Maybe to do with Jason Wilcox.

He could always change the tactics. Maybe come up with a surprise or two rather than being predictable.

Why say that, makes no sense and sends out the wrong message. He can play as strong a side as he likes because we are staying in the play-off places. Why not say he's looking forward to setting a team up against one of the best around?

I think one of his problems is he seems to want to be best mates with every player. That's not a healthy way to operate when you have players to manage - they are not your mates Russ.

Might as well put out our best side against Liverpool because we aint getting an automatic spot and the play-off position is sealed. Nothing to rest players for now.

Speaks volumes.

I think we're all scratching our heads at how we can go on a such long run undefeated then suddenly can't beat an egg.

Lots of good points here.

Seems Russ has been rumbled and he is perhaps a one-trick pony. Haven't seen any signs of us trying anything other than the walking football with passes going sideways and backwards just to make sure we retain the ball. We sang his praises during the long unbeaten run and rightly so but the sign of a good coach is what he does when adversity comes knocking. Well, not much is clearly the answer.

Just to put this result in perspective they have 1 point from their 8 previous games including a 2-0 loss at home to Sheff Wed.

A decent coach might have more success pitting his wits against a defence consisting of 3 lumps at CB. It's hardly rocket science. Quite damning really.

I think next year will be worse than dreadful if we do go up. We are not ready to mix it in the Prem and far from it.

Good job we are 15 points clear of 7th.

For me it's all about the intent shown at the start of a game. Start fast and that sets the tone. Start slowly as we have done lately and you get what you deserve. That's down to RM and his staff I'm afraid.

Brizzle and Hull we could just about accept but this one is gonna hurt because they are shite.

About time!

How about prior to kick off?

Predictable.

Pass - excuse the pun.

You appear surprised.

Who are the many fans who called for Stephens to play as a hybrid number 10/CB with KWP on the left? Don't recall reading that on here.

...but I'll learn

Sadly it's very difficult to do that coming on as a sub in an underperforming team.

Smacking of desperation or a master stroke by RM?

Have the subs improved us?
