Can I just ask the usual group of posters , ensure we have a scapegoat today , even if we get something out the game

 

Mark Ashton!

Decent first half and I have a feeling this is set up for a TC master-class.

[tin]

I’d be fuming if we conceded a goal like Naisy’s but I’ll take it, and it’s no more than we deserve after a decent first half.

Ball looked like it had swerve but even so, we had plenty of time to deal with it after that and didn't. Our issue is trying to play the ball out when we can't manage it yet we still play a lot of long ball passes under less pressure when in possession.

That’s what I thought, looking at the replay it seemed to be more of an instinctive block rather than it being a save, not sure he saw it till late. Knight totally at fault, should have hoiked it.

Why is it that Leeds seem to beat us (not yet) no matter form or league position? we just don't seem able to get the monkey off our backs.

Because I believe we are psychologically weak. A very soft underbelly when facing the big clubs. 

[firstdivision]

Let’s be fair, they’re significantly better than us (whatever the reasons). Makes it easier for them when you hand them a goal though. Don’t know why we don’t just kick it in our own net sometimes. Had 3-0 written all over it. But that’s football.

This stream has been flawless, for anyone still looking. 
 

Quite fortunate to be level really, we haven’t played too badly but they simply have better players than us. Hopefully we can avoid a 14th defeat in 17 games against Leeds.

Hey look we equalised 

It is nice to be wrong even if you didn't see the goal. I should have more faith like you.

Take that all you moaners over the past two pages! Not played anywhere near as bad as you have made out…Must hurt seeing us level

Oh we've not played bad, we played well but then made a very basic mistake that allowed Leeds to take control. Our equaliser was very much against the run of play but I wouldn't say we deserve to be out of the game.

I think a lot of the negative comments are from frustration of us making the same mistakes game after game and not learning from them. You can play better for 85 minutes of a game and lose 3-0, it only takes a few seconds to make a silly mistake that costs you a goal and the goal today summed that up perfectly, a basic mistake followed by another and poor marking and we're behind, can't blame people for saying "we keep doing this" or "Another stupid mistake" when they're referring to a consistent that is costing us points.

Who is the Alex somebody in the Robins TV studio?

[cidercity1987]

Robins TV presenters sum up this club

Nice lads, intelligent, professional, no passion, no gravity, extended to the club as a whole and its no wonder we get nothing from refs

[Dan Robin]

Satisfied with our performance so far: we battled well and our play has been OK overall, with some promising attacks here and there. They created much more but when we were on top (at the start of the game), we should have had a penalty (not surprising eh?!?  ), so...we deserved something, and Kal gave us a goal.

Il will be a tough second half, and the annoying booking given to Dickie will be a danger.

I think your right frustrating really as although technically they are better than us there’s no reason for them to be quicker or stronger than us at times we do seem to have a weak underbelly ,how many times has bell been pushed off ball or the amount of half hearted challenges we’ve lost in the middle .it will come

Exactly why Naismith shouldn't be taking set pieces and why he should be in the box.

I did say more than once this week

 

Decent start, worrying middle period, sloppy goal (Arghhh Knight), good end.

Cmon you reds.

[RedM]

A fair few would have missed the goal after rushing to the concourse minutes before. 

[i_am_red]

Asking as someone who backs Joe Williams every week to get booked…do we know if it was him or Dickie who got that early booking?

You should give it a try, you might enjoy it more.

I always thought that was because his free kicks are technically the best of everyone's, TGH has now come in and has a much better technical pass which means if we're confident enough not to have both TGH and Naismith over the ball we can finally get Naismith on the end of it. I guess the simple enough reason he's not in the box, we never had anyone good enough at delivering it to him until now.

Countdown conundrums are getting more difficult these days!

[Curr Avon]

Cornick can't hold the ball with his back to goal. Should he drop deeper to find space or should we play passes behind to Sykes and Bell?

[marcofisher]

Love Bell but feel he could defo do with sticking his head up when he receives a ball rather than getting the ball under control before looking, Sykes was in acres of space

[Henry]

Sam Bell needs to come off. He had about 3 chances to release someone to go in and he’s ****** it up.

Both. You hit one or two when he drops deeper and on other occasions the other two get on their bike if the defender goes with him and you try and get in behind.....

[RedorDead BCFC]

Bollocks 

[old_eastender]

oh no, standing off them on the edge of the box and weak shot finds the corner. Max positioning questionable.

[ZiderEyed]

That was so poor
