C'mon guys, clean sheet would be good.

Good time to score, they were starting to settle into the game.

Bruce took far too long to make the changes. There was plenty of time to see that we weren't getting any joy even against 10 men before half-time. It was like he continued to play to keep a clean sheet and hope to scrape a goal. Which coincidentally is what Boro were doing when they went down to 10 men. We're not going to move up the table playing for draws.

Stupid challenge but a red was pretty harsh.

Adomah's been great. Once again the right changes just far too late.

The plan for a boring 0-0 draw is going well so far.

We could play like this for 10 years and still never score.

Hope he never tries 5-3-2 again. He clearly can't get it to work. Waste of the first 20 mins and now Bristol have settled in while we are playing catch up.

Four again!

He does that thing where he holds the ball up, the defenders can't get it off him and end up fouling him. Doesn't seem very mobile he was often in the right place at the right time anyway, ready to hassle their defenders and make his presence felt. In fact his first chance came because of that.

Don't need to say much more about Hourihane and Davis - both fantastic. We clearly have confidence issues, when we have the confidence to push the midfield forwards, make forward passes and have shots from distance it does work. When they scored our confidence took a hit and we were starting to fall apart again, but in the end we didn't which is promising. Hopefully we can build from the positives.

Taylor was great. probably went mostly unnoticed but he supported the attack down the left just the right amount, didn't bomb forwards and get caught out of position, defended well. Bring Bree into the team ask him to do the same and our defence will improve significantly.

Really needed that third goal, we were falling apart again.

How predictable. Their only attacking threat scores.

Magnificent Green. Absolutely magnificent.

Not much of our play coming down the right. Which is definitely a good thing.

Davis has done more in 25 mins than all our other forwards combined in the other games this season.

A little passing and movement and suddenly we start to create some chances.

There is nothing here to suggest Bruce is going to improve us at all. He must go, sooner rather than later.

It's not like even we've made them look good. They're pretty bad, we're worse and they don't even look like they're trying.

Steer should stay in the 1st XI based on this.

O'Hare's passing and touch is great especially considering the poor conditions, example to everyone else.

8 minutes? Are we playing Alex Ferguson's Man Utd. 

We're the reverse Man U - experts at conceding last minute goals

Still zero shots on target...

cant have ayew and jack in the same line up... the slow everything way too much and always cut in the middle

Then when we get to the edge of their area they have a wall of players which we either run into or shoot at

There were five new signings in that starting line-up. Didn't take them long to sink to our usual level.
