This is a very bad result especially after last weeks slump against Wigan. But truth is i dont think weve been playing that well all season. We are definitely worse than last year under Mac, mainly because we have lost Wisidom,  Bamford and Thorne and the loanees brought in are not nearly as good. Also Bryson has lost his mojo. Dunno why Hughes was left on the bench but our main problem is lack of cutting edge. Only Martin is a regular goal threat.

 

That's pretty much my feeling summed up.

Disappointing, especially to be leading in the last two league games but lose them both. I had thought we were looking more professional, if with less flair this season.

 

It's a big wake up call for the team. This is going to be a long hard season, with lots of ups and downs. We'll do it, but we have to get back on our game quickly.

That's just an open invitation for other teams to run at us.  It's all well and good having passers in there, but you have to do the dirty work as well.  Eustace, Bryson and Hughes for me - it's well balanced and everyone knows their role.

 

What other Championship sides play a style of football which involves passing and running with the ball? 90% just play direct football and look to win the second balls.

 

Our problem is being overrun becasue we can't keep hold of the ball.

 

Today Hendrick completed on 68% of his passes. That's shocking. Dawkins on the other hand completed 97%.

 

We have no midfield runners ourselves. They get the ball and it's all lousy sideways passing. Mascarell was the one driving the team forward with forward passing at Fulham, though I don't know if he did that today?

 

Bryson contributes nothing if he's not scoring. Absolute waste of a midfield spot. 

 

We lack a player who can pick the ball up in central midfield and carry it. Dawkins is the only one who can do that.

half of it is that a sausage ton of the time we just expect opponent teams to drop own and lie down for us, we dont have the impotenence we had, and the majority of the time it's as if the squad has forgotten to play football, i think too many of the squad are getting complacent and just expect us to go

 

and this just isnt against brentford, weve been nowhere, absolutely nowhere as good as last season

Well we're back to fourth now so that should serve as a reminder. I agree we haven't been as good as last year, a lot of the fluency has gone, but we're still fourth and can improve considerably. That's no bad position to be in.
