I didn't see any of the game but 2 goals and 22 shots should win you a home game.
We had 60% of the possession, 22 shots to their 11, 9 corners to their 1 and they committed 21 fouls to our 10. Which suggests that we were very much the dominant team. Quite simply, the reason we won't finish in the top two and may not even finish in the top six is that we concede far too many goals for a team hoping to get promoted.

These are all Bruce’s players who for the most part are fucking plodders and the best and most cultured player out injured.
Fucking dreadful. If Bruce has served up our last few performances this place would be in meltdown.
To me we are now a hybrid of Bruce and Smith. And the transition is going to look ugly. We should have won that game based on the possession and shot stats. Something we could never achieve with Bruce. But we are let down still by terrible defending and when we get desperate we go back to hit and hope. Smith needs time to change out the players and reinforce what he always wants to do. It just won’t happen in a few months.
