Disco Stu

He reverted back to KWP and Manning pushing high and narrow, leaving Rothwell totally exposed as it he isn't a DM that can sweep up and cover the spaces. Without Downes, leaving Stephens back with Bednarek and Hardwood-Bellis when out of possession kept us pretty solid against West Brom. Reverting back to the system that didn't work against Bristol City is what lost us the game today. Leaving such talent and experience on the bench struck me as arrogant. Aribo and Brooks especially were both dominant last game so to keep them on the bench was an odd decision. It was like the second half against West Brom didn't happen. We were playing strong opposition today that are in potent form since their January arrivals. You play your strongest players in top of table clashes.

That Liverpool game is a pain in the arse.

Pretty damaging that. Russell really dropped a bollock with that lineup. That Rothwell miss at the start was a pivotal moment. Really poor today and Hull asbolutely deserved winners. So disappointing, it feels like Russell has thrown the match.

That free-kick was a joke.

Not even Che thought he was going to score with that shot.

Noticed a lot of players slipping tonight. KWP looks in a lot of pain.

Well and truly outplayed. Where's Aribo? Where's Brooks? And why have we reverted back to the system that failed against Bristol? Without Downes, Stephens providing extra cover without the ball seemed the next best thing. We're getting ripped to shreds again tonight. We'll be playing this lot in the playoffs and I'm not looking forward to it.

Crap from Russell tonight. That lineup shows lessons not learned.

This has been really poor.

He found the solution against West Brom ffs. Why switch back?

Rothwell doesn't shoot with his left foot and now we're 0-1 down. FFS.

Should have been out of sight first half hour but I'm pleased we've kept ourselves in the the driving seat for second. We looked shaky again without Downes but it was a deserved win in the end. Two good goals and and a clean sheet so got to be happy with that!

No Downes no party.

"Leaking". Must have pressed space before the N and it corrected to leaky. I wasn't going to bother correcting it because I didn't think it was that hard to decipher but I'll edit it just for you 😘

Sorting out the defending should be the priority. We can't keep leaking goals if we want to stay in the race for top 2. Clean sheet please!

This will hurt the goal difference. Very concerning performance. Reminiscent of Prem Southampton without Romeu. We don't function without Downes and it was a mistake to not sign an adequate backup. If £12m Charles can't do it, it was a poor use of resources.

Game over. We never turned up.

Not sure if reliable or if already mentioned but better Juventus than Forest. We stand a better chance of getting him back!

Nevermind. Thought I noticed him limping after kicking the ball. Moving alright at the moment.

Fraser looks like he's hurt himself?

Where will Smallbone transfer to then? The Premier League?

lol at Holgate shouting "SLAG" 😂

Unfortunately he can't defend. If we keep leaving chasms like we did against Norwich, the odd assist will not be worth the trade off. Bree for me every time because he knows how to defend which is the foundation of any promotion chasing team.

Plenty of chances to win that. Got to respect the away point but we've lost ground on Leeds today and failed to capitalise on Ipswich stumbling.

Hammond needs to stop saying "He struck it too well". If he struck it well, he would have slotted it low past Gunn.
