First half we looked solid and uninspiring, which if we could have kept it up might have been good enough to nick it, or at least a point.

Second half we paid the price for not being very good at keeping the ball, they are a good footballing side and we just gave it back and invited them on to us. Could have been more than 2 when we wobbled. Luckily there are only them and Wolves at that kind of level in this league really. Fulham have started slower than us, so if we can get back into the groove by beating Preston at home we can get back on track quickly. If we do go up though, a good premier league team would rip us a new one if we play like that.

The issue again was square peg round holes, you could see from the line up we wouldn't win, I don't want to jump back on the Bruce hate train, but the issue is he has no Plan B ever, maybe because we don't have the depth, but i felt like one or two of O'Hare, RHM and Green would be obvious starters in this match if fit. Instead we have again played it safe and tried to expect cloggers to play as wingers/attackers.

Green clearly not fit otherwise leaving him out of the squad would have been Bruce's oddest decision yet.

Some very strange people on this board...

A game I think which had been coming.  The good thing is that we get to correct it against Preston on Tuesday and we must be up for it.

We did..okay, for 45 minutes and had a couple of half chances.  That Barney shot on his weak foot probably being the pick.  Their goals for me were both gifts and not something I expect to become the norm.  We're usually much better than that defensively.  That said, I don't think Terry and Chester had much to do!

Snoddy looked better on the right.

Hogan I think is looking a bit of a shell again.  Apart from shooting and chasing down, I think he needs to get involved a bit more when we have it around their box.  Show for a give and go, don't just stand in the box looking for a picture perfect ball.

Shows how much we need grealish and adomah! 

Conor had another quiet game.  I've noticed he doesn't run with the ball much.  Maybe that's something he could improve on.

Axellooked good bar 1 or 2 moments.

Bruce got it as righr as he could given the circumstances.

Yeah we were on such a nice run in that shape, it might have been better to go like for like for Albert and Jack really. We might have been better with the ball.
