Absolute headless chickens at the back. Shocking.
Walker nowhere for any of the ping pong.

Well I'd wish they would sort the mobile signals out here. I was still posting that f*cking message when Bristol scored. :oops:

Say it once, I'll say it again, we are not going to win games with this midfield, it doesn't matter how well they play individually, they are too lightweight and that means we will keep conceding with them there. Real shame, because I actually think we've played OK most the season, but the problem was evident after Derby when Meyler, Kelly and Swift all played atrocious and the problem hasn't really been fixed since then, Said getting injured was probably the last person we needed to get injured. Clement needs to change it, 3 at the back maybe, Ilori as a CDM, anything, but picking the same midfield will keep and keep leading to goals conceded

Well, thought we’ve been a bit of a shambles tbh

First 20 decent enough, Meite looked a handful

After that a mess. Midfield are nowhere, though Kelly has been the best of them and great goal

The organisation at the back is appalling - and yet you’d think with that highly experienced back 4...2 goals a shambolic mess, Walker nowhere on the second. Moore really disappointing imo

Brizzle are pretty useless. Nothing special at all, yet you’d have to back them to win at h/t

Neither of their goals had anything to do with the midfield from what I could see.

First half is a tail of lots of hard work and positives undone by two moments of meltdown panic.

The players simply have to be stronger mentally. That's not coaching, it's panic and fear.

Rinomhota has been aces bar a couple of loose passes or touches. Best midfielder on the pitch. Kelly scored an absolute beauty and has otherwise been very tidy and worked exceptiinally hard. Bacuna has been very flouncy and average.

Meite caused loads of problems and scared the shit out of them. Baldock ok. Defence ok bar meltdowns.

Barrow ok, but should be absolutely destroying their number 3 who is the worst player on the pitch by a mile.

Bristol are there for the taking if we can just keep our composure and not do our usual concede before 55 minutes.

Snakes have backbones? Not sure this works!

Worms, scorpions maybe?

If we lose this, Clement must never have the chance to try that. He should be sacked the moment he walks down the tunnel. No more "two more games" crap. We are approaching the point where every game is becoming a cup final as teams around us pick up points. On current form we went arnt close to survival.

In the past we struggled against teams at the lower end of the league, it is imperative that these are the team's we beat this season to stay in this division

Well, fair to say that was fun

Certainly defended better 2nd half and Bacuna’s goal was great

Bristol were terrible mind you, as was the ref (7 mins injury time?)

Certainly not all fine though and injury to Meite left us looking very lightweight. Walker made some good saves but seems glued to his line. Midfield did ok 2nd half

Think McCleary makes a huge difference. Compared to our other wide men is so much more intelligent - doesn’t dive in, give away stupid fouls and knows when to make the run. Looks loads better with him there

Anyway a massive 3 points and that’s the most impt thing
