Absolutely gifted then this game today, you can't play like this against top teams

And Connor Roberts couldn't make the squad.

Go get him Huw

Wow that's embarrassing

It's rewind four weeks

Team selection completely wrong today.

Lati should never be played at wing/full back, lacks every quality a decent one needs.
Sorinola is OK on his best days, on the wrong side of the pitch he's atrocious.
I don't know what Naughton has done to deserve his place back, was awful prior to being rested and hasn't been at it today.
Piroe is a shadow of himself and needs a rest.

Add to that the return of the mistakes in possession and today was never going to go well.

Having said that, we shouldn't be judged at how we do away to one of the favourites for promotion. Bounce back on Tuesday and all will be well again.

West Brom still interested?

At least Cardiff are losing. Martin needs to make big changes at half time, this formation is a disaster. Hope Manning isn't too serious.

Changes shoulda been made yonks ago - our two biggest weaknesses have been exploited to the max, and Russ just stood there

West Brom still interested?

Is you car posied ?

I think this shows to me that we have a very thin squad. One or two injured or off form, and we're selecting people who just don't come up to the mark. Cabango is having a nightmare, looks like he's got lead in his boots, and the failure to secure some good wing backs n the summer is really coming back to bite us now.

Back to life, back to reality.

Imo we've had the rub of the green recently. Most of our games coulda been a lot different, with a few twists and turns.

A proper wake up call, for so many.

Let's hope this isn't a repeat of our last purple patch false dawn, where Russ reverts to type again and fecks it all up. By all accounts it's now different - the players have finally ousted Martinball and they get it - they now know how to win despite Russ.

Eleven strangers on the pitch, it's a team game

 

[K23]

Did we actually have anyone watch Burnley's last 2-3 games and report back that they have pacey wingers so we need to keep them out of the game as much as possible and set the team up to do that. No? Or did RM think playing with wingbacks instead of fullbacks to mark their pacey wingers would be ok because we'd have 2 really slow defenders ambling around somewhere near them and we'll be fine?

Manning, Cooper and Darling our three best players last week. Manning injured, so what does he do with the other two? Clown show. After a few good results does he think he’s Guardiola again? I expected to lose, but I expected to compete. We ALL know - every one of us - that Ntcham is a substitute not a starter and that Lati is a liability at wing back, and yet, here we are.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

This game tells us exactly where we are which will be mid table again this season, not enough quality for playoffs.

 

[Neath_Jack]

Regressed to the team we were before he changed things up.

Very poor team selection.

Let's go win the second half, at least.

 

[Jackmanandboy]

4-3 we are going to win 4-3
