[schapmanowl]

Granted Rhodes has been poor but as has adthe. You cant ingnore Rhodes record at this level them 2 cant play together, get nuhiu off and winnall on now b4 its too late. We are playing the bottom of the league. Rhodes cant play well without service and it has not come

I thought that at first because McClean is behind Dawson.

 

However, I’ve paused it and Palmer and Borner are both goal side of him.

That's a heck of an achievement considering he isn't on the pitch!

[Rhubarb n Custard]

Hopefully a game of 2 halves 

[WindygrOWLer]

Hope Monk reminds them at half time that u just don't win football matches without spirit and fight. Need to come out and be first to everything. Wake the fück up.

[gurujuan]

None of our front four are goalscorers, that’s the problem

Absolutely appalling half of football from us. Look bereft of ideas and class

[DobbinTheDonkey]

Our game based on Nuhiu bringing the others into it.

When that fails because it's bouncing everywhere then we're f\/cked.

 

[Captain Scarlett]

We all know Bannan can play some amazing passes sometimes...........but............he can also play some diabolical ones too. I sometimes feel

if he took just a fraction of a second longer to weigh up the pass fewer would get intercepted or go astray. 

 

If Nuhiu and Rhodes continue 2nd half up front then it will be 1 - 0 Stoke.

 

Reach and Harris and Fox need to start raining in some crosses if those two up front are going to get anywhere near the goal.

Monk learning from this first half what 'treating the players like adults' at Christmas rewards him with.

Fat fizz ALL.

Awful.

 

Dawson, Fox, Lees, Luongo, Bannan and Harris playing.

 

Rest lousy.

 

Dom looking shaky today. Front two not holding the ball.

 

Signs we can dominate, but poorest half since Hull. 

I think you’ve been Awfully generous there. More mistakes than you’d expect from reliable players like Lees and Bannan. 

 

Lucky to still be in the game, but we are still in it and need to test them as I think they crumble if we can get one back.

Very happy to have gone in 1 down, should be more, Harris getting a stupid booking too, when will these footballers learn? 

Id take a point as it is.

 

It is a stupid booking but he must be as frustrated as the rest of us. wee wee poor 45 minutes with little hope of the front 2 giving him anything to play off then just before half time he gets a rare chance to run at them and the ref gives a free-kick against him after their player falls over.

I hope he learns from this, they're letting him and us down big time.

[SiJ]

He has to make changes.

 

That front two are hopeless together. Like having a hippo and a slough up top.

he’s a good manager but they have t had to break sweat today. We simply haven’t turned up.  
 

 

I didn't mention the way we played just the ridiculous claim thats oft made on here about how we should trounce teams based purely on their relative league position despite what happens regularly in this division 

Never has the statement anyone can beat anyone been as true as it is this season in the Championship

[Animis]

Come on lads - big improvement needed 2nd half.

 

I'd have taken a draw before the game, so I'll go 1-1 and we can move on to Sunday.
