They are good results. All I’m saying is up until a few weeks ago they are results we’d expect, if not a little disappointing. Both are sides we have an excellent record against, like Boro. I’ve seen a lot of “top 2!!!” But they’re just the same stripes red cunts we’ve been beating for years. And I do think under a proper manager we’d have won yesterday. I thought we handled the red terribly TBH.

What I’m seeing now is base performance we’ve had up until this season.

Take everything else out and draws against these two is par for the course really. Burnley id have expected is to lose.

We were turning a corner TBF. I know you don’t want to believe that. I think the last two were both there for the win if we hadn’t gifted them a head start or could put the pressure on better. We’ve had a bad start and it’s made people think we’re a bad side but listen to other managers and we aren’t seen as a bottom three side like the fans see us.

I think you’re the only one who sees us as a bottom 3 side. The quality we have is clear to everyone else.

We played quite well yesterday.

When they went down to 10 they sat in an didn't allow any space in behind them. That is why a lot of the play was in front of them as there was just no way of getting in behind them.

Not sure 2 up top earlier would of helped much as their CBs were big pricks who like a battle against a forward but look less confident with they need to defend away from the defensive line.

O'Hare while you can't fault his application lacked and real offensive output. He's a good lad but he's not as good as some make him out be. Rudoni for example offers far less off the ball in the pressing game but he has more ability on the ball. Torp when played further forward also can pick passes and hit shots O'Hare cant.

Well in all honesty 1 in the box did nothing as he is 5ft 8 and we persisted with playing triangles outside the box before crossing to nobody anyway .

Simms should have been on much sooner as he adds the height .. we needed to get the ball in the box much much sooner too

Yeah needed Simms on instead of BTA. Should also have been shooting more from distance.

Seeing as our 2 goals came from crosses, surprised we weren’t trying to get it in the box quicker, simms on at half time would have been better, just seemed we stuck to the same plan for too long, we had the advantage and never took it, 2 points dropped
