Martin for Atkinson.

Might give Semenyo something to play off

It's not the overall performance.....it's the 2 conceded goals where our defending was non existent.

It's uncanny, it does not matter how we shuffle the pack the end result is the same I have no answer as in theory we have had some decent players at the back over the last two or three seasons but defending is still our Achillies heel.

Oh, for a penalty on the 90th minute.

But that would put Burnley out of sight! 

[MelksRed]

We need to adopt some shithousery and take a point.

I'd chuck a contract until the end of the season at Bamba. 

What do we have to lose?

Or adopt a lot of shithousery and take all 3!

Then its the coaching

Yes, it would never be for us, but one can only hope the law of averages somehow evens itself out.

[petehinton]

We look pretty shattered.
 

Think people are underestimating how hard these games would’ve been, let alone playing them back to back + all that travel.

Vyner's passong has been down to the usual standard again

Must admit it's hard to argue otherwise.

That's like saying the law of averages evens out so that my granddaughter will see a unicorn by next May!

Never mind , your continual positive posts On a match day , keep us all upbeat and with hope

Not happy with 2 away fixtures at Norwich and Burnley in 4 days but also how sloppy we have been in possession today

We kept 3 clean sheets in a row at home in August didn't we?

I can't say I'm too surprised we're conceding or not looking great at the back against the likes of Norwich and Burnley. Yes we're making mistakes of course but it's still better than last season, and it's tiring playing against players of this quality, which will cause mistakes indirectly as well.

I'm not excusing the mistakes, but it's got to be taken in context.

Very unfair to have 2 away games in 3 days and our opponents are home with an extra day's rest

Yes , because of course , Bentley isn’t a decent keeper

IMO Bentley is an average goalkeeper.

[ralphindevon]

Feel for Semenyo and Massengo, it’s difficult to build up match consistency when all you get is sub appearances.

Good enough for us.

Massengo knows what he's got to do if he wants more regular appearances. It's been explained clearly enough many times.

They are on the bench for two valid but differing reasons.

But not good enough for brentford.

Semenyo couldn't expect to walk back in after injury, and Massengo isn't helping himself by not signing a deal.

Got to win the shirt, would you have changed the front 3. I’d would have changed a James/ Williams and Scott midfield

[old_eastender]

Wells has run down everything today, probably our best player.

[Kodjias Wrist]

At least we have been pushing late on for the equaliser.

Who are and were ahead of us.

Well done.

FT 2-1 

[BLRed]

Utterly disappointing today. Too much standing off and backing away, wasting the little possession we have had. No game intelligence used (why are we floating in crosses to a big keeper that always plays high and comes for every ball?)

Didnt expect anything but at least a positive display.

sidenote: James should be benched as is not good enough and too slow.

[redkev]

Think you will see Antoine start against qpr . 
the next 4 games are all ( on paper ) winnable 2 in a row at home ,

think the picture will look a lot clearer ( well a little ) not after 2 away games against possibly 2 sides who will rob ably be to 4
