It’s days like this that we need a (5 year ago) Michael Doyle type character. Someone to get in the refs ear about O’Hare being fouled all the time. Someone to create a bit of mischief. I thought Kelly would step to that but doesn’t seem to have the “gobby” side to him. It was awful how Swansea got away with running down the clock with every throw in and foul. Doyle would have been right in the ear of the Ref.
This forum amazes me sometimes. On Saturday we played the worst team we’ve played all season and because we win everyone scores 7’s and 8’s yet we were brought down to their standard on only just beat them.
Tonight we play arguably the best team we’ve played all season. We were shit for the first 15 minutes and we’ve got 2’s, 3’s and 4’s everywhere. Had their 2nd goal been ruled out for the offside everyone would have scored 6’s and 7’s.
Agree. Same goes for if dabo scores in last minute.This forum amazes me sometimes. On Saturday we played the worst team we’ve played all season and because we win everyone scores 7’s and 8’s yet we were brought down to their standard on only just beat them.

Who seems to now be in the bomb squadTheir right wing back is better than all of ours combined, including dacosta.
I thought it was an opportunityIt’s awfully strange. Bringing him on tonight was an admission of running out of ideas
2-1 down needing a goal with walker sat there though pete ?I thought it was an opportunity
Yep I’d have had walker on first for godden2-1 down needing a goal with walker sat there though pete ?
60 min latest that needed to happen everyone I think seen it this was around me at leastYep I’d have had walker on first for godden
I remember that incident now and totally agree. It turned an attacking play into a defensive one. I recall last year when we were struggling and losing even though we played well, I thought that we lacked the answers to the “dark arts” that other teams have. The time wasting, yard stealing, injury feigning, Ref bullying, grabbing.First half last night we got a free kick, Patterson stood over it, ref told him to retreat, he only retreated about a yard so Dabo plays the free kick backwards.
Odds on that if he kicks it against Patterson the ref books him. We are so lacking in that sort of nouse its incredible.
Allen has a better “killer ball” than O’Hare though surely ?I think of one our biggest issues, and it’s not necessarily a new one, is just how few players we have who can play a dangerous ball into the box or a killer final pass. In last nights eleven, Dabo and O’Hare get in the most dangerous positions but both have shocking final balls. Dabo doesn’t have a Championship assist yet. Allen isn’t really one for playing a killer ball, which means Hamer and Maatsen are really the only two who can put a threatening ball in. This increases the pressure on them delivering. Even beyond the 11 there’s nothing really on the bench that gives that option. Sheaf can but it’s usually the ball before the final ball

Literally everything we done was too slow and in front of themSome crazy and assuming emotive scores on here. I think I watched a different game to some.
Management team have to take the slack for the last 20/30 minutes, it was crying out for pace and balls over the top, through the gaps for players to run onto. They potentially tried to address that by bringing Jones on, but he neither played off the last man or got into positions to use his pace to run at them.
Equally at times we had 4/5 players on there back line and the balls just didn’t come. Sheaf I’m at CB to help Hamer would have helped, as it was reliant on him picking the right ball each time and covering all of CM which is unfair.
Secondary number 10 is absolutely pivotal in January.

Hamer had a great game tonight. Some of these scores and assessments are just bizarre.
I think the whole stadium knew we wernt gonna equalise as soon a Jodi Jones got on. Still having nightmares wtf was that about!
He needs to go on loan somewhere to get some games. It’s as simple as that. He last played regularly at L2. Playing at the top of the Champ is different soup and he should be nowhere near the pitch until he’s shown that he’s ready.He received the ball on the halfway turn on the edge of the box and had the chance to turn and run goalwards but he laud the ball back. It's going to be a long time before he gets his confidence to go at people.

He showed he had talent at L2/L1 but then again so did Shipley. Sorry to be real about it.
We need an affiliate to push him to that is a higher level than Nuneaton. Ship him to Solihull Moors (does the loan window apply to non-league?, can’t remember) until Xmas window and go from there.
Really hope he makes it but chucking him on to try to turn a high level Champ game was nothing short of a weird experiment. Ok if we were 4-0 up not at 2-1 down.
Ripping it up in league 2 a few seasons ago and looking great in that season is million miles away from where we are now as a club.He received the ball on the halfway turn on the edge of the box and had the chance to turn and run goalwards but he laud the ball back. It's going to be a long time before he gets his confidence to go at people.
He picked the ball up on the corner of the area and drove into space to win a corner at one point, people are seeing what they want to see with Jones.He received the ball on the halfway turn on the edge of the box and had the chance to turn and run goalwards but he laud the ball back.

Fascinating fact, but we've won every league game he's appeared in this season!Who seems to now be in the bomb squad

I think the word “arguably” actual means some may believe that, rather than they were. To me they were far better than QPR. Every team causes us some problems. Luton I agree were far better than us but when as a team you fail to turn up everybody is better. I don’t think Luton will end up top 6 but I expect Swansea will.They weren’t the best team we’ve played all season at all. Luton and QPR were better, Cardiff and Fulham caused us more problems. They just play keep ball, but they were shaky at the back and impotent up front.
2nd half was a masterclass in how to waste time. And the Referee bought it all the time.
