Carey's out and it's a rout as Gary heads for January sales

[Bristol Boy]

Having reviewed the highlights:

• Fontaine's yellow was correct and it wasn't a pen.
• As I thought, Orr handballed that first half cross and that should have been a pen.
• Byfield was brought down for the pen before they scored their second and that could have made a big difference.

Basso was badly at fault for goals three & four and McCombe looked like Bambi on ice for the third.I wonder if Basso's fully fit following that crack he took against Cardiff??

Not closing down around the edge of our box was a major factor in their second, ala Barnsleys first.

All sound, basic defending and our lack of possesion particularly in the second half was a killer.
