Diarra was awful first half but anything we created 2nd half came through him. Far from the finished article but there is a player in there. Everytime he got clear it seemed to be from bundling through tackles fortunately. I'm yet to be convinced by him. It happens too often to be just luck, however he does do it, noone else creates anything. |

Amazed that anyone could think he played well. It was like his brain was working in slow motion. Needed 5 seconds to think what to do each time it was played in to him 'Needed 5 seconds to think what to do each time it was played in to him' Sums him up really, he hasn't adapted to the higher level of championship football so just looks out of his depth. |

It's crazy to think we are struggling so badly at attacking yet if we didn't decide to sell our most creative player we could of had Thomas and hungbo on the wings with knockaert behind Simpson/ward which would be far more of a threat than any attack we have started this season.
Also I'm gonna say it, anybody who thinks Duane Holmes is a bad player clearly doesn't understand football. He might infuriate people at times but he's a true terrier, he cares about this club and he is one of the few players to show composure on the ball and score goals. He actually looks forwards rather than backwards. We have missed him massively and it shows.

Once again one of our better players, but is being scape goated. He was awful His movement on and off the ball was better than anyone tonight. Take the obvious blinkers off. Then again, Helik is getting praise. He nearly cost us 2 goals tonight with poor communication. 1 he told Lees to leave it and that allowed Bristol to create a chance. Then he leaves another and Vaclik recovers it for him. |

We HAD to win that game. They were there for the taking. Warnock got that wrong Should have done in the last few mins. Cleared off the line & there keeper made a good save before or after? My head has gone again....if any of those two had of gone in.... |

Has the balls for a fight too. When's he back and what's up with Knockaert? Will Oggy dare to ask? |

Second half much better than first. I don’t believe there was a lack of effort at all - I think there is a lack of confidence and quality for sure.
Vaclik did well - right decision to play him - I think experience will give back 4 more confidence.
Glad we played a back 4 - pretty solid second half. Left side of Ruffels and Helik gave little away. More gaps and nervy moments on the other side but still ok. I thought Helik’s performance and attitude was very good - aggressive and a leader on the pitch.
Sadly such a lack of quality in midfield and attack. Rudoni is neat and tidy and works hard but zero goal threat. Diarra not ready imo - yes he gets us off our seats a couple of times but gives me the fear everytime he gets the ball - Bristol C had more chances from him losing the ball so easily, than he made for us. Gonna cost us until more ready.
Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’d play Koroma - we don’t score enough goals and one of the only players we have where I feel he might score a goal when has ball in final third.
Hard to see us clawing back 6 points but we need to get behind the team and hopefully get a bit of luck soon.
I don’t understand the negative NW comments - only been in the door 2mins and impossible to turn mediocrity in to high performance overnight. Not sure what people were expecting - give me NW over MF any day of the week. It might be a bridge too far but I’ll back NW and the players until the end. The mess at this club doesn’t lie with them. For us to be here 10 months after a playoff final is mismanagement from the top.
UTT

Well, correct in that we’d draw! Reasonable result considering off back of 8 goals / two defeats in last two and a more dominant away team. Build on that now and keep moving forwards. UTT |

Not that it made any difference, but what a crap Ref. He wasn't great, was he? Like to see how severely Hungbo was bundled over for the penalty shout again (or whisper better said - Town players hardly protested) |

No goals no win same for both sides & our keeper deserves a pint or two if he was allowed to drink 🍻 |

It's amazing how much better a player becomes when he is not playing in a losing team. As for "one of the few players to score goals", he has scored 25 goals in his career - 264 games, very poor for an attacking midfielder, but I suppose you could say he's prolific when compared to our midfield this season. |

Like to see how severely Hungbo was bundled over for the penalty shout again (or whisper better said - Town players hardly protested) What about when Danny Ward was wiped out by the keeper.Is that allowed regardless of whether he punched the ball? |

What did he do well tonight? Slow in possession, slow of thought, powderpuff shooting, knocked off the ball easily, ran down blind alleys. He's badly, badly out of his depth at this level. |

Are the people slating Diarra actually here? He is literally the only play who is doing ANYTHING Diarra was awful first half but anything we created 2nd half came through him. Far from the finished article but there is a player in there. He was playing samba football in his flip flops... the kids in league 1 will be a joy to behold. |

is Holmes out for the season ? he'd be a good addition if he's back..
tonight ? didn't do enough, going for it in the last 10 minutes was MF's downfall, is NW working to the same tactics sheet ? Worried about the vast acres of space in our midfield..how much backtracking we did, how we allowed a player to run unchallenged 50 yards from box to box...several times.., link up play non existent, didn't do enough for the 3 points...overall 2/10

They seem to do well in League Two. Probably explains why we're down at the bottom of the Championship |

We have to score. I can hear duncfost composing another vitriolic, waste of time moaning thread written in blood. Posted while the refs spit is still wet on his whistle. Can’t be arsed a bit like the players for 88 minutes. |

Terrible result for us but i don’t understand the negativity regarding the performance. All the effort you can ask for and i think that’s as well as those players are capable of playing.
