All the debate about CCV, Lundstram, Billy, GKs etc and none of it is attached to worry about getting beaten easily. People are annoyed that we haven't picked up more than a point from 2 home games - That's a good sign for me. We just need to work on midfield shape and for another week and get a rwb fit and I'm confident that we'll go on another run.
 



I'm annoyed that we defended like twats on Tuesday and rolled out the red carpet for the goal today against a team that has the 2nd worst ratio in the division. Furthermore, we didn't provide a single decent cross or set-piece.

We have Bristol City at home in two weeks, who are quite good. If we don't put it right, we'll be punished.

The bloke blasted it in the top corner from 25 yards today, as the opposition have done in the previous 3 matches. It was their only shot on goal. Nothing to get worked up about, it really isn't. 9 times out of 10 that shot goes into Row Z.

Not to mention Villa away at Christmas. Serious contenders for an automatic promotion spot needed to take 7 or 9 points from our last 3 matches, and we managed 4. But we didn't play as badly against either Fulham or Brum as we did against QPR, in my opinion.

It wasn't the shot, it was the failure to close him down. There was an age between him receiving the ball and hitting it. This has been the case too often.

Which is obvious because we've conceded the same goal 4 games in a row. It's that much of a trend I was resigned to the fact we'd conceded before it went in, I actually said "shit" when he got there, that's how predictable that was. That area just either side of goal outside the D, we need to sort ourselves out there.

The positive I'm taking is that the reason we didn't get three points was us, nothing to do with them really. They were almost inviting us to attack them for most of the game but we were poor from the wings and too slow to let a shot off, so it's all in our hands.

Leon was fucking class as per.
 
We're still dominating and creating chances, even if it's less fluid and solid. We are looking, at times, a bit more leggy, which was always going to happen.

I'm slightly concerned about some of our dicing with danger defending at times. By defenders and midfielders. Trying to play it around too much in our own half. Teams seem to be cottoning on to this and trying to nick it. We got away with one tonight.

We need to get more bodies in come January or we might fade. We'll look better with Baldock back and Bash at the back. Just need to try and acumulate as many points as we can until January, get some fresh faces in and push on.

That just doesn't make sense, 3 almost identical goals in consecutive matches but 9 times out of 10 that shot goes into Row Z.
 
We will look better once Baldock is back I reckon.

I completely agree. I just think we will get it right by then. More time working on everyone's roles will hopefully improve the cohesion
 
Just listened to Chris's interview,and he said they will have a look at us conceding from shots..it did seem like we were slow to close down..Fleck was a bit in 2 minds..Enda could maybe done a bit more,but that was about it for them as far as shots in goal,so can't be to critical.
 
I am getting sick and tired of teams using us to offer up their goal of the season contender. Can't remember a time when we are on the receiving end of a worldly from teams who we restrict to a few attempts and they seem to find 35 yard thunderbolts when they never find then against any one else

Good players score good goals. Sure Wednesday fans thought the same about Fleck
