Great effort and hard luck lads - so much better than the surrender at man city last season - at least we gave it our best shot and have our pride back in the team.

[JUAN PABLO]

Even at 2-0 .you knew it

Pride?

Hard luck?  There was no luck involved in us giving away 3 goals in 15 mins, it was an astounding level of ineptness and and and...
Fuck it.

Depressingly predictable

[Jimbo]

Surprising two goals in the first half, but that's where the surprises ended. Inevitable result. Now we can concentrate on battling for a mid-table finish.

[Colhint]

why oh why. Crap 20 minutes, sh*t.  We've got some really good players but a poor team. 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'

[Matt Collins]

so frustrating. they completely fell to pieces for 15 minutes. they were like a rabbit in the headlights.

clark and petrov offered no protection to the back 4 all game, and looked so slow and ponderous against their quick feet.

didn't really have much of a shape, although injuries didn't help. Hopefully we'll have some width available on Weds or we're really going to struggle to create chances (Albrighton, gabby and CNZ all seem injury risks)

Poor lines man decision may have cost us two games in a row! (THIS and Marseille)

i think it was actually 7mins....

Would iy have been easier to take if we had gone in 0-0 at half time and lost 3-0?

Pride?

Yes im proud of our performance today whereas last season i was embarrassed at the whole approach to the man city cup tie .

[TheSandman]

We got two goals through some good play and then capitualted in fifteen manic minutes. Our defence is fucking wank and Warnock, Dunne and Hutton should hang their heads in shame for their appalling play that cost us the game. We really need to rebuild our defence but no one at the club has the guts or the will to do that.

So disappointing. Frankly, we are not going to be relegated and now our one chance of achieving anything has been pissed up the wall by a brief period of madness in the second half. Season over.

[philthebar]

Fortunate to be 2 up at half time - basic errors allowed them back in and then we were totally devoid of ideas.  Predictable.
