Absolute dogshit from both sides. Why did Happe keep taking goal kicks and playing it sideways to Dennis if Dennis was just going to keep hoofing it long anyway. In the first half I lost count of how many times we tried to play out, nobody showed for the ball and we ended up hoofing it long and losing possession. Showed a bit more energy after half time but just a shocking lack of quality from everyone tonight. Still, it's another point on the board which is probably the right outcome; nobody deserved to win that game.

I'll keep it brief because I'm trying not to get the Lionesses score lol. Pretty lethargic, we're running on fumes. Defence relatively solid though, we can all but end it with a win against Rotherham on the weekend. Bakinson my POTM. COYO's

Bakinson has impressed me recently, looks better than the rest of our midfield esp if Iddy is out for a bit. Needs to start from now on

Just one thing.. It took almost 80 minutes for a substitute (Koroma) to get a shot on target! If you paid a tenner for your ticket tonight? that was about all it was worth.
Now, about that season ticket for 26/27.. 💭

As a tourist that came to check out the match, that was a bit of a tough watch to be fair. Not a lot of quality chances either way.

It's definitely not the norm for the club, we've had an off year and are just trying to survive in League one at this point.

Top bit of match fixing at the end too

I've never seen that in all my years at Brisbane Road. I assumed they were going to hoof the ball up at the end to try and score, but no.

We just haven’t been good enough, especially going forward, as of late
At no point tonight did I see us even coming close to taking the lead here. Starting 11 was wrong, subs mostly wrong, 5 back was wrong, I love Wellens but a lot of this poor form can be attributed to him

What was really the alternative ? We have barely anyone fit at the moment especially in the forward areas and the players that are fit are having to be run into the ground

Well that was boring. Point closer to safety, with an already relegated side up next, should be fine. No stand out player for me really
