Was hoping for a bounce back but would settle for a draw away from home.
An enforced change with Solomon injured and a very thin looking bench, but job made a lot easier with the red card and thank the lord we made it one nil that half because we made such heavy weather her of it second half.
We just dont take our chances and that missed pen and Largie chance, you're thinking they'll get one chance and we'll be looking at an awful 1 all.
Gruev had a couple of shots but otherwise most of his passing is backwards.
Bogle starting to be a bit more of a threat going forwards, but he's developing his own version of the Ayling flop where he ends up on the ground for no reason.
I really dont understand why Struijk is penalty taker, I felt nervous when he took one earlier this season and that hasn't changed, has anyone heard an explanation as to why he takes them?
Rothwell really looks to offer very little, I know he's only getting mutes here and there bu Tanaka looks far more effective in that time given and good to see Schmidt get some minutes.
But what an impact sub Piroe was, he's not a 10, should be used as a striker and one owners what the thinking is behind starting Joseph ahead of Piroe, what are the factors that Farke sees in that key selection.
At one nil late in game I thought we just dont look like a top team who will get promotion, 2 nil makes it look a bit better, but this was against a 10 man bottom of table side and this the game you're looking for 4/5 goals from.
The more I listen to Kinnear's TSB interview
Thoughts from today

Didn't catch any of the game, only dipping into here and live Football reports. I had decided if we can't get 3 points today we have serious issues.
Well the performance sounded more of the same, possession and not much else, well 2 goals in the end.
3 points is all that matters in the end.

Good decision, Rev, it was like watching a slow-motion action replay of the paint drying.

I think Piroe needs to start the next game. For all Josephs hard work the goals are just not coming.
Tanaka should have got more minutes. The two defensive midfielders just doesn't work against teams that defend for 90 minutes. Perfect opportunity to bleed some of the new players and be brings Byram on.
Why isn't Joseph begging to take pens. Youd think hed be begging to score from them. Seems weird we are relying on a cb to take pens.
2-0 win normally id be delighted but there were a lot of question marks about the performance.

Under Farke, this team is held in first gear. It's like giving your Grandad a Ferrari and watching him drive off at 15 mph with his indicator on and his handbrake on. Just unbelievably hard painful to watch.
The squad might get us up despite Daniel Magoo.
However, if we do get to ghe Prem, Farke will be so
out of his depth. He helps the opposition every week. This squad, while still unbalanced, is far too strong for ghis division. In the right hands. Not Farke's.
For me, get rid now.

We completely bossed the game, never looked uncomfortable, had so many good chances.
Honestly I think the negativity is well over the top. I get why people don’t like Farke or his football - I don’t like his style. But the start we’ve had, it’s baffling to see so much negativity.
4 clean sheets in 6, where we barely looked like conceding. 3 comfortable wins. 1 loss against promotion rivals which was against run of play and we missed 2 great chances.

Farke is the new Bamford. Excuses everywhere.

Yep👍. Feel sorry for the lad and I know he’s also got 2 assists but 1 goal in 5 games is just not good enough. Really hoping things pick for him goal-wise soon.

3 points is all that matters. Norwich won 4-1 at home today and will be a stiffer test. Piroe needs to start up top going forwards. Yes he's a passenger quite often, but he's pretty clinical and is our best finisher.

Heres my tuppence worth as havent been on for a while. Farke needs to go as fed up listening to him, reminds me of harry enfield doing the gay dutch cops and his tactics and style of play is holding us back. Should have went up last year and deserved sack for not achieving. Noteworthy that neither rutter or summerville doing much so far in pl. Have to say i dont think joseph is ready yet and would prefer either bamford or piroe up top and bring him on with 20-30 minutes to go. Dont rate Bogle at all, waste of money and Ayling was and is a far superior fb yet we let him go and signed that dross. Dont understand peoples sudden love or forgiveness of aaronson. Too lightweight still and yes has a few moves but always seems to make the wrong decisions, just doesnt have the vision to be a 10. Also dont get people bigging up Tanaka as he doesnt pass ball foeward either. drops deep gets ball and passes back to ch and as for rothwell would play him lb behind changing room. We should still have a better than most opportunity to go up this year but not if we keep farke and his negative approach. Club needs cleared of those at the top as well. Summer was a joke like the board and our manager but the right man in place we could walk this league but wont happen with things as they are
