All on the dark side of the moon

We can't handle the bully boys, and I cannot for the life of me understand the team selection. In a game where we need to hold the ball in centre mid, we replace Huddleston and replace him with Johnson? Makes no sense. Much as I don't rate him, we'd have kept better balance leaving in Bryson too...

He'll just stick Holmes in at right back, and bring Bryson back. Shown our weakness at defending crosses again unfortunately. Was impressed with Roos again, and Waghorn deserved his goal. Evans a little disappointing but still time. Nugent awful. Fancy us against Preston with Marriott back

Made that look easy :confused:

Go for it, get some confidence and good feel factor going.

Yep. Nothing to do with my attention to detail / lack of. I didn't think much of him, so he can have a courtesy 4 rating.

Couple of alternatives Roos 6 Bogle 6 Keogh 4 Tomori 7 Lowe 4 Bryson 1 Gave the ball away at every opportunity, and fouled needlessly. Evans 6 Holmes 8 MoTM Marriott 6 Lawrence 7

Clearly Lampard can't organise a defence. Regardless of personnel, we concede too many too easily. Big learning point he'll need to sort quickly. Not complaining about the finish though!!!

£700k isn't bad at all if he comes back strong. He's gotta be ahead of Butterfield & Johnson, Huddleston won't go on forever, leaving Evans as our long term hope. Can't see him getting into the side any time soon without significant injuries to others though. Maybe we should sell?

Perhaps he's... just not good enough?

What politics is that Mistaram? FL seems quite open to giving lads a go, if Thorne impresses then why wouldn't he be given an opportunity? I'm sceptical, only based on his last outings for us that he wasn't quite at it.

Thats it for him, shame to see people struggle like that. Back to being a number 2.

Don't think we should buy anyone without selling personally, Johnson & Butterfield must be worth a few quid. The team seems reasonably settled, if Evans comes back and does as well as hoped, I can't see the need for anyone else, I think we go as we are, and maybe bring in a luxury type player on...

Did Evans play Mista? If so, what's your opinion (granted he's not going to be match fit)? I'm hoping he is the missing link for us, seemed to have potential in his little cameo before injury.

Thanks 'Amster, wonderful video. "King" Charlie George missing those 2 chances at the start helped us a bit. Hinton's crossing ability is a joy to watch. I don't think we'll see anything like that again, the game has changed too much. But a bit of silverware and some new club legends are long...

1-1... expect to be disappointed, usually happens around now doesn't it?

That was my observation too, we didn't seem to have the pace we've seen in recent games both on and off the ball. Hopefully just a blip due to mental fatigue. Another observation- 2 of their goals came from Keogh or Tomori being caught up the pitch, leaving Forsyth / Malone (can't remember...

I believe!

If I remember rightly, Boro had no shots on target Saturday (granted there were a couple of blocks), very easy for a keeper to switch off when their only involvement is playing sweeper, and perhaps the difference between a good and a great keeper. I'm sure Carson will be back on it. That 1st 20...

Interesting, I didn't think anyone had a bad game, it was a good team performance. 1st half, apart from the goal where I thought a tackle should have been put in before the player got into the box, I thought we defended excellently, I can't remember Carson having to make a save of note. Also...
