Good game for the neutrals I guess but absolutely shocking quality on both sides.
Neither Eccles or Ayari can play that role so we have a big problem.
Wright looks great, and van ewijk too, only positives. Sheaf had a good game does all the dirty work

Take a point. Shocking performance.
Robins needs to pull them back for extra training after today. A lot of work to do with this group of players.

Two ways of looking at it though. We have brought in so many new players, it's almost like a new team at times out there and we should have beaten Leicester in that first fixture of the season too, so it's only 1 defeat in 5 games.
Need to give players time to bed-in and gel. I trust MR to get it right.
Still early days

A very strange game, although entertaining.
Missing penalties and giving away stupid goals. Then again, they also played like clowns at times. Wright was immense today I have to say. Hope it is going to gel a bit more, but another draw I suppose is a bit frustrating.

We played our 'Get out of jail free' card there. That can't happen all season.

Think today shows what we all know, team shows glimpses of promise with it not being quite good enough. Van Ewijk and Haji looking exciting.
Defence will be a working progress but at least they are players, and we dropped the ball by not getting a quality midfielder after Hamer left.
Early assessment is mid table

Agree, we were very disappointing overall.

We're better off than this time last season so I'll take it!

Not sure the possession based football suits, we are still far more dangerous as a counter attacking team

Yeh I meant that specific passage of play where he dropped his shoulder and sent both of their midfielders to the shops. Overall though caused more problems for us than then

What, more embarrassing than you thinking Robins should have been sacked and replaced by Kenny Jacket, you complete tool?!

A game of dreadful mistakes! That was a good point in the end that we didn't perhaps deserve. 6 pts from 15 is close to relegation form. I still feel that failing to replace Hamer is a serious mistake. Eccles is a good squad player and he's come on well but he's not a match winner.

Reckon Robins will see this and tweak how we are playing again.

Desperately searching for positives, I suppose you could say that it shows character to come back three times.
And it’s pointless possession too. Not the type that hurts the opposition

CoH is a far superior player to Palmer ffs.

We were very bad for a lot of that game. Certainly don’t look like a side who will be challenging for the play-offs at this moment in time. Luckily we now have an international break to try and work on things but big improvement needed.
We look so vulnerable to the counter and the midfield is completely non-existent (didn’t need another midfielder though apparently
). Thomas, Bidwell, Ayari and Eccles all particularly bad. Sheaf also had a poor game but was basically playing in midfield by himself. Palmer did his typical flair with zero end product. Wright and van Ewijk both did well.

But this season is different. Just ask Middlesbrough
