Salech ducked out of that challenge on halfway. Really unlucky bounce but more very porous defending.

It was lucky, yes, but then they did everything quickly and made their own luck. When we get into good positions we've taken an extra touch and allowed them to get behind the ball.
That was always likely to happen. Hopefully we’re not 2-0 down before half time
Losing that challenge was key as he looked favouriteQuote:

As shit as they’ve been you can tell the difference in quality between the two sets of players, our lot need three or four touches to get moving forward where as it only takes them one. Hamer is class on his day.Quote:

****s sake, so ****ing slow and casual even when through on goal
Was Chambers really signed for his ability to pass out from the back.🤣🤣🤣
my stream went down and i felt a small moment of joy
Its not the only thing that’s going downQuote:

Seriously watching the replay… what the **** was Horvath trying to do there?
It was spineless keeping. He should have come sliding out not wave one leg aboutQuote:

They can prove me wrong. :D
This midfield set up is dreadful
City were doing OK, a better performance than recent displays at least in terms of effort, but the problem is Sheffield haven’t really looked up for it and we still haven’t tested their keeper.
It’s been a poor game, though. Another glaring example of the lack of quality in the Championship this season.
A decent first half, but we do look clueless in the final third. The stats say we've had more attempts but those were from one incident.
we haven't played that badly, we've won a lot of 50:50s and are still in the game.
they've caused us some trouble with pace and playing balls behind the defence, but the goal came from a big slice of luck
Tanner for Ashford...Ollie has had a mare
A decent first half says everything about how far our standards have dropped in recent years. The only plus point has been how the individuals have been competitive in their own duels which is very rare. Apart from that what have we done well?Quote:

Bigger question is if anyone thinks Riza can make any tactical difference?
We're not behind because of bad luck. The quality of passing into the front guys is abysmal and zero composure/skill when needed. That's why we're losing.Quote:

My sentiments exactly.Quote:

More half time changes then , we’ve got to move the ball quicker , we’re too slow and passive but just can’t see how we’re going to get a goal
He could have changed which wing they were on. There was a time when wingers switched sides during a half without a sub needing to be made.Quote:

I know I'm clueless but I wouldn't have taken Alves off, especially when Willock is his replacement.
I'm now expecting 2 goals from him and 3 points.
That was really poor. He's not playing well.Quote:

They seem very nervy.
That chance just so poor tactically we are Willock and O Dowda press but not backed by others. Have to press as a unit. Really poor.
