking to prove his worth not giving a toss about the 2 or 3 minutes of our time he is wasting and slowing everything down. Diakhaby as well giving away a stupid free kick while attacking with only a couple of minutes left. Why? Its so naive and it made sure Bristol could see the game out easily without as much as a whimper from us.

1. Referee has cost us there. Goals change games. That first goal is unforgivably bad refereeing. He controls it with his arm, which lets him get the ball in. It's not even a no-brainer. You'd have to be some kind of mole to miss it. So how the linesman and the referee miss it, I don't know. Until then, they'd been completely shut out. 2. Hodgkinson has also cost us there. No options, no depth, no variety. We can't rotate at a time when we're playing Saturday-Tuesday every single week. They're knackered with this style of football. We need more players. Simple as that. We need to be able to bring players in and out regularly when we're playing with such intensity. Bristol City had depth on the bench. We didn't. 3. That's three points dropped. Didn't know PH played tonight? Has he fuck cost us. Sloppy defending has cost us

Threw that away really. Credit to Bristol though. Positive subs and we couldn’t cope with them.
Thought we looked tired from the hour passing got sloppier and sloppier.

I think the quality of refereeing won't even be a topic of conversation with behind closed doors football.
I've watched it in RL as well, there seems to be very little incentive for the authorities to question the questionable decisions because there's not a few thousand fans shouting like feck at them...
Maybe that's why Carlos went straight down the tunnel - to piss in the ref's sports bag?

Really tired in second half. Thread bare squad due to lack of spend in summer, really frustrating because I believe in Carlos he simply hasn’t been backed. Paper peeling off the cracks !!!

It’s a shame we have such a lack of depth in our squad. A couple of decent attacking subs (which we don’t have) would have kept us on the front foot. Eiting absolutely anonymous again. Lots of the players have performed well under Corberan. Some have improved dramatically. Eiting has contributed little. Still time for him to get up to speed, but his performances have been underwhelming so far. Eiting joined us to see if he could compete in a tough, physical league and I think he is struggling. ESR had strength, pace and skill and Eiting does not seem to have either of the first two and without either of those he is going to struggle in this league. He may come good but he has shown very little so far, certainly not a game changer.

its annoying because we are two or three signings from being a top six side Make that 8 players/signings, theres only OBrien Toff and Pipa To be fare two out of the three were very poor today, putting it down to tiredness, hopefully back to their normal standard on Saturday

They brought on a bit of quality off the bench and it won them the game. We have fucking no one on our bench to change a game and it’s so frustrating. Bullshit we have Bacuna (when he’s fit) So it’s not bullshit because he wasn’t on the bench was he?

Totally agree - they bring 2 subs on who have a big effect - we bring Diakhaby and Daly on - nothing against Daly (young lad etc). Watching Campbell struggle to chase that lovely through ball was a bit embarrassing. We are forced to watch some young inexperienced players learn the game and it is costing us.

Though we were on the whole poor today. Apart from last 20 mins of the first half. Looked tired and generally devoid of any ideas. Still should have won or taken a draw.
Pretty much as the season will pan out without the necessary recruitment in key areas.
In Carlos we trust. Utt.

Dog shite second half. Deserved to lose. We were poor second half, but we didn't deserve to lose. We were the better team until they brought their subs on. A draw would have been fair, particularly as their first goal should never have been allowed to stand in the first place. 1 shot off target the whole of the second half. Having no strikers to bring off the bench when your only fit 33 year old striker is dead on his feet tends to work against you when the games come thick & fast. Shame our owner/recruitment team didn't see this coming the last window. It was blatantly obvious that we needed another striker.

Unfortunately, Luton on Saturday could well be more of the same. They’ll come, set up to be solid and hit us on the break or set pieces.

They seemed to have some older heads that played better than our older heads, Brunt, Martin, Paterson... Sarr should stick to the basics instead of spraying 50 yard passes thinking he's Beckham... Ah well...

Unfortunately a 3 day turnround for such a thin squad is asking too much at the pace Carlos wants them to play. Campbell can not play 90 mins but we literally have no centre forward options to replace him until/if Ward gets fit. Some really tired legs in that 2nd half and none of the subs made any impact whatsoever. Eiting, after a bright start, has almost faded from view over recent weeks. We weren’t helped by some referee blunders, but we handed the game back to Bristol and you can’t blame the ref for that. No wonder Carlos stomped off - he knows the reason for the defeat and there’s not too much he can do about it at present. Frustrating...

Players were dead on their feet after 70minutes. The squad needs at least three additions.
Positives. Mbenza had a great 70minutes.. so did Hogg.
Negatives. : clearly not enough investment in team.

In hindsight, It looks like their game plan first half was to conserve energy and hope we ran out of ours. Probably a case this season that the short pre season etc and change in styles mean we will occasionally get done like this through tiredness leading to poor mistakes but evidence to show we shoukdnt be in too much trouble through the season over all.
