Not sure about 3-0 down 🙂 Maybe I'm watching a different game.

They missed 3 very good chances. I know you're not going to score every clear chance but they should've buried a couple.

Nah agreed. They've missed two sitters but I think we've been in control for the most part. Both their big chances came from our mistakes.

Yeah I think it's been pretty even so far. 

Who were they booing then? The ref didn't make any huge decisions either way. 

They didn’t want the corner taken in injury time

Not to impressed by our wingers today. Not terrible, but not great. All their attacks has come from our left flank. Manning hasn't been great either.

We also missed a very good chance.

If we sort our passing out we should be fine.

Need a bit more composure. Scienza needs to keep his width he's dropping deep and narrow and getting lost/caught in posession a lot.

On the whole we're fine, second goal will calm the nerves. Kind of game that is calling out for JWP to impose a measure of control in midfield.

Did you miss their chances?

I saw it all. You think Stansfield’s first chance was better than Larin’s? His header was ridiculously easy but that is football.

Did you miss the keeper fck up and Larins miss or don’t ours count? 
On chances we should be at least 2-2

Christ what is it with you melts jumping on a comment. They could have gone 3-0 up with decent finishing, they were all over us after the Schlotterbeck dodgy back pass

In the play-off positions as it stands 🙂

2nd if not for the -4.....but then we would be in the premier league I suspect 😆

That header, the dodgy back pass where they hit the post, there was another chance straight after too, they absolute could have been 3-0 up on another day

Their two main chances came down our right side.

Christ, when you look at the table like that it really does highlight how ridiculous that change is.

They have used way more energy than we have up to this point. If our subs play well we should be able to take it away from them

This seems to be how Tonda likes it, we never seem to blast out of the gates and blow teams away now (Although, fond memories of Charlton last year....)

The second halves always seem better. Love the better feeling this leaves over the capitulations we had under Ralph. Even if you lose, you can still finish strongly and feel aggrieved rather then feel hopeless after blowing it.

You are right. But they have played on our left flank more.

I can't put my finger on it but there's something that makes me feel comfortable about having JWP on the bench. I still believe for the price that he is a smart bit of business but then I was one of those that liked him before he left. This feels different to the Lallana/Walcott/Romeu signings, like he has more to offer yet.

Amazing insight from Tessem:

"If you get your shots on target then you've got a better chance of scoring".

Really Jo? That's blown my mind that has! Who knew?

2nd with the 4 points back. Fucking EFL.

Yeah, but 8th despite them, after only 4 games. Hopefully.

Brum will definitely score imo so one goal won't be enough 🤞 

Possibly. A second before they score would definitely make things more comfortable.

Yep. I was underwhelmed about getting him back, and whilst I'd prefer an option with more muscle/height, I've warmed to it and think he'll bring a lot to the squad and team this season.
