In retrospect, taking off Kaz was a contributing factor, he defended those areas where their attacker was able to stream through.. JHI let him past and didn't have the same presence.

Kaz looked dead on his feet to be fair

Unbelievable. So sorry for the lads who have been so resolute after the red. We were the better team overall, we were dominating until we went down to 10 men.

Hard for 10 to play against 11 for so long, but when the Ref makes that 10 v 12 then we can feel hard done by. Massive mistake from the ref not giving a clear free kick on Sibley.

Hopefully the lads can take the positives from the game and recover in time for Brum.

I understand there will be some complaints about Rooney not using his subs, but the players on the pitch were handling the game and we looked comfortable. Any changes could've unbalanced the team early on (like Preston got weaker when changing formation). So we can't point the finger at Rooney. We deserved at least a point today. Let's focus on the next match.

Don't blame the ref. Waghorn cost us that match.

There is room to blame both. He played 1 min over the time, he stopped Jozwiak from being through on goal for God know's what reason, and somehow ignores Sibley being rugby tackled which would see the time run out.

The sending off obviously massively changed the game, but I don't think we played all that well today.

Didn't come anywhere near replicating the Swansea performance in the opening stages of the game, and largely looked quite similar to how we looked under Cocu this season, and indeed through many of Rooney's first few games.

Sending off is obviously the major turning point, but it wasn't a good performance.
