I hate when people have this attitude, of course people are going to see this as a bad omen, we've looked outclassed in almost every area of the pitch and showed no signs of being able to adapt when outplayed. I don't think this formation will work in this league, not without some very impressive central midfielders, we've got nothing in the middle.

AWFUL! Absolutely awful by Fielding!!!! Deserve to lose today. Piss poor! I feel sorry for the defence, they've worked their a**es off but we really need to strengthen the midfield. Totally outclassed in the middle today.

Always going to happen. Piss poor performance today so far.

Starting to look like it's only a matter of time....

Wes Burns aka the Flash haha

Fredericks looks like a good coup, looks comfy on either side, pacey, willing to take players on, good touches.

The one position we don't have back up for, or at least not naturally and it's an injury. Hope it's only a little knock for Bryan.

Holding on by a thread right now, they should be two up with their chances.

Defence is playing very well, some fantastic tackles, when we get in the final third we also look dangerous, the issue seems to be in the middle, we just don't seem to getting penetration and don't have options in the middle. When we get down the wing and actually get the ball in we're also getting chances.

I'm sure we'll pick up but with the pressure we're under right now if something doesn't wake the players up and we concede the game could easily get away from us. We seriously need to stop hitting long passes so much and start coming shorter to offer and build up chances. The amount of long passes we've played that haven't met their target is ridiculous.

We're not under a bit of pressure, we're totally pinned back, barely seeing the half way line, really need to actually get up the pitch!

In all fairness if we draw and Preston take their game in hand that leaves us only 5 points behind us, Preston are not as far behind as people seem to think they are.

4 minutes.... long lead that! For the love of god my fear is we could actually let this title slip, need to keep winning but it's a small squad >.< COYR!

What's making me nervous is Preston are not dropping points and have games in hand, now it's looking like we could drop enough for them to catch up. Pressure is on, time to shine.

Regardless of possession and so on we do need to score again and kill Rochdale off, we need all 3 points today to turn the screw on MK Dons seeing as they're losing.

Well this is dire.. Be happy with a point but don't see that happening.

Bristol City - 11 shots, only one on target. Sheffield United 9 shots, seven on target! Not a good stat that one.

The positives are that if we're having a blip so are Swindon and MK Dons. If we're going to drop points it's best to do it when the opposition do, still a great opportunity gone out of the window, win today really would have turned the screw.

Lucky that the others are losing too but if we lose we've essentially lost a good chance to go an extra 3 points clear. Time for City to dig deep now!

The hell?! Even Sky Sports had it come up as him being sent off :/ And BBC also have it as a sending off.

Second bookable offence, would take a draw now!!

According to the stats on BBC we're being hammered, way it's sounding I'd be happy with the point. Hope City come out fired up in the second!

Today's game is huge, really hoping for all 3 points. This month as a whole could be where we find out if we'll get automatic promotion, MK Dons and Sheffield United.... tough games!

In a way the MK result is good, it puts more pressure on Swindon as a win from MK Dons in their game in hand puts them equal on points but they are still 3 points behind us, had they lost Swindon would have felt a little more secure so all in all we're still 3 points clear of Swindon with same games played and six points above MK Dons with them having a game in hand. I think the results today were great, we start building some points up again and Swindon and MK Dons fight it out to stay in 2nd, suits me.

Absolute joke to lose this game. I wonder if people still think we don't need to strengthen the squad...
