Not a classic but still intriguing how it’s playing out and how our players react to different situations.

And I’d still rather be watching us, even if it was the World Cup final on the other channel.

100% ,

Sykes Pring Knight TGH - absolutely woeful

Only positive from that half is that it’s finally over. 

Agree on Sykes and Knight.

[RedM]

Poor first half from us. Drab

[Guest]

We are as it stands; 2 points from bottom 6 and 4 from top six.....it could get worse, it could get better...this match is important...lets take all the points then move on.

Pearson looking decidedly dodgy on those steps.

Still the best run we've made all half

[Midred]

Who's the penalty taker with Wells on the bench, not that one will be needed!

[willy bedlock]

We r shit

 

[Mr Popodopolous]

I should ask, no commentary as music alongside football, did Sky pundit think a penalty or no?

Skye?

I went for an anagram In the half time rush for mother can. 

[hertsexile]

How we have not been awarded 2 penalties is beyond belief once again officials seem to be blind to rugby tackles yet a mere tickle by bell is noticeable

[And Its Smith]

Wouldn’t be massively surprised to see us go 3-5-2 at some point if it continues like this. 

[WolfOfWestStreet]

Not watching any more of that.

So there’s not a lot on.  I’d like to see if James can drop in and Dickie or Naismith drive forward to create that space.

There was one occasion we did this later on, we need to move them around a bit some how.

Dreadful game so far, very low on quality for the Championship - both teams look lower league.

I cannot see any positives from that half, it was absolutely shit.

TGH and Williams were both liabilities that half, Sykes looks *****d, Knight looks like he suits this game (not a compliment), Bell and Cornick on a hiding to nothing with a currently nothing midfield behind them. 

Hopefully, a big bollocking and regroup second half and play some football, but I'm not holding my breath as we are carrying players at the moment.

We are better than that first half and we should be beating this lot.

[Midred]

Decision made without VAR!

The commentators said both were penalties.

Phrases like "you can't do that" were used.

Like a few of us were saying in the stoke thread the quality of the championship officials seems to be woeful, if the ref didn't see that the linesman should have.

They have been beating us up for the best part of the first half.   And only 1 yellow and a couple of fouls given.

It was a real downturn following the introduction of VAR in the prem.

I assume they are doing something differently in there training to adjust for VAR but obviously we don't have VAR!

Somerset in a cricket final?

That’s unfair!

[Fordy62]

Not sure I’ve ever seen such a reasonable argument for all 10 outfield players to be subbed. 

[Andy082005]

Bell and Sykes off 

get Mehmeti and Weimann on I say

Thanks. You'd hope to get one of them at least and then if you do and you score the whole dynamic changes.

[Lew-T]

Rathbone

[Super]

Chances of SKY showing the return fixture?

[alexukhc]

Need to get this Rathbone sent off, I really dislike him

[Rossi the Robin]

Maybe it’s the kit…

Yes, overwhelmingly so

[Ivorguy]

This is truly dire

Just now, Super said:

Nah. They’ll be showing the Spurs vs Liverpool replay.

You wait for the EFL to review that and give Sykes a 3 game ban.....and a 2 game ban for Bailey Wright just for giggles....
