Had a good look, didn't see one so here goes.

Prediction - as difficult as ever but will be disappointed if we don't get a point - think we will - I'll go for 1-1 Chair to score

14th according to the Sky app


It will be after the Cardiff game tomorrow. But 7 teams all on the same points is meaningless.

No way was that a 2-0 game, but B City defended well, we didn't create much, and you can't gift a team like that a free goal.

Barbet's got a lovely left foot but his actual defending looks a bit suspect after a few games

Onto the next one!


Barbet and Hall always looked lightweight. May not be as pretty, but think we would be tighter with BFG in there.

Not quite good enough at either end. Very difficult once we went 2 down - bit of a howler from Lumley but Barbet didn't help him much with the way he seemed to half miss half leave the ball - bounced up late and high and Joe fcuked it right up.

Amos played well I thought and looked really annoyed with the loss at the end.

If we played BFG in there we'd have to drop the defensive line twenty yards - that's a big decision.

A frustrating loss. As others have said, Bristol wasn't much better, but they defended well and didn't make mistakes.

We need to find a way to finish, but I don't trust this defense to pick up many clean sheets this season.

Rangel was more at fault for that then Lumley in my opinion, though not discounting how awful it was from him too. An experienced player like Rangel making a throw on like that? Terrible.

What do I know, but I was so surprised when I saw Rangel on the team sheet, thought he looked the weak point in the first half, sure enough got himself booked early on, and then produced that throw on. Manager must have had a damn good excuse for not playing Kane.

So frustrating, but can’t say we deserved much, we created nothing up front, and I see that being the worry for us this season.

I’m not sure we would if we had Kane at RB.

I think we would, as a RB can't always cover for a slow centre-back, especially when we play our full-backs so high up the pitch.

I thought that a major problem with last year's team was that we forced to play so deep all the time due to the lack of pace at the back. Wouldn't like to see us go back to that, and hope we don't have to.

Yeah but no but yeah but is BFG that much slower than Hall? Maybe a bit but not that much.

Not saying we should be throwing any babies out with any bathwater already but maybe BFG should be in the frame for these kind of away games? (Maybe he was?)

Yes, finishing is the biggest issue for me. BOS and Eze can ghost past anyone in this league but neither delivers a final ball with consistency. Too often their last touch is out of their reach. I'm sure this will be worked on, at least I sure hope so.

Defence needs work too, but it always takes a bit time for defenders to settle into a relationship and I reckon it'll improve over the next few games.

Yeah. Love the guy but he was poor and he knew it. Looked old. Ditto Cameron.

Plenty of positives too. BOS was excellent again albeit very lucky to not get a red card.

A succession of cockups, but I thought Barbet completely confused Lumley by looking as though he was going to head the ball away.
