Looks decidedly dodgy on the crosses. Ran out and jumped for one with 3 players between him and the ball, and then punched wildly at one that was a soft catch. It's another worry.

Snap!

Fucked it. We were settling for 3rd a few games ago, now 5th is real prospect in the next couple of weeks. Just not clinical enough! Sadly, we're not even creating the chances where being clinical could matter. Also, we are still beyond useless at set pieces - how many years is that now?? It's laug...

Sadly, totally correct.

Sheffield Wednesday showed how to do it against us and it's been a case of rinse and repeat ever since. The list of teams doing this to us is growing and Farke has no answer. Trouble ahead.

We haven't a clue what to do to get back into this game. So poor.

Not one single opportunity over 90 minutes. Corberan did a real job on Farke tonight.

And/or Archie Gray's.....

Put a great ball over the top for Rutter

Fair enough - but to all intents and purposes he's our central midfielder and you can list the two things he's done well over 45 minutes.

Therein lies the issue.

Byram at sea all night, Gruev simply not involved and we have a crooked ref. We're also being physically bossed.

Need significant inspiration at halftime.

Glad Stewards enquiry got sorted and congrats Boo.

Preston please.

Thanks Madron! Was certain I'd lose in a play off if it had come to that. Well done to you too!

Major Error on My Part I inadvertently left out Boo Radley from the last round's results. Boo, like Madron, chose Coventry and should therefore still be in the competition. Since so many people have already made selections for the next round, I think the only fair thing to do without upending the e...

“ You pay the price for inexperience sometimes. Should have done better, but don't want to blame him that much” I’m amazed at that comment. Surely it is the club that’s paying the price for consistently not buying a left back to do the left back job, and not have Archie Gray dragged out of position ...

Hi John, I had Coventry as well as Madron, so should it not be a final round between the 2 of us - unless there is something I’m missing???

He isn't bang average at all, we are the most feared side on the league, the side that everyone has to change tactics or else they get destroyed. The players need to take responsibility for their individual performances. Inclined to agree with you, but the casual approach to these "lower"...

Contributed one touch. Just a joke. Anthony has to be ahead of him - bizarre to think otherwise at this stage.

That's how to beat Leeds.

Sadly, James showed the value of a couple of good dives.

We don't value the need to physically dominate opponents, and that is hurting us.

Had to laugh, it's a costly mistake that Boo, take my word for it, many years ago I did exactly that, I was "rather incensened" shall we say, at a referees decisions against us, my foot went clean through , smashed it to bits like, had to nip down to the pub to watch the rest of the match...
