Take a step forward, and suddenly two back.
We never started, from the off. Absolutely no positives from that, and deservedly boo'd off.
Have to admit that Smith makes zero impact when he starts the game, but we didn't exactly get hold of the ball in the first half to be able to meet his strengths. None of them played well, albeit slightly better second half - then again you couldn't get worse from the first half.
I do feel that Hockaday is a dead man walking.
I don't have a problem with us losing, but to capitulate in such a manner takes me back to some of the terrible games under Grayson or McAllister in League 1.
Not sure what the problem was - none of them hit the spot at all, and Byram looks like his mind is elsewhere. Even on his best form, he wouldn't have made any difference tonight.
On to the next game. Keep our chins up, if we can
Well that was really disappointing

Mike,
It's all well and good saying you need to give these players time, but if they has any quality you would still see glimpses!
There was nothing at all tonight, nothing! It was as bad as I can remember!

Completely agree.

Bianchi IMO is playing alongside a shocking midfield, how can he show glimpses when nobody passes the ball, nobody wins the ball and the 3 stooges he is supposed tho blend with are clueless, useless and a million pound prank!

Like it or not, teams need to gel. I just don't want that gel around those 3 players.

He was easily the worse out of the three midfielders today
Like I said it's ok looking good in a preseason game with the pace to suit is game.
He's so slow he makes tongue look fast and his first touch and passing tonight was poor

Thought Cooper looked like he may be an improvement on Lees. Can't really fault Sharp, no service whatsoever.
Other than that, bag of w ank.
Can't understand why people think Bianchi is quality. Hope he comes good, but looks very average so far.

Exactly was the rubbish from last year, on Saturday there was only 5 playing, DH had no options tonight a bench consisting of 2 centre backs, 2 holding type midfielders, Ajose and Poleon, not much chance there, agree with posts about Smith and Byram.

Agree and it's not like he pulled up trees in Italy.
Won't be in team come xmas

Nevernsaid he was quality, just giving him time. The other 3 have exhausted ALL their excuses.

Low, if he is carp come Xmas I'll say fair enough, I have done with Rudy and I'll do the same with him.
