The officials were all crap, but that's what happens when VAR swallows up all the best officials from the EFL.

True. And he can't do anything about the Scienza miss (which was arguably the easiest of the lot) or the Larin miss. But the setup in the first half was wierd - a bizarre collection of players on the left and almost nothing on the right. Massive overthinking and rectifying it meant more players out of position. Tonda tried something, it didn't work. He's proven he learns quickly so let's move on.

Thought we looked ok today, just a frustrating day where we didn't take our chances - another day we scored 4 or 5 and get a pen too. Scienza looked way off the pace in the first half, but much better once restored to his usual position. Matsuki really shouldn't play on the middle - a very confused performance from him good and bad at the same time. We missed a target up front once Larin came off. Also JWP and Bragg are almost identical players so a bit too much recycling and not enough creativity. Tonda had a bit of a mare tactically - way too much thought went into our setup and it was too complicated. Also we lacked a little bit of tempo to our play but I think that was more down to the combination of players. Otherwise Bolton looked like the worst team we've seen this year (which I'm sure is more down to us than them).

A dumb question (which begs the question why didn't he do 2 mins of prep??) seriously blown out of all proportion. Tonda dealing with it in a WGS fashion and people reading way too much into it. Blackmore then making himself look like a bit of a tit by harping on a out it on Adam and Joe. Seriously is this anything for anyone to get upset about??? Simply unbelievable that he's felt the need to leave a social media platform - what is wrong with some of the helmets who call themselves fans?

Looked better than mubama to me...

Azaz was absolutely fantastic!

Id hook Scienza - just not quite on it so far. Feel sorry for Bragg - was playing very well. Adams is walking a red card tightrope himself - need just a little of shithousery and everything evens up

It's ok, the fa stance is that sex offences aren't a serious problem otherwise we'd hear a lot more about a certain west ham chairman...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cmew9w451vx8o Oh dear a certain Middlesbrough seem to be on the dirty money list ...

Obviously this is a bit of a leap, but I wonder if they are both signings courtesy of Ankerson's brothers data system and whether that's why all of a sudden Ankerson resigned because he's wasted more of Dragan's money. Also, 2+2=5

Meh, sounds like we should have won. We'll have some off days. Hopefully the international break gives us chance to sort a few things out.

I see the guardian are trying to stoke the fire: https://share.google/PQ6EezOOG5JvEElE4 I do wish the media would give it up. Maybe focus on something useful like the FPL allocating a referee that used to play for bristol city to our game yesterday?

So basically that's cheating?? -4 for Bristol City

How on earth have we got a referee that used to play for the opposition? I'm pretty sure any affiliation with one of the clubs used to be against the rules? It's bad enough when we have a northern ref when we play a northern team.

Stick with the same starting 11. Make sure transition is as fast as the 1st half against Swansea and all will be well. Bring in shoehorn, mess about with the attacking line up and all will be broken. Tonda over to you.
