I actually don’t think they are that impressive either. We’re just lacking any attacking impetus, energy and too many hiding and/or tired.

They have the freedom of the pitch.

Fucking hate performances like this, just zero effort or seemingly a care from the players. It’s your job and you have the motivation of making the play offs.

We go from a game full of concentration and commitment on Saturday to just mentally weak tonight.

100%. That’s why we are so Jekyll and Hyde. Fitness. I’m not sure we’d sustain a play off campaign over 3 games
The difference is, all the other times MR had sod all to spend. Big spending this year and we still end up unable to rotate beyond putting Palmer and Torp on the bench

We haven't played at all well, but doesn't it just feel like one of those nights when everything goes wrong.

Player slips as he is taking a penalty and double kicks it, then a wicked deflection to put them 1 up.

Just seems like it is not our night

Latibeaudiere, Sheaf, and Collins have been dreadful. Wright and the centre backs not much better.

Don't care who comes on, but we need some changes, and we need something from this game. The effort so far has been weak as piss. It's really dissapointing given how important this fixture is that we don't look particularly up for it as things stand.

Nice movement from Simms we could have had two here and we conceded soft goals.

I thought we'd fall a bit short but seems a bit disappointing to be dropping out the play off race this early.
Tbf its looking like we would need 77-78 points just to make the play offs, I'd still back us to beat last seasons point total from this point.

That looked a pen.

Need some changes at half time, Lati has been terrorised, OHare anonymous,

We would be better off going long to Simms like we did against Leeds.

Its been a good season but its clear by this performance we are just not ready to be considered as a contender for promotion. Step too far.

Need to see some fight second half, everyone ball watching, no speed on the counter either.
