I would always want us to play in the top division. But I don't think we've got the financial clout to keep up any more. What money we do have we've become very good at squandering on dross. The championship is the natural place for us now.

Another team has beaten us without having to play well. Thrashed us actually. Without braking a sweat.

The predictable Fourth.

Looking at the squad I am not sure what we can really do differently. None of them have game changing ability really. There is no alternatives to Hoj or JWP

It's a good development game for them. Gives the youngsters a run out and more goals to build confidence. No danger of losing. Easy training style win. No need to push too hard really.

Obafemi on? Seems an odd one

Very few quality options though. Ings seems to have found form but everyone else is unproven or already shown they aren't good enough. A bit like at the back I guess. We are mediocre.

What can we actually do to change it though? No better on the bench.

Ings needed to put that away. Did everything right but good defending. There is a glimmer of hope but we will concede more. Its pretty much a certainty

Agreed. Didn't see at first. Defense at fault for not closing down again

Keeper didn't move. Odd.

Truth here. Money has been spent and squandered on dross. Can't blame the manager for that. And now there isn't any left. But Ralph hasn't helped with some idiotic decisions either in games gone by.

Goal back Ings! Great run Valery

It is at the moment. Have the players stop believing Ralph's rhetoric?

Wide open at the back.

Looks like it's going to be a heavy defeat unfortunately

Two things we lack. The ability to defend and the ability to get a shot on target. Everything else is great.

Ref has been pretty shocking this half doing them a favour. At least 2 corners that weren't actually corners given.

Time to make some subs.

Which works in their favor unfortunately

Expecting 3-1 shortly. We're playing our usual game of pass pass give it away.

He's been watching too many MLT videos.

Let off there. Kane usually finishes those.

He takes a good pen? Agree. He isn't good enough consistently enough. No pace. Can't shoot. Can't defend. Always nearly there and not quite there. Very frustrating player who hasn't improved at all in the last few years.

We got lucky with our goal. A lot of huff and puff and nice triangles. But we always seem to play a deliberately under strength defence and it shows.
