Elliott has obviously done something to piss off the management. Bizarre not to give him time. A completely unconvincing game; pretty awful.
Ball retention and game control totally lacking.

Some nice moments and at least we played it at something faster than walking pace. But boy do we need to work on our passing

It wasn’t pretty awful, it was a team low on confidence. First half good, second was nervy.

Kamara and Pau were particularly good.

Fuck me, we made heavy weather of that.

Defence was good and Kamara excelled.

I don't know what's going on with Watkins and Rogers, but they need to sort themselves out.

A win.  I'll take it. Let's be honest this competition is our only hope this season.
Mid table and 3rd round exit of FA Cup home to a team from South likely.

Get a second while on top and that would have been healing but we just couldn't get that second.

Better first half. If Rogers can't make a pass he can't be 10, it's killing us in transition. Elliot has to play behind Ollie on Sunday.

Some one tell Rogers we play in claret and blue.

We did a win! Once again though I found myself drifting off and doing other things at multiple times. I miss being gripped.

Yep. The pen miss pretty much took any confidence out of the players and fans.
