Too isolated up front at times
Too isolated up front at timesAnyone concerns over the formation?
Don't think you even read posts, just scan them for a extraneous point you can argue about.
Really, really poor in the final 30. Very disppointing as we showed more than enough to get a win today. Defence looks poor, need another CB in and get Grimmer back in the side for Wimbledon. Hiwula played exactly like a player who’d not had a pre-season, hopefully he gets better once he trains more with the rest of the squad because he was very poor today. Ogogo and Andreu were excellent, as was Bayliss. Taking him off was a terrible decision, as was taking off Willis.
Willis had to go off. Was flagging due to his lack of minutes so farReally, really poor in the final 30. Very disppointing as we showed more than enough to get a win today.

Didn’t notice that myself but wasn’t really looking at him, fair enough. Would have probably brought Grimmer on instead of Thompson, but exposed our lack of depth at CB badly.Willis could hardly walk!
Does anyone know if you can buy match packages today and use the first of six for this game ?!
Bloke on CWR moaning we took the captain off, what's all that about?
Bayliss caused the equaliser didn’t he? I think robins disappointed with him not getting round the guy
Did you switch back on?
I 100% agree with you...if we had had a decent striker on in that first half we would have walked that game by a country mile...I don't mind Max but he is definitely not the answer this season on that showingBiamou perfects the overhead kick. He has no real centre forward awareness - when the keeper fumbled Andreus effort he was nowhere near the play - when mason fired a cross in he wasn’t attempting to get on front of s defender

Not me though I was on after my boy samHe’s a clown his name was Pete
I thought he was on the receiving end of a good fashioned obstruction, the type that are foul play but which never seem to get called.Bayliss caused the equaliser didn’t he? I think robins disappointed with him not getting round the guy
Think some people’s expectations were too high coming into this season after last years success. Scunthorpe are a strong L1 side who have competed at the top end of this league consistently for a while now
Got a few easier on paper fixtures coming up. Wimbledon, Plymouth and Gillingham. See where we are after them - we’ll be fine I think in mid table once we get a few more players in and Jones, Kelly and Davies are back available but can’t see us having enough in attack to challenge the top sides
Truly gutted that we lost that and it was ours to throw away. Positive performance and we should’ve been 3 or 4 up before conceding a couple of very poor goals.
Tony Andreu was my MOTM, oozed quality every time he got the ball at his feet. Ogogo likewise. Felt bad for Grimmer, one of my favourite players from last season.
The timing of triple substitution was for me, somewhat bizarre. I get that Willis was blowing out of his backside but to replace him with a rookie to play alongside a young man who isn’t much older was a huge risk which is why I think we should’ve kept hold or McDonald until we had the opportunity to bring in a replacement.
That being said, I remain positive, we played some lovely football at times and here’s hoping we can kick on next week at Wimbledon with Conor Chaplin grabbing his first hat-trick for us!
Regarding the subs, would we not have been better to ask Grimmer to play CB? Or use him at RB alongside Thompson and push Sterling further forward? Shipley on the right didn’t work.
Fat finger syndrome.the chips
Losing at home, to a team missing their 3 best players?Dissapointed to lose but happy with performance. Whole crowd applauded um off. We will be promotion mix im sure
The subs were odd to me, I understand Willis was blowing but Shipley to right mid ? I would have put Grimmer on at right back and pushed Sterling forward, at least Thompson would have had an experienced full back outside him.Awful goal to give away
Their changes changed the game
We have nothing up front, way too far apart
Shipley right mid???
With all the new players we have...I'd be more concerned about a couple of stunning wins in the first 3 games. Happens in every league virtually every season. Big turnover of personnel works initially then flops.Losing at home, to a team missing their 3 best players?
