The long unbeaten home run is over.
Late consolation goal for Berner.
Tunchev very poor, Brown much improved. Neilson unbelievably shit.
Found our level?
It's very difficult to know what the right level should be for a newly promoted side - guessing I would say if we get established in mid table then that would be a reasonable outcome.
More points pissed away be truly dreadful defending - sheer incompetence at it's very finest
We created bundles of chances and half-chances and weren't sharp enough to put them away. Must have been twenty or thirty at least - maybe more
Wellens pisses about with the ball like a feckin' great girl, and then the useless fecktard Brown let's their big lump run 45 yards and it's game over
The decision to play Brown instead of Hobbs was quite ridiculous. He is shite
The decision to keep N'Guessan on for over an hour was farcical. He is out of his depth
The decision to then take Howard off was just plain stupid, and had to be corrected by another substitution.
The decision to buy Neilson at all is beginning to look utterly shambolic, bordering on the insane. We've had our fair share of tossers at right back over recent years, but he is firmly up there in the Curtis/Maybury category, if not worse
We are where we are on merit - and if we continue with that back four, and with a complete lack of width, we certainly won't get any higher and may indeed fall a fair bit further
agreed seems unfair that hobbs has one bad game and gets dropped - tunch then has to play on the right side , brown has had loads of bad games and been at fault for a few goals as well and gets to keep his placeThought we were very poor defensively today, missed Hobbs like hell. Brown and N'Guessen are not good enough for this division.

That was crap of the highest order. I said before the game, **** knows why Hobbs was dropped instead of Brown and it was baldy's mistakes that contributed to a poor loss.
Weale - 5 - Did the basics well as always, could have done better with their first.
Neilson - 3 - Gave the ball away, wasted a great chance 10 minutes from the end, his long throws cause more problems for us than they do the opposition and was regulary skinned.
Brown - 3 - Crap defending on both, he let the fattest, slowest **** on the pitch run 60 yards for the second. Should have cleared the initial danger for the first.#
Tunchev - 5 - Nowhere on the second goal and looked unfit
Berner - 6 - Best defender, good tackles and a well taken goal.
N'Guessan - 5 - Not very good, put one good cross on Howard's head that unsurprisingly flew over the bar.
Wellens - 5 - Didn't look fit. Thats the worst game he's had for us.
Oakley - 4 - God only knows what it is with him but every so often he has a stinker. Culpable for the first with a terrble defensive header. Also ballsed a one on one up in the first half.
Gallagher - 6/7 - Lightweight but some cracking early throughball for Fryatt, could become a key player when he settles.
Howard - 4 - Totally ineffective today.
Fryatt - 7 - He and Gally were the best of a bad bunch today. Matty's tireless running and surprisingly good hold up play gave us a good base for attacks and was unlucky not to score. Even tracked a player 50 yards after a Brown mistake.
Subs.
Waghorn - 4 - Did nowt.
Dyer - 4 - Did nowt.
Kermorgant - 6 - Promising touches but hard to tell what he's all about from a desperate tactics in the last 15 minutes. I want to see more of him thats for sure.
Our defeat wasn't only due to our poor performance, PNE were good at what they did (think Bolton). The worst ref i've seen in a while too, turned down a stonewaller on Matty in the box, it wasn't long after that they trotted upfield and got a second.
Still, words can't describe how shite the two goals that we conceded were.
Pretty much agree with that, apart from being maybe a little harsh on Oakley who I thought had a good first half at least.
