Here we go AGAIN.  Naismith down injured

 

Hopefully our esteemed Physicians Lansdown and Tinnion will be all over the reasons.  That’s how it works isn’t it?

Max has absolutely killed us today. His kicking has been ******* horrific. 

No we’re being pushed back by a decent side who were in the Prem last year, who have scored a fabulous goal from a guy who has been in England squads

[Curr Avon]

City FK just left of 18 yd box.

[Midlands Robin]

Just got back in time to catch the second half. The stream-10 stream keeps dropping out and the other link won't load but from the sounds of it, I'm better off not watching.

It was always going to be a difficult away fixture so hopefully we can drag a point out of it and crack on but from the sounds of the comments on here, we'll have to improve to do that.

[Super]

Some improvement at last

[GlastonburyRed]

That'll be the gaffer's honeymoon period over rather quickly then.

[Denbury Red]

Mehmeti on Sykes off - think Sykes tweaked something a few minutes ago

Whats that gotta do about Max’s shit kicking?

You could post this every week mate. The only thing that lets him down.

[Curr Avon]

Mehmeti on for Sykes.

[Red Army 87]

Rob Garnacho there

[Lanterne Rouge]

Rob Dickie trying a Garnacho with predictable results!

[pillred]

It's a free hit tonight as I doubt even our most optimistic supporters expected anything, but I would rather we went 2-0 down trying than how we are going about it at the moment.

[Silvio Dante]

As I said earlier, first half excellent.

However.

The concern over Liam is twofold for me - “process over outcomes” and the ability to react in a game. It was working first half but there are two teams in a game. The other team react to how you play, and you need to counter react - and do so well.

That MK Dons tailspin troubles me, and it will continue to do so while we have the inability to react to other teams in a game. There is no sense in being wedded to a philosophy and process over outcomes when that process is combated and the outcome is wrong.

[Leabrook]

Sykes off with cramp

Well he ain’t the reason we’re losing so ‘killing us’ is a touch dramatic, no?

Surely not cramp?

[ProfitInMyPocket]

First 35 of Boro and this second half ain't good, all the hard work of the first half undone by a wondergoal, its a shame.

Most be injured or that makes no sense.

Should have moved Sykes further forward he is are best attacking player and maybe be our best player 

[IAmNick]

In other news does anyone else think Nahki is really great on the co commentary? Really insightful and confident to chat away. Would happily have him on more often (although even better if he's on the pitch ofc).

Heard cramp wasn't playing tonight as he felt a bit stiff?

You never heard of a player going off with cramp before?

[AppyDAZE]

3 good chances in the 1st half, none taken.

That's your problem.

Overall, hasn't been bad.

[bcfc01]

Funny how the comments have turned and now there are concerns over Manning and the honeymoon is over 

[Denbury Red]

When you want Keith Stroud to make it all about him and award a penalty!!!!

I’m enjoying listening to him.

I get that, but it would be nice to get something out of the games against the big boys in this league now and again like.

Where would we be with a good striker

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

The problem we've got now is that we have to be more precise with our passing up front. Having removed the pace of Bell and Conway and for that matter Sykes we can't just put the ball into an area to run onto but will need to pass to feet.
